Tigrisdreef is rapidly shedding its post-war reputation to become a strategic hotspot for those priced out of Utrecht’s historical center. The market is currently defined by a sharp squeeze in mid-tier supply, exacerbated by recent sustainability mandates that have slowed the turnover of older housing stock. Our verdict: Tigrisdreef is a high-conviction 'buy' for long-term capital growth, particularly as urban renewal projects continue to bridge the gap between Overvecht and the city core.
