Frequently asked questions
About Swurdkade 56, Leeuwarden
Was €360,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The price of €360,000 was in line with the market for a new-build apartment of 70 m² in Leeuwarden. The home was very energy efficient (A+++), which kept running costs low. Without comparable sales data for this specific neighbourhood, it was hard to say if it was a bargain, but the price reflected the modern standard and location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible. This meant the home was 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.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 3.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride.
What shops are nearby?
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.
Is the neighbourhood family-friendly?
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.
What schools are close to this apartment?
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.
