Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a house number, postcode, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €520 a month, the rent is 75% below the neighbourhood average of €2,068, but that's for a room, not a whole home. For context, the average room in Utrecht goes for around €590, so this is keenly priced. Check out other rooms in Utrecht to compare.
Wittevrouwen has a mixed reputation. Based on one review, a resident calls it "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," adding: "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." The neighbourhood is densely populated with 5,360 addresses per km², and most homes are single-family (56%). Many residents live alone (2,405 one-person households), and the average household size is just 1.7. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Wittevrouwen page.
For daily groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are also several schools nearby: School aan de Singel (secondary) is on your doorstep, and Koorschool Utrecht (primary) is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a park or garden within a couple of streets away. For more on the wider area, see the municipality Utrecht page.

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.
