Welgelegen: a neighbourhood of contrasts
Welgelegen is a lively, urban area just east of the city centre. With an address density of 3,906 per km², it's very densely built. The population is young and mobile, many single-person households, a large share of 25-45 year olds. One resident calls it a "Cosy neighbourhood" with "atmospheric" streets and "nice neighbours", but also notes "huge drug problems" and speeding cars. Another review describes it as "Restless", fine to live in, but best to keep to yourself. Based on just two reviews, the picture is mixed. The Welgelegen neighbourhood has a high proportion of pre-war homes (65%) and a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties.

Frequently asked questions
About Willem Loréstraat 146, Leeuwarden
Is €275,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €275,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €237,000, but in line with the average sale price of €243,516 for homes sold recently. Given the 115 m² floor area and 127 m² plot, the price per m² (€2,391) is below the neighbourhood average of €2,902, so it's priced for its size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, only 9% of homes have label A, while 41% have label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for a pre-war house.

The city centre of Leeuwarden is within walking distance, about a 10-15 minute walk from the house. The train station is 1.9 km away, roughly a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
What are the neighbours like?
Reviews are mixed. One resident describes it as a "Cosy neighbourhood" with nice neighbours and a historic feel. Another mentions "huge drug problems" and speeding cars, advising caution. The area has many single-person households and a young population, so it's lively but not without issues.
Is there a garden?
Given the house type (end-of-terrace), it's common to have a small front and back garden, but you would need to verify with the agent.
How many bedrooms does the house have?
With 115 m² of living space, it likely has three or four bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
