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 Oude Kerkstraat 28BS, Utrecht
At €145,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Wittevrouwen and 76% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €601,125. However, the apartment has an energy label F and is smaller than average (62 m² vs 90 m²). The low price reflects the need for significant investment in energy efficiency and likely modernisation.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In Wittevrouwen, most homes for sale have better labels: 34.9% have label A, 4.7% label B, and 34.9% label C. Only 25.6% have label D or lower. An F label means high energy costs and likely poor insulation, so you should budget for substantial improvements.
Wittevrouwen is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It has a mix of students and professionals, but one resident gives it a low score of 2.13, citing poor maintenance, rubbish, and a lack of social cohesion. The area has few families with children and many single-person households.
Albert Heijn is 350 metres away, Jumbo 411 metres, and there are several primary schools within a few hundred metres. A park or public garden is 300 metres away, and a restaurant is just 200 metres from the apartment. The train station is 2.1 km away.
At 62 m², this apartment is 31% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 90 m². It's a compact living space, typical of older buildings in the area, 95.3% of homes in Wittevrouwen were built before 1945.
The low purchase price could offer potential for value appreciation after renovations, especially given the neighbourhood's high average prices. However, the poor energy label and small size may limit rental demand. The area has a high proportion of students, which could be a target market.
