Dichterswijk, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1915 terraced house on Spieghelstraat has a warm, lived-in feel that comes with a home of its vintage. With 106 m² of living space and a 75 m² plot, it is noticeably roomier than the average rental in the area. The rent of €2,500 is 23% above the neighbourhood average of €2,039, so it sits on the high side, but you are paying for extra square metres. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht vary widely in price and size.
Dichterswijk is a neighbourhood in transition. One resident (TopBoy28) says: "This neighbourhood used to be a deprived area with many problems. Now a lot of new buildings have been built. But behind the walls of the houses, there are still problems. Apart from that, there are many racists living here. The neighbourhood has been nicely renovated and looks better than before." That single review gives a mixed picture: visible improvement alongside lingering social issues. The area is densely built (address density 4,309) and very urban, with many young adults and one-person households. The Dichterswijk neighbourhood has a lively, city feel.
Your daily routine is well served here. For groceries, Albert Heijn and PLUS are both just around the corner, and a Coop is a couple of streets away. For little ones, Openbare Basisschool De Kleine Dichter is a five-minute walk and KBS Gertrudis is about 472 m. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a GP and park are both on your doorstep. The municipality of Utrecht offers all the amenities you would expect from a major city.
At present the home is listed through several channels, including 123wonen Leiden, 123Wonen de Verhuurmakelaar, and 123Wonen Utrecht.
