Oostergrachtswal 9A
Molenpad, Leeuwarden
AreaA classic apartment on a canal
This apartment on Oostergrachtswal sits in a quiet corner of Leeuwarden, with the water just outside your window. At 108 m² it's a comfortable size, and the energy label B means it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €325,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €417,500, partly because the home is smaller than the typical 160 m² in the area. For context, that's 22% below the average asking price, which makes it a notable option among apartments in Leeuwarden.
Molenpad: a mixed urban pocket
Molenpad is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a high address density of 4,466 per km². It's home to a young population, over a third of residents are between 15 and 25, and many live alone (620 single-person households). One resident describes it as "a decent neighbourhood but sometimes unsafe," adding that "sometimes you do see things that don't belong in the neighbourhood." That's based on a single review, so it's just one perspective. The area has a mix of pre-war housing (all built before 1945) and a higher-than-average share of single-family homes. For more on the area, see the Molenpad neighbourhood.

For your morning bread, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Poiesz is a couple of streets away. Jumbo and SPAR are also within a five-minute walk. If you have young children, IKC de Kinderkoepel is a ten-minute walk, and there's a child daycare at the same distance. For secondary school, Stedelijk Gymnasium is about a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, and a GP is just under a kilometre from home. All of this sits within the municipality of Leeuwarden, which offers a full range of city amenities.
