Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Wittevrouwensingel sits in a neighbourhood that feels like a village within Utrecht, yet the city centre is just a couple of streets away. Built in 2002, it offers 86 m² of living space with an energy label B, efficient and comfortable. The asking price of €625,000 is in line with the market, matching the median for apartments in Utrecht.
Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban area with a mix of students, young professionals and families. One resident describes it as "a fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing", pointing to poor maintenance, litter and student nuisance. They note that "social housing is only 6 percent, deliberately sold off" and that "there is no cohesion". Based on one review, this is a candid perspective on the neighbourhood Wittevrouwen. The area has a very high density of addresses and a young population, with many single-person households.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Koorschool Utrecht and Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen. For secondary education, School aan de Singel is a couple of streets away. The municipality Utrecht offers a wide range of amenities, with a park and a restaurant on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Brecheisen Makelaars Utrecht B.V. and is available through several channels.

Wittevrouwensingel 85E, 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.
