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 Bollenhofsestraat 9BS, Utrecht
The asking price of €395,000 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €601,125, but the home is also 32% smaller than the average (61 m² vs 90 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €6,475, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €6,865. Given the compact size and the need for potential updates, the price appears keen for the area.
The home has energy label B, which is good. In the neighbourhood, 34.9% of homes have label A, 4.7% label B, and 34.9% label C. Label B means the home is reasonably efficient, so heating costs should be moderate. You won't need major insulation upgrades, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home.
Wittevrouwen has a mix of residents, but only 740 households with children out of 3,006 total. The area is popular with students and young professionals, and the one resident review mentions noise and rubbish as issues. There are primary schools within walking distance, but the neighbourhood may not be the quietest for families with young children.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. The city centre of Utrecht is easily reachable by bike or bus.
In the neighbourhood, sold homes took an average of 41 days to sell. That's a fairly typical timeframe for an urban area. The current listing has 36 homes for sale, so there is some choice for buyers.
The home was built in 1920, so it has character but may need updates. The energy label B suggests some modernisation has been done, but you should expect older features like single glazing or an older kitchen. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so a viewing is essential to assess the condition.
There is no mention of a balcony or roof terrace.
The neighbourhood recorded 316 total crimes, which is moderate for a dense urban area. The resident review mentions graffiti and rubbish, but no specific safety concerns. It's always a good idea to check recent crime statistics and visit at different times of day.
