Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1920s terraced house on Griftstraat sits in Wittevrouwen, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within the city. With 116 m² of living space, it's a good 29% larger than the average home in the area. At €675,000, the asking price is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €625,000, which is understandable given the extra space. For context, terraced houses in Utrecht vary widely, but this one is priced keenly for its size.
Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 5,300 addresses per km². It's popular with students and young professionals, nearly 40% of residents are between 25 and 45. But the one review we have is scathing: "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," says a resident, adding that "everywhere there is vomit, glass, and rubbish" and that students cause a huge nuisance. The same reviewer calls it "a fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing." It's a harsh verdict, but it's the only one. The neighbourhood Wittevrouwen page has more data.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are three primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen, Basisschool De Wissel, and KBS Montessori Buiten Wittevrouwen. A secondary school is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Utrecht offers plenty more, but these are the closest.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Beumer and also appears on Funda. The agent has provided full details including floor area, energy label C, and year of construction.

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 Griftstraat 99, Utrecht
The asking price is €675,000, which is about 8% above the neighbourhood median of €625,000. However, this home is 116 m², while the average sold home in Wittevrouwen is 90 m². Per square metre, the price is roughly €5,820, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,865. So you're paying more overall but getting more space per euro.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In Wittevrouwen, about 35% of homes have label C, and another 35% have label A. Label C means moderate insulation, you'll have reasonable energy costs but not the lowest possible. The home was built in 1920, so some upgrades may have been done.
Wittevrouwen has a mix of households: about 36% are single-person, 28% are couples without children, and 25% are families with children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a secondary school about 600 m away. However, the only neighbourhood review describes student nuisance and litter, which may be a concern for families with young children.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Utrecht's city centre is easily reachable by bike.
At 116 m², this home is 29% larger than the average home in Wittevrouwen (90 m²). The plot is 91 m², which is typical for a terraced house from 1920. The extra space is a real advantage in a neighbourhood where many homes are smaller.
In the most recent data, there were 316 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. With a population of 6,730, that's about 47 crimes per 1,000 residents. This is moderate for a dense urban area. The review mentions graffiti and rubbish, but specific crime types are not broken down here.
