The Wittevrouwen neighbourhood
The Wittevrouwen neighbourhood is a dense, urban area with a very strong address density. Based on one review, the picture is critical: the reviewer calls it "too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood" and describes poorly maintained streets, litter, graffiti and student nuisance. The same review notes a lack of social cohesion and visible social inequality. The CBS figures show a young population, with 37% aged 25 to 45 and 60% single-person households. It is a lively, busy part of Utrecht, but the single review suggests it is not to everyone's taste.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Jumbo is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. A primary school, the Koorschool Utrecht, is a five-minute walk, while the Nieuwe Regentesseschool is. Secondary education is available at the School aan de Singel, about 109 metres away. A park or green space is a short stroll, and the train station is 2.1 kilometres away. This is a well-served street within the municipality of Utrecht.
