Welgelegen, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Keetwaltje sits in a neighbourhood with a real sense of history, where stately houses sit alongside smaller workers' cottages. At €159,500, the asking price is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €266,519, partly because the floor area of 62 m² is smaller than the local norm. For context, you can compare it with other apartments in Leeuwarden.
Welgelegen has a mixed character, as reflected in its reviews. One resident calls it a "Cosy neighbourhood" with an atmospheric feel and nice neighbours, adding that "you can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre." Another describes it as "Restless", noting drug problems and speeding cars. Based on just one review, this is a personal snapshot rather than a consensus. The area has a high proportion of single-person households (785 out of 1,645 residents) and a young population, with many aged 15,45. For more on the area, see the Welgelegen neighbourhood.
For your daily shopping, Lidl is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are also Aldi, Poiesz and Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, IKC de Kinderkoepel, is on your doorstep, and secondary schools like CSG Comenius are a ten-minute walk. The city centre is within walking distance, and the train station is about 1.9 km away. For more about the wider area, check the municipality of Leeuwarden.

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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt'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.
