Frequently asked questions
About Dorhoutstraat 65, Leeuwarden
Was €437,500 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price was €437,500, which was slightly above the neighbourhood average of €426,615 and the median of €405,000. Given the A+++ energy label and 84 m², it's on the high side but reflects the modern standard of the home. Recently sold homes in the area averaged €317,566, but those were likely older properties.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This meant the home was extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, 85.2% of homes have an A+ label or better, so this fits the local trend of efficient housing.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 1.6 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes it easy to reach other cities without a car.
What supermarkets are nearby?
Aldi is 526 m away (just around the corner), AH XL is 587 m, and Albert Heijn is 615 m. So daily shopping is very convenient on foot.
What schools are in the area?
Secondary schools are very close: Aeres VMBO Leeuwarden at 236 m and CSG Comenius, Mariënburg at 396 m. Primary schools are a bit further, with IKC de Kinderkoepel at 713 m and IKC de Weide at 795 m.
Why was the year of construction not listed?
The agent had not stated the year of construction in the listing. This detail is missing, so we cannot confirm how old the building is. The home is likely a new build given the A+++ label, but that is not confirmed.
