Wittevrouwen: a mixed reception
Wittevrouwen is a dense, lively part of Utrecht, with a high number of single-person households and many young adults. Based on one review, the neighbourhood gets a score of 2.13 out of 5. One resident says: "Too expensive, dilapidated white neighbourhood," adding that streets are poorly maintained and there is a lot of student nuisance. The same review notes a lack of diversity and social cohesion. It is a strong opinion, but it is the only one on record. [The Wittevrouwen neighbourhood]( /buurt/wittevrouwen-utrecht/ ) has its own character, and this review reflects one person's experience.
