About Swurdkade 56, Leeuwarden
The price of €360,000 is in line with the market for a new-build apartment of 70 m² in Leeuwarden. The home is very energy efficient (A+++), which keeps running costs low. Without comparable sales data for this specific neighbourhood, it is hard to say if it is a bargain, but the price reflects the modern standard and location.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. It is a new-build (2024), so it meets the latest insulation and ventilation standards. You will not need to worry about high energy bills.
The train station is 3.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride.
The nearest supermarket is a Lidl, just 300 metres away, a five-minute walk. A Jumbo and Albert Heijn are about 1.3,1.4 km away, a ten-minute walk or short cycle. There are also several other shops within a 5 km radius, so daily shopping is convenient.
Middelsee has few children (10% under 15) and many single-person households, so it is not a typical family neighbourhood. It is quiet and safe, with a park nearby, but there are limited playgrounds or child-focused amenities. It may suit couples or singles more than families with young children.
There are several schools within walking distance. Basisschool De Princenhof (primary) is 447 metres away, and the Gomarus College (secondary) is 508 metres away. A secondary school called YnSicht is even closer at 399 metres. So school runs are easy on foot or by bike.
