Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1860s terraced house on Obrechtstraat sits in the heart of Wittevrouwen, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within Utrecht. With 94 m² of living space and a 72 m² plot, it's a compact but characterful home. The asking price of €595,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €601,125, making it a keen option compared to other terraced houses in Utrecht.
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.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There's also an Ekoplaza for organic bits. Families have two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen and Koorschool Utrecht. For secondary education, School aan de Singel is also close by. The municipality Utrecht offers plenty more, but these are the essentials on your doorstep.

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.
