Bloemenbuurt, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Geraniumstraat sits in Leeuwarden's Bloemenbuurt, a pre-war neighbourhood with a strong urban feel. At 110 m² on a 162 m² plot, it's a solid family home, but with an energy label G, heating costs will be significant. Priced at €250,000, it's below the neighbourhood average of €274,314, making it a keen entry point for a corner house in this part of the city. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Leeuwarden vary widely in price and condition.
The neighbourhood Bloemenbuurt has a mixed reputation based on three resident reviews. One resident says: "You wouldn't want to live there! My experience is very negative, drug activities, safety concerns, a car explosion. I don't feel safe here." Another notes: "After many years, a lot has changed; many neighbours cause division. It used to be nice living here." A third adds: "There's a lot of gossip about neighbours. People cluster together to badmouth others." The neighbourhood is densely populated (3,799 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of single-person households (520 out of 850).
For daily shopping, Jumbo is just around the corner, with Aldi and Lidl a couple of streets away. Primary schools are within a five-minute walk: IKC Franciscus, IKC Eestroom, and IKC Prins Constantijn are all close by. The municipality Leeuwarden offers further amenities, with a park or public garden a couple of streets away and a restaurant just around the corner. The train station is a ten-minute walk away.

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.

About Geraniumstraat 78, Leeuwarden
At €250,000, this house is priced below the neighbourhood average of €274,314 and the median of €259,000. Given the energy label G and the mixed resident reviews, the price seems keen for a corner house of this size. However, the low energy efficiency means higher running costs, so factor that into your budget.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating and electricity bills. Most homes in the neighbourhood (63.6%) have labels D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth budgeting for upgrades.
Residents report safety concerns. One review mentions drug activities, a car explosion, and feeling unsafe. Another notes deterioration and neighbour disputes. The neighbourhood recorded 61 total crimes recently, but specific types are not detailed. It's a mixed picture, so visiting at different times is advisable.
