Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1880s terraced house on Bollenhofsestraat sits in Wittevrouwen, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within the city. With 68 m² over three floors and a small garden, it's compact but full of character. The asking price of €635,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €601,125, but that reflects the scarcity of this type of home: terraced houses in Utrecht are always in demand.
Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban area with a mix of students, young professionals and families. One resident describes it as "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," noting that "every street suffers from a huge nuisance of students" and that "social housing is only 6 percent." The same review mentions "poorly maintained streets" and "vomit, glass, and rubbish." Based on this single review, the neighbourhood scores 2.13 out of 5. CBS data shows a very high population density (5,360 addresses per km²) and a young demographic: 37% of residents are between 25 and 45. The neighbourhood Wittevrouwen is undeniably lively, but not to everyone's taste.
For your morning bread, Jumbo and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen and Koorschool Utrecht. Secondary schools like School aan de Singel are also close by. The municipality Utrecht offers everything you'd expect from a major city, but the immediate area is very much student-oriented.
At the time of writing the home is listed via BURGERSDIJK MAKELAARS and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Bollenhofsestraat 5, 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.
