Mixed neighbourhood with lots of greenery.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe youngsters park their bikes at the GGZ even though it's not allowed, there's a sign. But the guidance has often talked about it with the school.
Auto-translated to English by AII have never felt unsafe in this neighbourhood, not even late at night on the street. I also notice that everyone is always friendly and helpful. What could be improved is more cardboard bins around the neighbourhood to dispose of cardboard, and a chemist's would also be very nice.

About Surinamestraat 1B, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €189,000 is 43% below the neighbourhood average of €334,158. However, the apartment is also smaller than average (58 m² vs 113 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €3,259, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,078 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a bit more per square metre.
The energy label is D. This is a middle-of-the-road rating: the home is not particularly efficient, but not a major energy guzzler either. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area. You can expect moderate heating costs.
