Wittevrouwen: a neighbourhood of contrasts
The Wittevrouwen neighbourhood is a dense, urban area with a strong student presence and a mix of incomes. One resident describes it as "too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," noting that "social inequality is clearly visible here." They mention "poorly maintained streets" and "huge nuisance of students." Based on one review, this is a candid snapshot of a place that has changed, from a once-beautiful neighbourhood to what some see as a white enclave. The CBS data shows mostly small households (average 1.7 people) and a high proportion of single-person homes.
