Emmakade 147
Welgelegen, Leeuwarden
AreaA stately apartment on Emmakade
This apartment on Emmakade in Leeuwarden sits in a street with a stately character, where the history of the city is tangible. Built in 1913, the home offers 192 m² of living space, which is generous for an apartment. The rent of €1,975 per month is on the high side compared to other apartments in Leeuwarden, but the size and character of the home explain that.
The Welgelegen neighbourhood
The Welgelegen neighbourhood is a mixed area, and the two reviews reflect that. One resident calls it a cosy neighbourhood, saying: "Atmospheric 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." Another resident is less positive: "It's fine to live here, as long as you stay in your own house. There are huge drug problems in the neighbourhood and cars speed by. So cats can't safely go outside either." Based on two reviews, the picture is clearly divided. The area has a high share of single-person households, and many residents are between 25 and 45.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with the Jumbo and Lidl a couple of streets away. For school runs, IKC de Kinderkoepel is a five-minute walk, and CSG Comenius, Mariënburg is also within walking distance for secondary education. The train station is about two kilometres away, so the city centre is easy to reach on foot. The municipality of Leeuwarden offers a compact urban setting where most daily needs are close by.

Frequently asked questions
About Emmakade 147, Leeuwarden
Is €1,975 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,975 per month for 192 m² in a 1913 building is on the high side. The size is substantial for an apartment, and the stately character of the street adds appeal.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
