A compact flat in Wittevrouwen
This 1880 apartment on Blauwkapelseweg sits in a neighbourhood that feels like a world apart. With an energy label A, it's surprisingly efficient for its age. At €450,000, the price was 25% below the neighbourhood average of €601,125, a keen entry point for apartments in Utrecht, especially given the smaller 65 m² floor area. This home has not been online since 7 July 2026.
The neighbourhood: Wittevrouwen
Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban pocket with 6,730 residents and a very high address density (5,360 per km²). One resident sums it up bluntly: "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," adding that "there is no cohesion, people are focused on themselves." The review notes poor street maintenance, litter, and student nuisance. Social housing makes up just 6% of the stock, and the average household income is high. It's a place of contrasts, close to the city centre but with a frayed social fabric. Read more about neighbourhood Wittevrouwen.
