Oldegalileën, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s end-of-terrace house on Pioenstraat has a warm, lived-in feel from the moment you step inside. With 108 m² of floor space and a 218 m² plot, it offers more room than many homes in the area. The energy label B means it's reasonably efficient. At €369,000, the asking price is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €283,850, so it's on the high side compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Leeuwarden.
Oldegalileën is an old working-class area with a real mix of residents. Based on two reviews, people appreciate the convenience, everything is within walking or cycling distance, but note that the streets are narrow and there can be a rough edge at night. One resident calls it 'cosy' and says 'it's very pleasant living here', while another describes it as a 'strange little neighbourhood' with 'often strange people hanging around'. Both mention friendly neighbours and good amenities. The area has a high address density (4,627 per km²) and a young population, with many single-person households. For more context, see the Oldegalileën neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, the bakery at the end of the street is a real bonus. Daily shopping is easy with Jumbo just around the corner and Aldi and Poiesz a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including IKC Prins Constantijn just 43 m away, and a secondary school (Stedelijk Gymnasium) a ten-minute walk. The train station is 2.1 km away, so you'd cycle or take a bus. For more on the wider area, check out the municipality of Leeuwarden.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Makelaardij Friesland Drachten and Makelaardij Friesland, so you can view it via multiple agents.

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 Pioenstraat 18, Leeuwarden
The asking price is 30% above the neighbourhood average of €283,850, so it's on the high side. However, this is an end-of-terrace house with a 218 m² plot, which is larger than many homes in Oldegalileën. The price per m² (€3,417) is also above the neighbourhood average of €2,890. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the energy label B.
Oldegalileën is an old working-class neighbourhood with a mix of elderly residents, immigrants, and younger people. It's very urban (address density 4,627 per km²) and has a young population. Residents appreciate the convenience, shops, schools, and a bakery are nearby, but some mention occasional nuisance from people on the streets, especially at night. The streets are narrow and parking can be tricky.
The train station is 2.1 km from the house, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
There are several schools within walking distance. IKC Prins Constantijn primary school is just 43 m away, and IKC Aventurijn is 476 m. For secondary education, Stedelijk Gymnasium is 634 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk.
Jumbo is 531 m away (just around the corner), Aldi is 640 m, and Poiesz is 643 m. There's also an Ekoplaza at 751 m. So daily groceries are easily done on foot or by bike.
The house has energy label B, which is good for a 1931 property. In the neighbourhood, 27.3% of homes have label B, and another 27.3% have label A. So this home is above average in efficiency, meaning lower heating costs than many older houses.
The floor area is 108 m², which typically accommodates three to four rooms, but you would need to view the property to confirm the layout.
The plot size is 218 m², which suggests there is outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
