Bilgaard, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Skrok feels fresh and efficient, built in 2016 with energy label A. With 75 m² of living space, it's compact but well laid out, and the 119 m² plot gives you a bit of outdoor space. The asking price of €289,000 is in line with the market, especially compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Leeuwarden.
Bilgaard is a lively area with a mix of housing and a strong sense of community. 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 it's "child-rich, fairly many native Dutch" but adds "each on their own." A third resident reflects: "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 has many one-person households and a large share of older residents. For more context, see the neighbourhood Bilgaard.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Aldi and Jumbo a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, IKC Prins Maurits, is on your doorstep, and the Leeuwarder Schoolvereniging is a five-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute cycle, and the city centre is easily reachable. The municipality Leeuwarden offers plenty of amenities nearby.

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.
