Ondiep: a neighbourhood with character

Ondiep is a dense, urban area just north of Utrecht's centre, with a very high address density (4,874 per km²). It's a mixed neighbourhood: about a third of homes are owner-occupied, and many are pre-war terraced houses. Residents have mixed feelings. One says: "Just nice and stuff." Another is less positive: "The neighbourhood is divided into 2 between the original residents and the new ones, this is clearly noticeable with houses being pelted with eggs and fireworks and the police do nothing." A third review mentions "poorly maintained public spaces." Based on three reviews, the average score is 6.17 out of 10. The neighbourhood Ondiep has a young population, with many 25-45 year olds and a fair number of families.
