NeighbourhoodThis 1920s terraced house on Obrechtstraat sits in the heart of Wittevrouwen, one of Utrecht's most characterful neighbourhoods. With 185 m² of living space over four floors, it offers generous proportions for a family. The asking price of €1,095,000 is 82% above the neighbourhood average of €601,125, but the home is also 106% larger than the typical 90 m² in the area, so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. Terraced houses in Utrecht are scarce, and this one combines period charm with a modern energy label C.
Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban area with a very strong city feel (5,360 addresses per km²). It's a mix of students, young professionals and families, 37% of households are single-person, and 25% are families with children. The one review on is scathing: "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood", the reviewer describes a lack of social cohesion, student nuisance, and inequality. It's a single, strongly negative voice, so take it as one perspective. The neighbourhood Wittevrouwen is known for its beautiful old houses and central location, but also for the downsides of popularity.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: the Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen and KBS Montessori Buiten Wittevrouwen. For secondary education, the School aan de Singel is a ten-minute walk away. The municipality Utrecht offers excellent amenities, with a park or garden just around the corner and a restaurant on your doorstep.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Quist Makelaardij.

Obrechtstraat 13, 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.
