Welgelegen, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Zuidvliet sits in Welgelegen, a neighbourhood where stately houses and workers' cottages tell the story of Leeuwarden's past. At €169,000, the asking price is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €271,750, a keen entry point for a home in this part of the city. The 58 m² floor area is smaller than the local norm, but the flat's energy label C means reasonable running costs. For context, apartments in Leeuwarden vary widely in price and size.
Welgelegen is a neighbourhood of contrasts. One resident describes it as a 'Cosy neighbourhood' with an '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.' Another calls it 'Restless', noting 'It'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.' Based on two reviews, the picture is mixed. The area is densely urban (over 3,900 addresses per km²) and home to many single-person households. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Welgelegen.
For groceries, you have Lidl just around the corner and Jumbo a couple of streets away, with Aldi and Albert Heijn also within a five-minute walk. Primary schools are close: IKC de Kinderkoepel is on your doorstep, and IKC Aventurijn is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, CSG Comenius Mariënburg is about a ten-minute walk. The city centre is within walking distance, and the train station is a 1.9 km stroll. The municipality Leeuwarden offers a compact urban environment with most amenities nearby.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including De Vos Makelaardij B.V. and Funda.
