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.

About Zuidvliet 538, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €185,000 is 32% below the neighbourhood average of €271,750, which makes it a keen price. However, the apartment is also smaller than average: 61 m² versus 102 m² in the neighbourhood. The price per m² works out at about €3,033, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,902 per m². So you're paying a bit more per square metre, but the total price is low.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, not the best, but not the worst either. You can expect moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 36.4% of homes have label C, while 40.9% have a lower label (D or worse). So this home is about average for the area.
Welgelegen is a mixed neighbourhood. One resident calls it an "atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours" and says you can walk straight into the city centre. But another mentions "huge drug problems" and speeding cars. The area is very urban (3,906 addresses per km²) and has many single-person households. It's close to the city centre, with supermarkets and schools within walking distance.
Jumbo is just around the corner (277 m), and Lidl and Aldi are also within a few minutes' walk. For primary education, IKC de Kinderkoepel is 273 m away. Secondary schools include CSG Comenius @Forum (671 m) and CSG Comenius Zamenhof (723 m). So daily errands and school runs are easily done on foot.
The train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. That makes it feasible for commuting, though not right on your doorstep.
In the most recent data, there were 119 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. That's a relatively high number for a small area (1,645 residents). One resident specifically mentions drug problems and speeding cars. It's something to be aware of when considering the area.
