One resident describes it as "lots of houses and mostly flats for the elderly, there's a mall with some stores which is good but my favourite part is the woods which is great to take a nice stroll through on sunny days." Another notes a change in community spirit: "I think it's a shame that people no longer help each other, they used to, but what can I do about it, I always help everyone and I will continue to do so." The neighbourhood Bilgaard has a high urban density, so you're never far from amenities.
For your daily shopping, Aldi and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including IKC Prins Maurits and Leeuwarder Schoolvereniging, both a ten-minute walk away. The nearest secondary school is about a 15-minute walk. The municipality Leeuwarden offers plenty of green space, with a park or public garden a couple of streets away.

Auto-translated to English by AINormal neighbourhood, nothing special, nothing to complain about. Insulation against cold and noise could be a lot better, mould quickly appears in the bathroom because they're old houses. A few years ago there was a renovation that made some rooms smaller, but no rent reduction.
Auto-translated to English by AIFairly quiet, here and there some events from the neighbourhood panel. Small shopping centre in the middle of Bilgaard very nice. Lots of nature (Leeuwarderbos) just behind the neighbourhood, nice for a walk. Pleasant neighbourhood to find peace and quiet. Regularly cleaned so everything is nice and clean. Only little sociability if you don't fit the picture the neighbourhood paints.
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is extremely cosy and people are quick to help each other. However, there is room for improvement in terms of hygiene. I often see piles of furniture left outside in places where it's clearly not allowed. As soon as people see illegal dumping in one spot, it happens everywhere else. Then suddenly the whole Bilgaard is full of rubbish. Also, the bins are often overflowing.
