Studio Cambridgelaan, Utrecht Science Park - For Rent

This independent housing unit is located in the Cambridgelaan at Utrecht Science Park, an area close to Utrecht University, the Hogeschool Utrecht, a supermarket, a hairdresser, a gym and several cafés. The city centre of Utrecht can be reached in approximately fifteen minutes by bicycle. The Cambridgelaan complex is a distinctive landmark in the area, consisting of several residential towers with tens of floors that are connected to one another by bridges, giving the building the appearance of a large gateway. Its location makes the unit particularly suitable for students and PhD candidates who want to live close to their study or workplace.

The unit is a self-contained dwelling of 26 m² situated on the ground floor. The net rent is €603.32 per month, with service costs of €98.31, resulting in a gross rent of €701.63 per month. The service costs cover items such as heating, water, electricity in the communal areas, internet, cleaning of common spaces and general maintenance. Depending on personal circumstances, tenants may be eligible for rent allowance, which can amount to a maximum of €363.00 per month, reducing the monthly payment to €338.63. The rental contract is a campus contract, meaning the home can only be rented by students or PhD candidates, and proof of study enrolment must be provided before a rental agreement can be signed.

The Cambridgelaan complex offers several practical facilities for its residents. It is the only location within Utrecht Science Park where free parking is available, although a parking permit must be applied for through the landlord and a waiting list applies. For bicycles, there are covered bicycle sheds that can be accessed with a personal key, as well as bicycle racks on the outdoor grounds; bicycles may only be placed in these designated areas. The complex is equipped with camera surveillance for added security. The building does not have an elevator.

Community life at the Cambridgelaan is supported by shared facilities and activities. The complex has its own bar, the Cambridgebar, where events are regularly organized and residents, including many international tenants, have the opportunity to meet one another. During warmer months, barbecues are regularly held at the Alpenweide, a shared outdoor area of the complex. Internet and Wi-Fi are included in the service costs, while a TV signal is not provided. This combination of an independent dwelling, on-site facilities and a central position within Utrecht Science Park makes the unit a practical option for students seeking housing in Utrecht.
