De Waag, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Sint Jacobsstraat sits right in the heart of Leeuwarden, where the city's medieval core meets everyday life. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €495,000, the asking price is 28% below the neighbourhood average of €689,400, which is keen given the 128 m² floor area, though that is 25% smaller than the average home in De Waag. For context, apartments in Leeuwarden vary widely in price and size.
De Waag is the historic core of Leeuwarden, with a very high address density of 4,761 addresses per km², you are right in the thick of it. The population is young and transient: 43% are aged 15,25, and 59% of households are single-person. Only 6% of homes have children, so this is not a family-oriented area. The housing stock is almost entirely pre-war (92% built before 1945), and just 15% are owner-occupied, meaning most are rented. There are no neighbourhood reviews available for this area. For more on the local feel, see the De Waag neighbourhood.
Your daily bread is a 34-metre walk to the SPAR, literally on your doorstep. For a bigger shop, Albert Heijn is just around the corner. There is also an Ekoplaza and an AH to go within a five-minute walk. For school runs, the nearest primary school, Openbare Jenaplan Basisschool Oldenije, is a couple of streets away. Secondary options include Stedelijk Gymnasium and CSG Comenius, Mariënburg. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, and the city's restaurants and library are within a few minutes' stroll.
