Vleuten-De Meern

Vleuten-De Meern forms Utrecht's western edge, a sprawling new-build district of just over 51,000 residents across twelve neighbourhoods such as Vleuterweide and De Meern. Its scores rank among the highest in this set: housing and overall both 9.2, social life 8.8. Amenities lag a little at 6.9, the inevitable cost of a spacious, car-oriented layout. In almost every other respect this is family territory through and through.
