Renting in Leidsche Rijn Utrecht
Finding a home as a young professional in the municipality of Utrecht has become quite a challenge. You’re often dependent on expensive estate agents, offered rental homes at far too high a price, or steered toward family houses with an arbitrary number of bedrooms or apartments located on the outer edges of the city. There is a shortage of affordable rental housing, and living in or around Utrecht at an acceptable price seems almost impossible.
Change= Utrecht has good news!
Almost impossible because Change= is changing that! We are pleased to announce that around April 2022 more than 600 rental homes will be completed and let in Utrecht’s Leidsche Rijn. Construction of our residential complex in Leidsche Rijn is nearly finished, and we’re proud to say you’ll get more than just a rental home.
Living at Change= Utrecht
Living at Change= is about more than just a place to live. We offer beautiful, new and modern studio apartments in a green and peaceful setting, and community life is central to our concept. This is reflected not only in the architecture of our complex, but also in the many communal areas and courtyards. Within our complex you’ll also find Change= facilities for both exercise and relaxation.
Our concept
Change= Utrecht offers a modern, flexible living concept with high-quality studio homes and the newest rental apartments, complemented by a range of services to provide residents with total living comfort. Community is at the heart of what we do: you’ll see it in the facilities we provide and in the programmes, workshops and other activities we organise together with residents.
Want to become part of the Change= community? Our concept is designed for working, ambitious and creative young people between 18 and 35 years old. We call our concept Networked Living: fitting for our time, service-oriented, sustainable, connected and innovative—with community life at its core.
Living in Utrecht’s Leidsche Rijn
Leidsche Rijn is a district of Utrecht known for its green surroundings and the modern architecture of its homes. You’ll find all types of housing here—from contemporary residential complexes to beautifully designed detached and family houses. In addition to its abundant greenery and modern buildings, Leidsche Rijn stands out for its convenient accessibility by car and public transport, putting you within no time of the centres of Utrecht or even Amsterdam.
In the city centre within five minutes
The Utrecht ring road or the centrally located train station will take you to Utrecht’s city centre within five minutes. Thanks to the wide boulevards, you can also reach the neighbouring streets and other parts of the city in no time. Of course, Leidsche Rijn itself also has a lively, well-equipped shopping centre nearby. In the Leidsche Rijn Centre you’ll find charming boutiques, a variety of shops, cafés and restaurants, and everything you need for your daily groceries.
Our location and accessibility
All our locations in Utrecht and Amsterdam (we also offer rental housing in Amsterdam) are easy to reach by car and public transport. Because our complexes are built in new residential districts with central locations, you’ll always live within walking distance of public transport and near a shopping centre. Our rental homes are also easy to reach by car, motorbike or bicycle.
Parking in Utrecht
Parking has been well thought out. Whether you own a car, motorbike, scooter or bicycle, at all our locations you can rent a parking space for your car or motorbike, and make use of the free, supervised bicycle storage.
Our apartments in Utrecht

Change= also offers extra storage units for rent. Each complex has on-site storage rooms that residents can rent for a small monthly fee.
Our atelier homes
What makes this complex truly special is its focus on creative professionals as well as working young people with no fewer than 39 spacious atelier homes. A unique concept for unique creatives! Not only can you comfortably work from home or even set up your residence as a business space by dividing the area into separate rooms but you also save on renting both a home and a separate studio.
