Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Blauwkapelseweg sits in a quiet corner of Wittevrouwen, with a classic 1880s facade and a generous 123 m² of living space. The price of €695,000 is 16% above the neighbourhood average of €601,125, which is in line with the larger floor area, 37% more than the typical 90 m² in the area. For context, it's one of the apartments in Utrecht currently on the market.
Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of pre-war housing and a lively student population. One resident describes it as "a fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing," citing poorly maintained streets, litter, and noise from students. They note that social housing makes up only 6% of the stock, and that the area feels like a "white enclave of coke-sniffing egotrippers." Based on this single review, the atmosphere is clearly polarising. The neighbourhood has a very high address density of 5,360 per km², and most homes were built before 1945. For more context, see the Wittevrouwen neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Primary schools include Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen and Koorschool Utrecht. Secondary schools like School aan de Singel are also within walking distance. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden just 300 m away, and a train station is 2.1 km from the home. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Utrecht.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Nassau Makelaars B.V. and Funda.

A fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing. Poorly maintained streets. Everywhere there is vomit, glass, and rubbish. Dirty pavements, graffiti everywhere, every street suffers from a huge nuisance of students. Students overpopulate the area. No diversity, too expensive shops. Only rich white people. Social inequality is clearly visible here. 1000 metres away in Overvecht people have nothing, here in abundance. Full of snobs. Social housing is only 6 percent, deliberately sold off, all homes are being split: unliveable, too much noise, and expanded with extra floors. People earn an average of 6-10,000 per month and look like tramps. There is no cohesion, people are focused on themselves, all islands. The atmosphere is gone. It was once a beautiful neighbourhood, but yuppies, damn students and damn expats have turned it into a white enclave of coke-sniffing egotrippers.
