Studio Burgemeester Fockema Andreaeplein 431, Utrecht - For Rent

This self-contained studio of approximately 22 m² is located on the sixth floor of the BAOBAB building at Burgemeester Fockema Andreaeplein 431 in Utrecht-Oost. The building opened in the autumn of 2024 on the terrain of De Kwekerij, a developing area in the east of Utrecht. The residence offers an independent living space suitable for one person, combining private living quarters with access to shared facilities. Across three floors of the building, residents can use a study area or a communal lounge where they can relax or work. The layout is compact and efficient, designed to make optimal use of the available surface area.

The location is one of the main practical advantages of this property. The BAOBAB building is situated between the city center of Utrecht and Utrecht Science Park, making it convenient for both study and leisure. It is only a stone's throw away from the nearby IBB student complex, placing residents close to other students. The surrounding De Kwekerij area is under development, and construction of an additional residential tower is planned on the terrain, which may involve some construction activity in the immediate vicinity. The university buildings of Utrecht Science Park and the historic city center are both easily reachable by bicycle or public transport.

The building offers several amenities that support comfortable everyday living. An elevator provides access to the upper floors, including the sixth floor where this studio is located. There is an indoor bicycle storage facility, which is practical in a city where cycling is the most common mode of transport. The complex is equipped with camera surveillance, and wireless internet is available throughout the building, although wired internet is not possible. A TV signal is available in the unit. The doors in the complex use digital iLOQ keys, which require a smartphone with NFC; traditional physical keys for the home and mailbox are also provided. Parking is not possible or permitted in or around the building, and no parking permit is available through the municipality.

The rental conditions follow a campus contract, which means the property can only be rented by students or PhD candidates; this requirement is explicitly included in the rental agreement. The net rent is €713.02 per month, with service costs of €131.35, which cover items such as cleaning of common areas, internet, electricity, water, heating, and a caretaker service, bringing the gross rent to €844.37. A maximum rent allowance (huurtoeslag) of €435.00 may apply, which can reduce the effective monthly rent to €409.37 for those who qualify. This combination of a recently completed building, a central location between the city center and the Science Park, and inclusive service costs makes the studio a practical option for students seeking independent housing in Utrecht.
