Room Cambridgelaan, Utrecht Science Park - For Rent

This listing concerns a student room of 17 m² on the ninth floor of the Cambridgelaan in Utrecht. The room is part of a shared bridge apartment with a balcony, occupied by six housemates in a mixed student household aged 19 to 25, most of whom are senior students. There is no gender preference for the new resident. The apartment overlooks the forest of Rhijnauwen, and the balcony provides additional outdoor space for the shared household. The only fixed arrangement within the house is a cleaning schedule, while cooking together, study sessions and social evenings take place on an informal basis.

The Cambridgelaan is situated on the Utrecht Science Park, close to Utrecht University, the university of applied sciences, a supermarket, a hairdresser, a gym and several cafés. The city centre of Utrecht can be reached by bicycle in approximately fifteen minutes. The complex consists of several high-rise flats with dozens of floors that are connected to one another by bridges, giving the building the appearance of a large gateway. It is the only location on the Utrecht Science Park where parking is free; a parking permit must be applied for through the landlord, subject to a waiting list. Bicycle storage areas, accessible with a personal key, and outdoor bicycle racks are available on the complex grounds.

The complex offers several shared facilities, including its own bar, the Cambridgebar, where activities are regularly organised and residents have the opportunity to meet other tenants, including many international residents. On the nearby Alpenweide field, barbecues are regularly organised during suitable weather. The monthly service costs cover electricity for the room, water, heating, internet and WiFi, cleaning of the common areas, waste collection and various maintenance contributions. A TV signal is not included. The building has camera surveillance but no elevator, and smoking and pets are not permitted. Bicycles may only be placed in the designated racks and storage areas.

The rental contract is a campus contract, which means the room can only be let to students or PhD candidates; proof of current or upcoming study enrolment must be provided, as this condition is explicitly included in the rental contract. The net rent amounts to €550.19 per month, with service costs of €137.00, resulting in a gross rent of €687.19 per month. Depending on personal circumstances, tenants may be eligible for housing allowance, which can reduce the effective monthly cost to €358.19 at the maximum allowance of €329.00. The combination of an on-campus location, a balcony with green views and extensive shared facilities makes this room suitable for students seeking accommodation close to their studies.
