The Bloemenbuurt is a densely built area with a mix of housing, mostly pre-war. Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident says: "You wouldn't want to live there!" and describes negative experiences with nuisance, safety concerns, and few amenities. Another notes: "After living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed... it used to be nice living here." A third mentions gossip and neighbour disputes. The neighbourhood has a high population density and a young adult skew. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Bloemenbuurt.
Daily errands are easy: a Jumbo supermarket is just around the corner, and a Poiesz is a couple of streets away. For fresh bread, there's also an Aldi and Lidl within a five-minute walk. Schools are close by: IKC Prins Constantijn is on your doorstep, and IKC Aventurijn is a couple of streets away. The municipality Leeuwarden offers further context on the city's amenities.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via De Vos Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

You can sum it up as follows: > My experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself. The housing is reasonable, but in my opinion, the houses on Azaleastraat are in need of a thorough renovation. Additionally, there are few to no amenities in the immediate vicinity, which does not improve the liveability of the neighbourhood. Based on my personal experiences, I would therefore not recommend the Bloemenbuurt as a place to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIAfter living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is praised everywhere, but the truth is less beautiful. People often cluster together to badmouth other neighbours. I've also heard that further down the street there's a serious neighbour dispute; apparently a middle-aged woman regularly bullies her surrounding neighbours and also causes damage to other neighbours' property. So living here isn't all that great after all. Klaas.

About Meidoornstraat 48, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €259,000 matches the median sale price in the Bloemenbuurt exactly. With 93 m², that works out to about €2,785 per m², which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,721 per m². Given the detached type and plot size, it's priced in line with the local market.
The home has energy label D. This is a common rating for a 1936 house, meaning it has some insulation but not the highest efficiency. Heating costs will be moderate compared to newer homes, but lower than labels E, F or G.
Resident reviews mention concerns about safety, including drug activities and a car explosion. One reviewer said they don't feel safe. The neighbourhood recorded 61 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for a densely populated area. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel.
Several supermarkets are within a five-minute walk: Jumbo, Poiesz, Aldi and Lidl. Primary schools are also close, with IKC Prins Constantijn just 220 m away. A park or public garden is 300 m away, and a restaurant is 600 m. The train station is 2.5 km, so a short cycle or bus ride.
Built in 1936, the house is nearly 90 years old. The energy label D suggests some modernisation, but older homes often need maintenance. The listing doesn't specify recent renovations, so you'd want to inspect the roof, windows and heating system.
Given it's a detached house, there's likely outdoor space, but you'd need to view it to see the actual layout.
The listing doesn't state the number of bedrooms. With 93 m², a typical detached house of this era might have 3 bedrooms, but you'd need to check the floor plan or visit to confirm.
