Kapelstraat 89
Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
AreaA historic terraced house on Kapelstraat
This 1860 terraced house sits on Kapelstraat in Wittevrouwen, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within Utrecht. With 66 m² of living space, it was compact but full of character, and the asking last known rent of €2,850 was 40% above the neighbourhood average of €2,041, so it was on the high side. For context, [terraced houses in Utrecht]( /huurwoningen/utrecht/tussenwoningen/ ) typically command a premium, but this price was notably steep. This home has not been online since 14 August 2026.
The Wittevrouwen neighbourhood
[The Wittevrouwen neighbourhood]( /buurt/wittevrouwen-utrecht/ ) is a dense, urban area with a strong student presence. One resident describes it as "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," adding that "everywhere there is vomit, glass, and rubbish" and that "students overpopulate the area." The review, based on a single response, paints a picture of social inequality and a lack of cohesion. The CBS data shows a young population, with 37% aged 25-45, and 60% of households are single-person, reflecting the student-heavy character.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Jumbo and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner, at 303 and 320 metres respectively, making grocery shopping easy. The Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen, a primary school, is a five-minute walk away, while the School aan de Singel, a secondary school, is similarly close. [The municipality of Utrecht]( /gemeente/utrecht/ ) provides a wide range of amenities, with a park just 300 metres away and a restaurant.
