Grou, Leeuwarden
This first-floor apartment on De Vlet offers a peaceful setting in the village of Grou, with the water and green surroundings never far away. At 70 m² it is a compact but practical home, and the rent of €945 is in line with the market for this type of property. For context, you can compare it with other apartments in Leeuwarden.
Grou is a village with a strong sense of community, though one long-term resident notes: "Was very good but nowadays it's going downhill due to various moves of some addresses and replaced by people who, partly due to drug use, make a mess of it, it's not getting any better." Based on one review, this is a personal perspective. The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many older residents and a fair share of families. For more details, see the Grou neighbourhood.
Your daily shopping is easy: Lidl, Jumbo and Poiesz are all just around the corner. For school runs, Openbare Basisschool De Twa Fisken and CBS Nijdjip are a couple of streets away, and Sevenwolden Grou secondary school is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the village centre with its restaurants and library is within easy reach.

About De Vlet 80-1, Grou
The rent of €945 is slightly above the average of €879 for rental apartments in Grou, but the apartment is also larger than many. Given the 70 m² floor area and energy label C, the price is in line with what you would expect for a well-sized home in this village.
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is a middle-of-the-road rating, so you can expect moderate energy costs. It does not tell you anything specific about the insulation or heating system, only the overall efficiency.
Grou has a good mix of households: 29% of homes have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. The area is quiet and green, with a park and playground nearby. However, one resident mentioned some recent social changes that have affected the atmosphere.

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".
