The neighbourhood Bolsward binnen De Wallen is the old centre, with narrow streets and monumental buildings. It's a mixed area: many one-person households (435 out of 1,530 residents) and a fair share of older residents (430 are 65+). The neighbourhood has a moderate urban feel (density 1,343 addresses per km²). No resident reviews are available for this area, but the figures show a quiet, established community with a high proportion of pre-war homes (91.7% built before 1945).
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. There are three supermarkets within a five-minute walk. Schools are also close: IKC Sint Maarten and Christelijke Basisschool De Bron are both within easy walking distance. The municipality Súdwest-Fryslân offers a wide range of amenities, with a restaurant, library, and park all nearby.

About Jongemastraat 26A, Bolsward
The asking price is about 7.5% above the neighbourhood median of €445,000. However, this home has an energy label A, which is rare in an area where 43.5% of homes have label D or lower. The 104 m² floor area is 42% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 180 m², so the price per m² (€4,760) is higher than the local average of €3,080. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the energy efficiency and central location.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, only 4.3% of homes have label A, and 13% have A+. This means heating costs will be relatively low, and the home is well-insulated. The label is a strong selling point given the age of the building (1890).
The nearest train station is 10.5 km away. That's about a 15-minute drive or a longer bike ride. Bolsward is not directly connected to the rail network, so a car or bus is needed for train travel.
