Bloemenbuurt, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis 48 m² apartment in the Bloemenbuurt is a social-rent home with an A energy label, built in 1964. The rent is €646 per month, which is keen compared to the average of €800 for rentals in the neighbourhood. For context, there are currently few apartments in Leeuwarden available.
The Bloemenbuurt is a densely built area with a mix of single-family homes and apartments. It's a very urban spot, with 3,799 addresses per km². The population is diverse: many single-person households, a fair share of young adults, and fewer families with children. Reviews from three residents paint a mixed picture. One resident says: "You wouldn't want to live there!" and describes negative experiences with nuisance, safety concerns, and a lack of amenities. Another notes: "After living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed... it used to be nice living here." A third mentions: "A lot of gossip about neighbours." So while the housing is reasonable, the social atmosphere seems challenging. For more context, see the Bloemenbuurt neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, you have a Jumbo just around the corner and an Aldi a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: IKC Prins Constantijn is on your doorstep, and IKC Eestroom is a five-minute walk. The nearest secondary school is about a ten-minute walk away. A GP is also close by. The area is well served by public transport, with a train station 2.5 km away.

About Prof. mr. P.S. Gerbrandyweg 109, Leeuwarden
Yes, €646 is below the average rent of €800 for rentals in the Bloemenbuurt, and it's a social-rent property. The apartment is 48 m² with an A energy label, so heating costs should be low. Given the limited supply (only one rental available at the time), it's priced keenly.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
You can sum it up as follows: > My experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself. The housing is reasonable, but in my opinion, the houses on Azaleastraat are in need of a thorough renovation. Additionally, there are few to no amenities in the immediate vicinity, which does not improve the liveability of the neighbourhood. Based on my personal experiences, I would therefore not recommend the Bloemenbuurt as a place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIAfter living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is praised everywhere, but the truth is less beautiful. People often cluster together to badmouth other neighbours. I've also heard that further down the street there's a serious neighbour dispute; apparently a middle-aged woman regularly bullies her surrounding neighbours and also causes damage to other neighbours' property. So living here isn't all that great after all. Klaas.

Auto-translated to English by AIPublic transport is frequent and plentiful here, so you can get around easily. The neighbourhood has a lot of litter and it also gets thrown into gardens. Also a lot of trouble with junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIAlthough there are occasionally some vagrants wandering around the neighbourhood or drunk men making it a bit unsafe, it is otherwise a very nice neighbourhood. Everything is within walking or cycling distance and there are plenty of supermarkets, gyms and schools nearby. There's also a nice bakery at the end of the street. It's very pleasant living here. It's also clean, no litter on the streets and rubbish is collected often. There's a forest nearby but it's unsafe in the evening.

Auto-translated to English by AIWe have lived in Weidum since 1972. A bullseye, we can say. Our neighbourhood, Sânpaad, is fantastic. Young and old join in when something is organised. Many of our own young people stay living here. An enormous amount is organised, namely: kaatsen, cards, billiards (4 tables), folk dancing, badminton, fair, Christmas ball, 55+ party, etc. etc. It is a great pity that no building is allowed. We hope to be able to stay here for years to come. Weidum "boppe".
