About Nieuwstraat 12, Heerenveen
The asking price of €325,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €317,500, but the apartment is new (2022) with an A+++ energy label, which adds value. The average price per m² in Centrum is €3,568, and this home works out to about €4,333 per m², higher than average, but for a modern, efficient home in the centre, it's in line with expectations.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. It's a modern build from 2022, so insulation and installations are top-notch. You can expect minimal energy bills compared to older homes.
Centrum is very walkable: supermarkets like Albert Heijn, Ekoplaza, Jumbo and Aldi are within a few minutes' walk. Primary schools are close by, and secondary schools are a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and there are restaurants and a library nearby. It's a dense, urban area with everything you need on your doorstep.
Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident enjoys living here and finds it better than their previous home. Another mentions occasional noise from neighbours and football fans parking on their property, but appreciates the easy access to schools and shops. The area has many single-person households (1,380 out of 2,095 households) and a mix of ages.
At 75 m², it's 35% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 116 m². Most homes in Centrum are older (30% pre-1945), so this 2022 build stands out. The price per m² is higher than average, but you're paying for modern efficiency and low running costs. Only 8 apartments are currently for sale in the neighbourhood, so choice is limited.
With 75 m², it's a comfortable size for a couple or a single person. Given the neighbourhood's many single-person households, it fits the local profile well.
Heerenveen train station is 1.1 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there, you can reach major cities. The central location means most amenities are within walking distance, reducing the need for daily public transport.
One resident mentioned trouble with noisy neighbours and football fans parking on their property. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 495, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. Overall, the area scores a 7.07 out of 10 from two reviews, indicating a decent place to live.
