Room Opaalweg 246, Utrecht - For Rent

This room of approximately 15 square meters is located on the eighth floor of De Opaal, a student complex on the corner of Opaalweg and Waterlinieweg in Utrecht. Each room in the building has its own private bathroom, so the toilet and shower do not have to be shared with other residents. Residents share a communal living kitchen, a space intended for cooking, eating, and relaxing together. A balcony adjoining the communal area offers an outdoor spot where residents can sit together. An elevator provides access to the upper floors of the building.

The complex offers several communal facilities for its residents. A large bicycle storage area is situated beneath the building, and a laundry room is available for washing. Internet is provided through Wi-Fi only; a wired connection is not possible in this property. A TV signal is available, and the complex is equipped with camera surveillance. There are no resident parking spaces at the complex; residents and their visitors are referred to the various paid parking options in the surrounding area. Costs for electricity, water, heating, internet in the communal areas, and cleaning of shared spaces are covered through the monthly service charges.

The location offers good connections to daily amenities and the city. Winkelcentrum Lunetten, where daily groceries can be done, is about five minutes away on foot. By bicycle, the Ledig Erf area is reachable within roughly ten minutes, and Utrecht Science Park can be reached in about a quarter of an hour. Beatrixpark lies close by, offering green space for outdoor recreation. This combination of nearby shops, urban amenities, and green areas makes the neighborhood practical for student life.

The room is offered under a campus contract, which means it can only be rented by students or PhD candidates; this condition is explicitly included in the rental agreement. Tenants must be able to demonstrate that they are currently studying or are about to start a study program, and an approved document is required before a rental contract can be issued. The complex also houses participants of the Goeie Buur program, through which SSH provides rooms to young people between 18 and 27 who are transitioning out of care. Within this program, one housemate serves as a first point of contact for these residents. Prospective tenants should take this community composition into account.
