Grou, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis detached house on De Foarn sits in a quiet part of Grou, a village in the municipality of Leeuwarden. With 279 m² of living space and a 730 m² plot, it is a substantial family home built in 2001 and carrying an A energy label. The asking price of €850,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €386,629, but the home is also much larger than the typical home in the area. For context, you can compare it with other detached houses in Leeuwarden.
Grou is a village with around 5,500 residents, where 88% of homes are single-family houses and 63% are owner-occupied. The population is mixed, with a notable share of older residents (27% aged 65+). One resident who has lived here for 55 years says: "Was very good but nowadays it's going downhill due to various moves of some addresses and replaced by people who, partly due to drug use, make a mess of it, it's not getting any better." That is the only review available, so it reflects a personal perspective. The neighbourhood Grou has a low crime rate with 127 total offences.
For daily shopping, you have Lidl and Jumbo both just over a kilometre away, and Poiesz a bit further. There are several primary schools within walking distance: Openbare Basisschool De Twa Fisken and CBS Nijdjip are both about 800 m away, and secondary school Sevenwolden Grou is around 700 m. A GP and a restaurant are both a five-minute walk from the home. The municipality Leeuwarden offers a mix of village and city amenities.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Hooghiemster Makelaars.
