Room Cambridgelaan, Utrecht Science Park - For Rent

This room of 19 m² is located on the first floor of the Cambridgelaan, a large student complex at the Utrecht Science Park in Utrecht. The room is rented out with two housemates, with whom the kitchen and other shared spaces are used together. The Cambridgelaan is a distinctive building, designed as a giant gateway consisting of several towers of tens of floors that are connected to each other by bridges. The complex is managed by SSH and functions as a campus location, offering a range of communal facilities for its residents.

The complex itself offers various amenities for daily life and social contact. The building has its own bar, the Cambridgebar, where activities are regularly organized and residents can meet other Dutch and international tenants. During warmer months, barbecues are regularly held on the Alpenweide, the communal green area of the complex. For bicycles, there are locked bicycle sheds accessible with a personal key, as well as bicycle racks on the outdoor grounds. Parking is available with a permit arranged through SSH; the Cambridgelaan is the only location at Utrecht Science Park where parking is free of charge, although there is a waiting list for permits. The complex has camera surveillance in the building, but no elevator.

The location at the Utrecht Science Park places the room within short distance of the university, the university of applied sciences, a supermarket, a hairdresser, a gym, and cafés. The city center of Utrecht is approximately fifteen minutes away by bicycle. The Science Park is an active area with many students and staff during the day, which makes the surroundings practical for studying and daily groceries. Public transport connections and campus facilities are all within cycling distance or walking distance.
