Bloemenbuurt, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Begoniastraat 23 sits in a neighbourhood that feels a world away from the city centre, yet it's only a couple of streets away from daily essentials. With 90 m² of living space and a 240 m² plot, the home offers a generous layout for its price. At €259,000, it's priced in line with the market, the median in the area is exactly that figure. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Leeuwarden sell for an average of €2,721 per m², so this one is fairly priced.
The neighbourhood Bloemenbuurt has a strong urban feel, with an address density of 3,799 per km². Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood gets a 5.9 out of 10. One resident says: "You can sum it up as follows: my experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself." Another notes: "After living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here." A third review mentions gossip and a neighbour dispute. The area has a high proportion of single-person households (520 out of 850) and a relatively young population, with many residents aged 25 to 45.
For daily shopping, you have a Jumbo just around the corner and an Aldi a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including IKC Prins Constantijn and IKC Eestroom. The municipality Leeuwarden provides further amenities such as a GP practice and a park or public garden just 0.3 km away. The train station is 2.5 km from the house, so you'd need a bike or bus for that.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via WESSEL Makelaardij.

You can sum it up as follows: > My experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself. The housing is reasonable, but in my opinion, the houses on Azaleastraat are in need of a thorough renovation. Additionally, there are few to no amenities in the immediate vicinity, which does not improve the liveability of the neighbourhood. Based on my personal experiences, I would therefore not recommend the Bloemenbuurt as a place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIAfter living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is praised everywhere, but the truth is less beautiful. People often cluster together to badmouth other neighbours. I've also heard that further down the street there's a serious neighbour dispute; apparently a middle-aged woman regularly bullies her surrounding neighbours and also causes damage to other neighbours' property. So living here isn't all that great after all. Klaas.
