Room Burgemeester Fockema Andreaeplein 408, Utrecht - For Rent

This room is located in the BAOBAB building on the De Kwekerij site in Utrecht-Oost, a residential complex that opened in 2024. The room measures 12 square meters and is situated on the fifth floor. The building spans three floors and offers a shared study space and a communal living room where residents can relax or study. The room is part of a shared apartment with four residents, who share a spacious living room and a balcony with views over the city.

The location is highly practical: BAOBAB sits exactly between Utrecht's city center and Utrecht Science Park, making it convenient for both study and leisure. The building is located a short walk from the nearby IBB student complex. The De Kwekerij area is still under development, with a residential tower planned on the site in the coming years, which means some noise disturbance and dust may occur. Despite this, the location offers a central position with good connections to both the university area and downtown amenities.

The complex is equipped with an elevator and features an indoor bicycle storage facility. Camera surveillance is present in the building. Internet is available exclusively via WiFi, as a wired connection is not possible, and a TV signal is available. The doors are fitted with digital iLOQ locks, which means a smartphone with NFC is required to open them; residents also receive regular keys for their room and mailbox. Parking is not possible or permitted in or around the building, and no parking permit can be obtained through the municipality.

The room is rented under a campus contract, which means it is available exclusively to students or PhD candidates, a condition that is explicitly included in the rental agreement. The monthly costs consist of a net rent of €498.20 and service costs of €144.91, resulting in a gross rent of €643.11. The service costs include utilities such as electricity, water, heating, and internet, as well as maintenance and cleaning of the common areas. Smoking is not allowed and pets are not permitted. The residents prefer a male housemate who is finishing their studies or beginning work and who wishes to contribute to the shared living environment.
