Student Room Van Lieflandlaan, Utrecht - For Rent

This room of 15 m² is located on the eighteenth floor of a high-rise flat in the Tuindorp-West Complex (TWC) in Utrecht. The room is part of a household of ten residents, five men and five women, who share the common areas of the apartment. The household consists of students in different phases of their studies, some of whom are active in study, sports, or student associations. Residents cook together, organize house evenings, and occasionally plan joint activities or weekends away. In line with the current composition of the household, this room is offered to a male candidate. Smoking and keeping pets are not permitted.

The net rent is €562.45 per month, with service costs of €107.03, bringing the gross rent to €669.48. The service costs cover internet (WiFi), electricity, water, heating, hot water, cleaning of the common areas, and several additional services such as waste levies and sewage charges. As the rent falls within the eligible range, tenants may qualify for Dutch housing benefit (huurtoeslag), with a maximum subsidy of €337.00, potentially reducing the monthly cost to €332.48. The room is subject to a campus contract, which means it can only be rented by students or PhD candidates, and proof of enrollment is required as part of the agreement.

The Tuindorp-West Complex comprises eight buildings spread across four streets: Van Lieflandlaan, Gisbert Bromlaan, Frits Coerslaan, and Willem Schuylenburglaan, and houses more than 1,200 students. The flats date from the 1970s. On the complex grounds, residents will find a communal vegetable garden, a basketball and volleyball field, and bicycle storage facilities located both inside and outside the flats. The building has no elevator. Parking is available with a permit from the municipality, and paid parking applies on the complex from Monday to Saturday between 09:00 and 21:00. CCTV surveillance is present throughout the complex, and a WiFi connection is included in the room, while a TV signal is not.

The complex is located near Utrecht Overvecht station, with the city center reachable within roughly ten minutes by bicycle and Utrecht Science Park in under twenty minutes. An active residents' board organizes weekly gatherings for those living in the complex. The high-rise flats of the Tuindorp-West Complex are being renovated from November 2024 until autumn 2027, which may cause noise disturbance during this period. Applicants for a room at Van Lieflandlaan (Yellow Flat) may be placed in the recently renovated Blue Flat instead, and the rent in the Blue Flat may differ from the price listed for this room. Further details about the renovation are available through the housing corporation.
