Student Room Pythagoraslaan, Utrecht - For Rent

This listing concerns a furnished-free single room of 15 m² on the third floor of the De Sterren student complex on Pythagoraslaan in Utrecht. The room is part of a shared living arrangement with 10 housemates, with communal facilities shared among residents. The complex consists of eleven star-shaped buildings and is home to hundreds of students, including many international residents. The buildings were originally constructed as the provincial government offices of Utrecht and were converted into student housing by SSH in 2013, an early example of this type of transformation in the Netherlands.\n\nThe location of De Sterren is in a green park setting on the outskirts of Utrecht. Although the complex lies somewhat outside the city centre, a cycle tunnel under the Waterlinieweg provides a direct connection, making the city centre reachable by bike in approximately ten minutes. Utrecht Science Park can be reached within five minutes by bicycle, and buses serving both the city centre and the Science Park stop directly in front of the entrance. The surrounding park offers space for walking and outdoor exercise, with fitness equipment available in the area.\n\nThe complex offers several communal amenities, including an inner courtyard with designated BBQ spots, where residents can spend time outdoors. Bicycle parking is available in a shared bicycle shed. The complex is equipped with CCTV surveillance for security. There is no elevator in the building, and the room is located on the third floor. Parking is not included; the parking spaces at De Sterren are private and rented out by the owner of the grounds, De Waal Beheer, and parking on Pythagoraslaan itself is not permitted, although loading and unloading is allowed. Interested parties can contact De Waal directly regarding parking options.\n\nThe accommodation is offered under a campus contract, which means it is reserved for students and doctoral candidates. Proof of enrolment or upcoming enrolment in a study programme is required before a rental contract can be issued. There is no preference regarding the gender of the resident, while smoking and keeping pets are not permitted. The gross monthly rent is €599.55, consisting of net rent of €480.39 and service costs of €119.16. The service costs cover internet and WiFi, electricity and water, heating, cleaning of the common areas, and various communal services. A TV connection is available in the complex but is not included in the service costs.
