NeighbourhoodThis 1930s end-of-terrace house on Asterstraat sits in the heart of Oldegalileën, a neighbourhood with a distinct character. With 76 m² of living space and a 113 m² plot, it's a compact home with a garden. At €169,000, it's the cheapest of the ten homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 40% below the average asking price of €283,850, a keen price for a starter home. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Leeuwarden typically sell for more.
Oldegalileën is an old working-class area with a mix of ages and backgrounds. Two residents describe it as "cosy" but note occasional issues with people hanging around. One says: "Although there are occasionally some vagrants wandering around the neighbourhood or drunk men making it a bit unsafe, it is otherwise a very nice neighbourhood. Everything is within walking or cycling distance and there are plenty of supermarkets, gyms and schools nearby." Another adds: "Strange little neighbourhood, there are often strange people hanging around on the street. There are always groups of chavs chilling in front of their houses at night. Most neighbours are friendly though." The area is densely built with narrow streets, and most homes date from before 1945. It's a very urban setting with a high address density. For more on the area, see the Oldegalileën neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, with Aldi and Poiesz a couple of streets away. A primary school, IKC Prins Constantijn, is on your doorstep, and a secondary school is a ten-minute walk. There's a bakery at the end of the street, and a supermarket within a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood also has a sports club and a forest nearby, though the forest is best avoided after dark. For broader context, the municipality of Leeuwarden offers a range of amenities.
At the time of writing, the home is listed only via FRYSK makelaars.

Although there are occasionally some vagrants wandering around the neighbourhood or drunk men making it a bit unsafe, it is otherwise a very nice neighbourhood. Everything is within walking or cycling distance and there are plenty of supermarkets, gyms and schools nearby. There's also a nice bakery at the end of the street. It's very pleasant living here. It's also clean, no litter on the streets and rubbish is collected often. There's a forest nearby but it's unsafe in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIStrange little neighbourhood, there are often strange people hanging around on the street. There are always groups of chavs chilling in front of their houses at night. Most neighbours are friendly though. Many amenities nearby, such as primary school, secondary school within walking distance, shopping square, sports club. The other night at around two in the morning I was smoking a cigarette in front of my house, and an old dark-skinned woman asked if I wanted to buy a racing bike (in excellent condition) for ten euros, haha. The streets are extremely narrow and some are genuinely difficult to drive into with a car.

About Asterstraat 2, Leeuwarden
At €169,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Oldegalileën and 40% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €283,850. Given its size and energy label F, the price is keen compared to other listings in the area.
The energy label is F, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. Heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better energy label, so this is something to factor into your budget.
