About Wijbrand de Geeststraat 28, Leeuwarden
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
