Langerak, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Houtrakgracht sits in a quiet street in Utrecht's Langerak neighbourhood. Built in 1999 with energy label A, it's efficient and ready to live in. The asking price of €455,000 is 43% below the neighbourhood average of €797,000, partly because the floor area of 73 m² is smaller than the local norm. That makes it a keen entry point compared to other terraced houses in Utrecht.
Langerak is a neighbourhood where families and long-term residents mix. Based on two reviews, opinions differ. One resident says: "A cosy neighbourhood where everyone is welcome. I feel safe. I can have a chat with the neighbours. You can play outside safely." Another notes: "The neighbourhood is going downhill because there are people who don't integrate, throw rubbish down. I've lived here for 12 years, always with great pleasure, but the last 3 years it's been going downhill." Most homes were built between 1990 and 2010, and the area has a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties. For more context, see the Langerak neighbourhood.
Your morning bread run is to Jumbo just around the corner, with Lidl a couple of streets away. For primary school, obs De Klimroos is on your doorstep, and Al Amana Leidsche Rijn is a short walk. Secondary pupils head to Leidsche Rijn College, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood has plenty of amenities within easy reach, and the city centre is a short bike ride away.

The neighbourhood is going downhill because there are people who don't integrate, throw rubbish down. I've lived here for 12 years, always with great pleasure, but the last 3 years it's been going downhill, a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived in this neighbourhood for 18 years. I feel safe. I can have a chat with the neighbours. You can play outside safely. There's also plenty of space to play outside. Many different people live here, which makes the neighbourhood cosier and livelier. The city is nearby. And in and around the neighbourhood itself there are many amenities. They are all easily accessible, whether by car, bike, public transport or on foot. And there are many different types of houses in my neighbourhood so there is something for everyone. There are many schools in the area. Secondary and primary. Not all schools are equally good, but there are plenty of options. The neighbourhood is generally quite clean, there isn't a lot of litter. However, you have to watch out for dog poo, which isn't always pleasant. One point for improvement I could mention is that apart from gardens, there is little greenery/nature. I find that a shame.
