Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis 1881 terraced house on Ooftstraat sits in Wittevrouwen, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within the city. With 100 m² of living space and an E energy label, it's a home with character, and a price tag that reflects its sought-after street. At €715,000, the asking price is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €601,125, which puts it on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Utrecht.
Wittevrouwen is densely built and very urban, with over 5,300 addresses per km². The population is young, nearly 40% are between 25 and 45, and many live alone (2,405 one-person households). One resident describes it as "too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," adding: "A fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing. Poorly maintained streets. Everywhere there is vomit, glass, and rubbish." The review is based on a single opinion, so it's one perspective on a neighbourhood that also has its charms: historic streets, a mix of students and professionals, and a lively café scene. The neighbourhood Wittevrouwen is home to about 6,730 people, with a high proportion of pre-war housing (95% built before 1945).
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Two primary schools are within a five-minute walk: Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen and KBS Montessori Buiten Wittevrouwen. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is even closer. The municipality Utrecht offers everything you'd expect from a Dutch city, but this street itself is quiet and residential.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Punt Makelaars Utrecht and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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.
