Welgelegen, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Zuidvliet sits in a neighbourhood with a real sense of history. At 58 m² it's compact but well laid out, with energy label B keeping running costs manageable. The rent of €895 is on the keen side compared to the neighbourhood average of €973, and the market here moves fast, homes in this area typically let within 17 days. For context, that's quicker than many apartments in Leeuwarden.
Welgelegen is a mixed bag, according to the two residents who reviewed it. One describes it as a "cosy neighbourhood" with "atmospheric" streets and "nice neighbours", adding that "you can feel the history" and "walk straight into the city centre". The other is less enthusiastic, calling it "restless" and pointing to "huge drug problems" and speeding cars. With 1,645 residents and a high proportion of one-person households (785), it's a densely populated area, the address density is 3,906 per km², making it very strongly urban. The neighbourhood Welgelegen has a young profile, with most residents between 25 and 45.
For groceries you're spoilt for choice: Lidl is just around the corner, Jumbo a couple of streets away, and Aldi, Poiesz and Albert Heijn all within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close too, IKC de Kinderkoepel is a couple of streets away, and IKC Aventurijn is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, CSG Comenius has several locations within walking distance. The municipality Leeuwarden offers a lively city centre with restaurants and a library nearby.

Atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's fine to live here, as long as you stay in your own house. There are huge drug problems in the neighbourhood and cars speed by. So cats can't safely go outside either.
