Tuindorp-Oost, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1967 terraced house on Kernkampplantsoen 4 is a proper family home with 150 m² of living space, 69% more than the average in the neighbourhood. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient, though not the newest. At €749,000 it's the most expensive of the 20 homes currently for sale in the area, and 60% above the average asking price of €469,550, so it's on the high side. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht vary widely, but this one stands out for its size.
Tuindorp-Oost is a quiet, green pocket of Utrecht with a village feel. One resident describes it as "a nice quiet neighbourhood to live in" with "some green spaces and playgrounds for children." They note that "the area is quiet yet still in the city; within 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre." The neighbourhood Tuindorp-Oost has a mix of ages, with many 25-45 year olds and a fair share of over-65s. Most homes are owner-occupied, and the area feels settled.
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Basisschool de Beiaard and pcbs De Regenboog. The Gerrit Rietveld College for secondary education is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Utrecht is well served by bike routes and the train station is about a ten-minute walk, though the resident mentions the bus 4 can be unreliable.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Makelaarsland and also appears on Huispedia, so it's available through several channels. The asking price reflects its size and location, but it's worth noting that it's the priciest option in the neighbourhood right now.

Kernkampplantsoen 4, Utrecht

It's a nice quiet neighbourhood to live in. Here and there some green spaces and playgrounds for children. There's a large supermarket in the area with a shopping centre around it that also has a chemist etc. There are 2 schools in the area, one of which has a less strong reputation, which already limits the choice. The area is easily accessible by car and bike, although the Zuilense ring sometimes gets congested. The bus connection is less good; the 55 goes past the area and the 4 goes through the area. Unfortunately, the 4 is not a reliable bus and if it doesn't come, you can wait half an hour for the next one. Sometimes there is still some rubbish on the street, especially around De Gaard. The large waste containers there really look a mess and have a lot of rubbish lying next to them. My neighbours are friendly. The area is quiet yet still in the city; within 10 minutes by bike you're in the city centre and within a few minutes by car you're on the motorway.
