About Boksdoornstraat 14C, Leeuwarden
At €150,000, this is the cheapest home for sale in Schieringen and 34% below the neighbourhood average of €225,700. However, the flat is smaller than average (52 m² vs 84 m²) and has an F energy label, which means higher energy costs. The price per m² (€2,885) is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,714, so the low total price reflects the compact size and poor energy efficiency.
The energy label is F, which is very poor. This means the home is not well insulated and you can expect high heating bills. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have label C and another 42.9% have label D or lower, so an F label is among the least efficient. The home was built in 1956, so it likely has single glazing and minimal insulation.
Schieringen has a mixed reputation. One resident described it as "Very unsafe" with "Antisocial people", while another noted that "crime regularly occurs." The CBS data shows 118 total crimes in the neighbourhood, which is relatively high. However, the same resident also praised the amenities and community initiatives. It's a poor area, so safety is something to consider.
