Utrecht is a province of the Netherlands, situated in the centre of the country. It shares borders with the provinces of Flevoland, Gelderland, South Holland, and North Holland. The terrain of this landlocked region is generally low-lying, rising to its highest point at the Amerongse Berg.
The province is a relatively expensive part of the Netherlands to buy a home. The city of Utrecht holds far more of the housing stock than any other municipality, followed by Amersfoort and Veenendaal. Prices vary significantly across these urban centres, with the city of Utrecht and Veenendaal sitting below the regional average, while Amersfoort sits close to it. The most expensive properties are found in smaller municipalities like De Bilt and De Ronde Venen, where home prices are much higher than in the major cities.
