Find your dream apartment in Nieuwegein with Luntero

Nieuwegein is a dynamic municipality in the province of Utrecht, Netherlands, characterized by its strategic location along the Lek River. Established on July 1, 1971, through the merger of the former municipalities of Jutphaas and Vreeswijk, Nieuwegein has evolved from a suburban growth area into a thriving city with a population of approximately 65,974 residents as of January 2024. The city's development was part of a broader suburbanization movement in the 1960s and 70s, where residents from larger cities sought the tranquility of surrounding municipalities. This led to a coordinated effort by the government to manage growth while preserving the natural beauty of the Green Heart region, making Nieuwegein a prime example of modern urban planning in the Netherlands.
