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 Staalstraat 67, Utrecht
The asking price of €535,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €601,125 and the median of €625,000. However, the home has an energy label D, while most homes in the area have better labels. The price per m² is about €7,039, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,865 per m². So it's priced competitively but not a bargain.
This apartment has energy label D. In Wittevrouwen, 34.9% of homes have label A, 4.7% label B, 34.9% label C, and 25.6% label D or lower. So label D is on the lower end, meaning higher energy costs to expect. Most of the available homes in the area have better energy performance.
Wittevrouwen has 740 households with children out of a total of about 3,990 households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen and Nieuwe Regentesseschool. However, the resident review mentions a lack of social cohesion and a strong student presence, which may not suit all families.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.
In the most recent data, there were 316 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. The resident review mentions "vomit, glass, and rubbish" and "graffiti everywhere," suggesting a perception of disorder. However, crime figures are not broken down by type here.
Parking is not specifically mentioned in the listing. Given the high urban density (5,360 addresses per km²), street parking is likely limited and may require a permit. You would need to check with the municipality for details.
