The Heechterp neighbourhood
Based on two reviews, the Heechterp neighbourhood gets a mixed picture. One resident calls it a "Beautiful neighbourhood full of renewal," noting many new developments and renovations, though they also mention safety can fluctuate and rubbish is sometimes left next to containers. Another review is less positive, describing it as "generally boring" and recounting noise issues with neighbours. It's a neighbourhood with a lot of single-person households, and the urban feel is strong.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Poiesz supermarket is just around the corner, with Aldi and Jumbo a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: IKC Franciscus for primary education is just around the corner, and several secondary schools, including CSG Comenius, are within a five-minute walk. The train station is about three kilometres away, so you'd need a bike or bus for that. The municipality of Leeuwarden offers all the usual amenities within easy reach.

Frequently asked questions
About Beukenstraat 1B, Leeuwarden
Is €1,255 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,255 is on the high side compared to the average rent in Heechterp, which is €475. However, that average is based on a very small sample and may not reflect this specific apartment's size or energy efficiency. With 77 m² and an A label, it's a relatively efficient home, which could justify a higher rent.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label. This means the home is likely to have lower energy costs compared to less efficient homes. The label is an official registration, so you can expect the property to meet high energy standards.
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
Reviews are mixed. One resident says safety is "very fluctuating," mentioning occasional incidents. Another review doesn't mention safety directly but describes a quiet area where noise from neighbours was an issue. It's a neighbourhood with a strong urban character, so it's worth considering your own comfort with that.
What are the nearest supermarkets?
The closest supermarket is Poiesz, just 206 metres away, so it's on your doorstep. Aldi is about 595 metres, and Jumbo is around 677 metres. That gives you several options for daily shopping within a short walk.
Are there good schools nearby?
Yes, there are several schools within walking distance. IKC Franciscus, a primary school, is about 316 metres away. For secondary education, CSG Comenius Zamenhof is just 237 metres, and other schools like CSG Comenius @Forum and De Brêge are also close by.
How far is the train station?
The train station is about 3 kilometres from the apartment. That's a reasonable distance, but you'd likely need a bike or bus to get there comfortably. The neighbourhood is well-connected for other amenities, though.
Experiences from Heechterp
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Many developments in the neighbourhood with new construction and renovations. As for safety, it's very fluctuating here, with the occasional stabbing/shooting. Very often rubbish is just thrown next to the container since you now pay per lid operation, but before that it was just as bad.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn a quiet neighbourhood where everyone knew each other, a family had just moved in. They had high expectations of their new area, but soon began to experience problems. The first night they were kept awake by noisy neighbours who partied until late at night. They thought it was a one-off incident, but it happened time and again. When they politely asked the neighbours to be a bit quieter, they were ignored.

Experiences from Leeuwarden
How residents experience their municipality
You can sum it up as follows: > My experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself. The housing is reasonable, but in my opinion, the houses on Azaleastraat are in need of a thorough renovation. Additionally, there are few to no amenities in the immediate vicinity, which does not improve the liveability of the neighbourhood. Based on my personal experiences, I would therefore not recommend the Bloemenbuurt as a place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIAtmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIAfter living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have lived in Weidum since 1972. A bullseye, we can say. Our neighbourhood, Sânpaad, is fantastic. Young and old join in when something is organised. Many of our own young people stay living here. An enormous amount is organised, namely: kaatsen, cards, billiards (4 tables), folk dancing, badminton, fair, Christmas ball, 55+ party, etc. etc. It is a great pity that no building is allowed. We hope to be able to stay here for years to come. Weidum "boppe".
