Wittevrouwen, Utrecht
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Takstraat sits in Wittevrouwen, a neighbourhood that feels like a village within the city. With 95 m² of living space over three floors, it has the proportions of a traditional family home. At €2,595 a month, the rent is 25% above the neighbourhood average of €2,068, partly because it's a house, not a flat. For context, the average terraced houses in Utrecht command a premium.
Wittevrouwen is densely built and lively, with 5,360 addresses per km². One resident describes it as 'Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood' and notes 'a huge nuisance of students'. The same review points out that social housing is only 6% and that many homes are being split or extended. It's a place where average household incomes are high, but the streets can feel messy, 'vomit, glass, and rubbish' according to the resident. The neighbourhood Wittevrouwen has a young population, with many singles and students.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are three primary schools within a five-minute walk: Openbare Jenaplanschool Wittevrouwen, Basisschool De Wissel, and KBS Montessori Buiten Wittevrouwen. The municipality Utrecht has plenty of parks, Wilhelminapark is a ten-minute walk, and restaurants are on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via LG Vastgoed and also appears on Vastgoed Nederland.

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 Takstraat 5, Utrecht
The rent is 25% above the neighbourhood average of €2,068, but that average includes many smaller flats. For a mid-terrace house of 95 m² in Wittevrouwen, the price is on the high side compared to other rentals in the area. The market shows 9 available rentals, with a median of €2,400, so this home is above that.
The energy label is C, which is average for a house built in 1920. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern home, but not excessively high either. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, but this home's specific label is C.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The city centre of Utrecht is easily reachable by bike.
Wittevrouwen has a mix of residents, but only 740 households with children out of 3,250 total. Many homes are occupied by students and young professionals. The resident review mentions noise and lack of social cohesion, so it may not be the quietest area for families.
The plot is 60 m², which typically includes a small garden or courtyard, but the listing does not specify a garden. There is a park or public garden 0.3 km away, so green space is nearby.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 95 m² over three floors, it likely has 3 or 4 rooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
