Skoatterwald, Heerenveen
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Korte Venen sits in a quiet part of Skoatterwald, a neighbourhood where greenery and space go hand in hand.

Skoatterwald is a spacious, leafy part of Heerenveen with a mix of families and older residents. Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood gets an 8.88 out of 10. One resident, living alone, says: "It's a beautiful neighbourhood, but it lacks a bit of cosiness. We never really do anything; I hardly know anyone myself. There are also very few children living here (mostly elderly people), so it also lacks that childish joy." Another, who appreciates the "spacious layout with lots of greenery", notes: "I moved here 3 years ago, never had any complaints or trouble with neighbours. There are dog waste bags and bins everywhere, so it's quite clean. Nicely spacious layout, but the connection to Heerenveen is only via 2 roads, and 1 is full of bumps." The neighbourhood Skoatterwald is home to around 5,280 people, mostly in single-family homes (90%), and 76% are owner-occupied. It's a quiet area with a low urbanity score, so you'll need a car for most errands.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarkets are a couple of streets away: Albert Heijn is about a five-minute walk, and Ekoplaza and Jumbo are just around the corner. There are two primary schools within a few minutes' walk: o.b.s. Het Slingertouw (just 181 m away) and De Burcht. For secondary education, Aeres VMBO Heerenveen is about a ten-minute walk. The municipality Heerenveen offers a good range of amenities, though the train station is 3.6 km away, so commuting by rail means a short drive or cycle.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Veenstra Makelaars & Taxateurs. It's available on both their own site and Funda, so you can compare the details across platforms.
