Frequently asked questions

About Wijbrand de Geeststraat 28, Leeuwarden

Is €489,000 a fair price for this apartment?

The asking price of €489,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €337,250 and the average sold price of €362,463. However, this apartment is 110 m², while the neighbourhood average for sold homes is 168 m². The price per m² works out to about €4,445, compared to the neighbourhood average of €3,001 per m². So it's on the high side relative to the local market.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. That means heating costs are likely to be significant, especially given the 1900 construction year. In the neighbourhood, 45.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should expect higher energy bills than a modern home.

How far is the train station?

The train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting or trips to other cities.

What are the nearest supermarkets?

The closest supermarket is Ekoplaza at 468 m, followed by Poiesz at 504 m and SPAR at 595 m. All are within a five-minute walk, so daily shopping is easy on foot.

What schools are nearby?

The nearest primary school is IKC de Kinderkoepel at 344 m, and the nearest secondary school is CSG Comenius, Mariënburg at 389 m. Both are within a five-minute walk, which is convenient for families.

How safe is the Molenpad neighbourhood?

Based on one resident review, the neighbourhood scores 7.13 out of 10. The resident says it's "a decent neighbourhood but sometimes unsafe," noting that "sometimes you do see things that don't belong." The total number of recorded crimes in the area is 78, but without context it's hard to compare.

What is the neighbourhood like demographically?

Molenpad has 1,325 residents, with a high proportion of young adults (35% aged 15-25) and many single-person households (620 out of 915 households). Only 105 households have children. It's a very urban area with an address density of 4,466 per km².
