Wittevrouwen: a neighbourhood with strong opinions
Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban area with a very high address density (5,360 addresses per km²). It's a young neighbourhood: nearly 37% of residents are between 25 and 45, and a third of households are singles. The one review available paints a stark picture: "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," says a resident, describing it as "a fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing" with "poorly maintained streets" and "vomit, glass, and rubbish." They note that "social housing is only 6 percent" and that "there is no cohesion." It's a single, very critical voice, but it's the only one. For a broader view of the area, see the neighbourhood Wittevrouwen page.
