Have been living in Leeuwarden with my husband for 5 years now, we really enjoy it here. It's a beautiful, relaxed city with very friendly people, young and old.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is a nice place to live, I feel safe, but I don't leave my bike outside. The supermarket in the area is super handy, and there's a nice skatepark and playground nearby for the children.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a beautiful neighbourhood, lots of greenery, yet close to the city, near the station, enough shops without having to go into the city centre. It's a very sought-after area; the houses have been made future-proof in recent years. I've lived here for 45 years. It was a dump back then, and now a tiny palace.
