Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Palmstraat sits in the heart of Wittevrouwen, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within the city. With 107 m² of living space, a 1910 facade and energy label C, it's a home with character and potential. The asking price of €695,000 is 16% above the neighbourhood average of €601,125, which puts it on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Utrecht.
Wittevrouwen is densely populated and very urban, with 5,360 addresses per km². The one review available is scathing: "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood", a resident describes it as a "fascist neighbourhood that claims to be left-wing", with poorly maintained streets, student nuisance, and a lack of diversity. Social housing is only 6%, and the reviewer laments that "the atmosphere is gone". It's a single, harsh perspective, but it's the only one we have for this neighbourhood Wittevrouwen.
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. The municipality Utrecht offers plenty of parks and restaurants nearby, with a park or public garden just a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Van Doorn Makelaardij.

Palmstraat 9, 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 9, Utrecht
The asking price is 16% above the average asking price in Wittevrouwen (€601,125) and also above the median of €625,000. Given the 107 m² floor area, that works out to about €6,495 per m², which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €6,865 per m². So while the total price is high, the price per square metre is actually in line with the market.
The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient but not top-tier. In Wittevrouwen, about 35% of homes have label C, and another 35% have label A. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
Wittevrouwen has a mix of households: about 36% are single-person, 28% are couples without children, and 25% are families with children.
