Bilgaard through residents' eyes
Bilgaard is a mixed neighbourhood, with a large share of older residents and many single-person households. One resident describes it as "lots of houses and mostly flats for the elderly, there's a mall with some stores which is good but my favourite part is the woods which is great to take a nice stroll through on sunny days." Another notes the area is "child-rich, fairly many native Dutch," adding "each on their own." A third resident reflects on how "people no longer help each other, they used to, but what can I do about it, I always help everyone and I will continue to do so." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.23 out of 10. The mix of ages and household types gives [the Bilgaard neighbourhood]( /buurt/bilgaard-leeuwarden/) a varied, lived-in character.
