Room Cambridgelaan, Utrecht - For Rent

This listing concerns a room of approximately 18 m² located on the third floor of the Cambridgelaan in Utrecht. The room is part of a student complex and is rented in combination with three housemates. The Cambridgelaan is a striking building on the Utrecht Science Park, designed as a large gate consisting of several towers with tens of floors that are connected by bridges. The room is offered under a campus contract, which means it is intended specifically for students and PhD candidates.

The location on the Utrecht Science Park places the room in direct proximity to Utrecht University, the university of applied sciences, a supermarket, a hairdresser, a gym and several cafés. The city center of Utrecht can be reached by bicycle in approximately fifteen minutes. The Cambridgelaan is the only location on the Science Park where free parking is still available, although a parking permit must be requested through the landlord and a waiting list applies. For bicycles, the complex offers closed storage facilities accessible with a personal key, as well as outdoor bike racks on the premises.

The complex has its own bar, the Cambridgebar, where regular activities are organized and residents have the opportunity to meet other, often international, tenants. During suitable weather, barbecues are regularly organized on the Alpenweide, a shared outdoor area. The service costs cover internet, WiFi, electricity, water and heating, as well as cleaning and maintenance of the common areas. The building has no elevator, but camera surveillance is present throughout the complex.

A campus contract applies to this room, and it is explicitly stated in the rental agreement that occupancy is only possible for students or PhD candidates. Proof of enrollment or an upcoming study start must be provided before a rental contract can be issued. There is no gender preference for the housemates, while smoking and pets are not permitted. Rent allowance (huurtoeslag) may be applicable for this room, with a maximum allowance of €362.00 per month, which can substantially reduce the effective monthly housing costs. Prospective tenants are advised to verify their eligibility for rent allowance with the relevant authorities.
