NeighbourhoodThis 1890s terraced house on Palmstraat has a surprising amount of space, 121 m² over three floors, and an energy label A, which is rare for a home of this age.

Wittevrouwen is a dense, urban area just northeast of Utrecht's centre, with 5,360 addresses per km². It's a mix of students, young professionals and families, nearly half the households are single-person. 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." That's a single review, so take it as one perspective. The neighbourhood Wittevrouwen has 36 homes for sale at the moment, with a median price of €625,000.
For daily errands, you've got an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Jumbo a couple of streets away.

Palmstraat 56, Utrecht

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.

About Palmstraat 56, Utrecht
The asking price is 41% above the neighbourhood average of €601,125, but the home is also 34% larger than the typical Wittevrouwen home (121 m² vs 90 m²). The price per m² works out at about €7,025, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,865 per m². Given the energy label A and the central location, the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space and efficiency.
The home has energy label A, which is very efficient, especially for a house built in 1890. In Wittevrouwen, 34.9% of homes have label A, and none have A+. With label A, you can expect relatively low heating costs compared to older, uninsulated homes.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride.
