Historical living in Utrecht East
In Utrecht East are the districts of Tuindorp East, Tuinwijk, Oudwijk, Voordorp and Rijnsweerd. As a rental agent in Utrecht, we are of course active in all these districts. Around the Maliebaan and Wilhelminapark are stately mansions. This part of Utrecht has a long history and still has its appeal to the notables in the city. Even our archbishop lives here. But because the Uithof, Utrecht's university centre, is nearby, many students live here as well. And many of them stay in this neighbourhood after their studies, creating a nice mix of young and old. There are few terraced houses here and each one has its own character and history. The Uithof is also home to the Utrecht Science Park. The reason why expats look for houses in Utrecht East.
Utrecht West at a stone's throw from the centre
With the A2 as its exit road, Utrecht West is easily accessible. The residents are woken up every morning by the smell of fresh coffee from the roasting houses of Jacobs Douwe Egberts. The Jaarbeurs is also located here, on the west side of Central Station. It is trendy living in Lombok, where different cultures integrate. Kanaalstraat resembles an oriental market, where merchants display their exotic goods all over the pavement. There are many single-family houses, upstairs flats and downstairs flats, many with gardens. It is wonderful living here, close to the centre. In Oog in Al, there are somewhat larger houses, often with front and back gardens. But we also regularly offer flats for rent along the former Utrecht ring road. There is also an International school in the area, which is why expat families like to find a home in this area.
The versatile Utrecht South
The Hoograven district in Utrecht Zuid used to be part of Jutphaas, which is still a district in Nieuwegein. This can still be seen on the manhole covers and the numbering of the houses. All streets in Utrecht start with house numbering from the Dom. Except in Hoograven, where it is the other way round. The districts where we mediate as a rental agent in Utrecht are Hoograven, Rivierenwijk and Lunetten. They are close to the A2, A12 and A27 motorways. A good base for tenants who travel by car. Partly because a parking space can still be found in these neighbourhoods. The houses in Lunetten were built between 1980 and 1990. In Hoograven and Rivierenwijk, however, there are many 1930s homes. Residents here are close to Tolsteeg and, via Twijnstraat and Oudegracht, they can walk straight into the centre of Utrecht. Recently, there was also a train station here, Vaartsche Rijn station. And in Rivierenwijk, along the Merwede, there are spacious houseboats.
Historic working class houses in Utrecht Noord
Zuilen used to be a separate municipality. The old town hall still exists and has long been a beautiful wedding location along the river Vecht. Nowadays, Zuilen is a district of Utrecht and has a rich history. The Demka factories were surrounded by workers' housing. The Demka is no more, but the houses are now a protected cityscape. And sometimes we have them for rent. The Werkspoor cathedral is also in the south. This is where work, learning and relaxation meet. In Overvecht, there are many high-rise buildings. Utrecht Noord is easily accessible via the Zuilense Ring, the A2 and A27 motorways.
