A quiet spot in the Vesten
This terraced house sits on a quiet road in the Vesten, a residential pocket of Nieuwegein where the streets are calm and the pace is easy. Built in 1980, the home has a lived-in feel that comes with a neighbourhood that has grown up around it. The asking price is €425,000. For a sense of what this price buys across the wider market, it helps to look at [terraced houses in Nieuwegein]( /koopwoningen/nieuwegein/tussenwoningen/ ).
Inside the home
The house offers five rooms spread over three floors, with four bedrooms and one bathroom. The living area is 109 m², matching the BAG registration, and the plot is 125 m². The garden, which faces east and is accessible via the back alley, measures 60 m², and there is also a front garden. The home is fully owned, has district heating, and the agent notes that most of the glazing is double. The energy label is C, which is not the most efficient label, so heating costs will be something to factor in.
Life in the Vesten
The Vesten is a small neighbourhood with about 1,740 residents, and it has a mix of households, with 43% of them having children. Residents across the municipality of Nieuwegein give their living environment an average score of 7.11, based on 18 reviews. One resident says: "I think it's a nice living environment. It's just a shame that only high-rise flats are being built. And that they are unaffordable for first-time buyers." Another adds: "We will have been living here with pleasure for 40 years next year. So that says something. Only parking is sometimes a problem. Otherwise, most amenities in the neighbourhood." These are municipal-level views, so they reflect the wider town rather than this street specifically. The neighbourhood itself has a calm, residential character, and it is part of [the Vesten neighbourhood]( /buurt/vesten-nieuwegein/ ).
