Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Griftstraat sits in Wittevrouwen, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within Utrecht. With 139 m² of living space, it is 54% larger than the average home in the area, a rare find. The 1920 building has energy label C, which is typical for its era. At €650,000, the price is in line with the market, given the size and location. For context, the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €6,865, and this home works out to about €4,676 per m². Compare that to other apartments in Utrecht.
Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban area with a mix of students, families, and professionals. One resident describes it as "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," noting that "everywhere there is vomit, glass, and rubbish" and that "students overpopulate the area." The same review mentions that "social housing is only 6 percent" and that "there is no cohesion." Based on one review, the picture is critical. CBS data shows that 61% of homes are owner-occupied, and the area is very strongly urban (5,360 addresses per km²). Many residents live alone (2,405 one-person households), and the average household size is 1.7. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Wittevrouwen.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There is also an Ekoplaza within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, the Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen is a five-minute walk, and the School aan de Singel (for secondary education) is similarly close. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality Utrecht offers all the amenities you would expect from a city.

Griftstraat 7BS, Utrecht
Mediocre · 1 resident
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.

About Griftstraat 7BS, Utrecht
The asking price of €650,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €625,000 and the average sold price of €614,545. Given that this apartment is 139 m², 54% larger than the average 90 m² in Wittevrouwen, the price per m² is about €4,676, well below the neighbourhood average of €6,865 per m². So it appears reasonably priced for its size.
The energy label is C. This is a common label for a 1920s building. It means the home has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme. In the neighbourhood, about 35% of homes have label C, and 35% have label A, so this is typical.
Wittevrouwen is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It has a mix of students and professionals, but one resident describes it negatively: 'a fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing' with 'poorly maintained streets' and 'huge nuisance of students.' The review also notes a lack of diversity and social cohesion. However, it is close to the city centre and has good amenities.
You have several supermarkets within walking distance: Jumbo at 434 m, Albert Heijn at 441 m, and Ekoplaza at 772 m. For primary education, the Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen is 432 m away, and secondary schools like School aan de Singel are 414 m away. A park is 0.3 km away, and restaurants are 0.2 km away. The train station is 2.1 km away.
At 139 m², this apartment is 54% larger than the average home in Wittevrouwen, which is 90 m². That makes it a spacious option in a neighbourhood where most homes are smaller. The average price per m² in the area is €6,865, so this home offers more space for your money.
This is an apartment built in 1920, so it has the character of an early 20th-century building. In the neighbourhood, 95% of homes were built before 1945, so this is very typical. The building likely has high ceilings and original features, but may need some modernisation.
