Oud Hoograven-Zuid, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s terraced house on Verlengde Hoogravenseweg has a warm, lived-in feel. With 84 m² of living space and a 136 m² plot, it's a proper family home in a part of Utrecht that feels a world away from the city centre. The rent of €2,595 is on the high side, 60% above the neighbourhood average, but you're getting a house that's 27% bigger than the typical rental in the area. For context, that's a premium you'd expect for a home of this size and type; terraced houses in Utrecht in this price bracket are rare.
Oud Hoograven-Zuid is a calm, residential neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Two-thirds of the homes are single-family houses, and the streets are lined with mature trees. The one resident review sums it up as 'Fine', nothing flashy, but solid and pleasant. It's a place where people know their neighbours, and the mix of families and older residents gives it a settled, unhurried pace. The neighbourhood Oud Hoograven-Zuid has a lower crime rate than many Utrecht districts, and the park is just a couple of streets away.
Your morning routine is sorted: Albert Heijn is just around the corner for fresh bread and groceries, and there are two primary schools within a five-minute walk, Da Costa Basisschool Hoograven and KBS Ariëns. For a wider choice, PLUS and Lidl are a ten-minute walk away. The municipality Utrecht has excellent secondary schools, though the nearest is a bit further out. The train station is a ten-minute walk, so commuting to the city centre or beyond is straightforward.
