What does a rental property cost in Aldlân & De Hemrik?
Aldlân & De Hemrik is a neighbourhood where renting and buying are fairly balanced: 46% of the more than 3,600 homes are rental properties, 54% are owner-occupied. Of the total housing stock, 17% is owned by housing associations and 30% by other landlords, meaning the private rental sector is relatively large here compared to many other neighbourhoods in Leeuwarden.

This is also reflected in rental prices: in the private sector (excluding social housing and room rentals), the average rent over the past year was €995 per month, with a range from €325 to €2,000. The average size of those homes was 210 m², which explains why prices can be relatively high.

Aldlân & De Hemrik: friendly neighbours, but watch where you end up
With a resident score of 7.3 out of 10 based on reviews, Aldlân & De Hemrik scores reasonably well, but the figures show a clear pattern. Residents are most satisfied with the amenities (8.7), accessibility (8.3) and the greenery in the neighbourhood (8.3). That makes sense: the neighbourhood borders the Groene Ster recreation area and via the Hemriksingel you can quickly reach the ring road around Leeuwarden. Supermarkets, GPs and primary schools are within walking distance, especially around the shopping centre in Aldlân-Oost. Less positive are safety (6.7) and housing (6.3). Resident Miranda, who lived there for eight years, wrote: "They are nice apartments, but the people living there are not always. There are many chavs and people with alcohol and drug problems." She indicated that too little is done about this. Eryn also confirms that picture: "Unfortunately, many bad loitering youths spoil it for the others."
Yet there is also another side. Ingrid gave the neighbourhood an 8.7 and describes the cosiness: "Recently had a nice meal and drinks with the neighbours, lots of fun!" That contrast is characteristic of this neighbourhood. In the quieter parts, such as the western part of Aldlân, you mainly find single-family homes with gardens and a somewhat older, quieter crowd. The Hemrik area has more flats and porch houses, and complaints about nuisance are more concentrated there. Around Rapenburg it is a different story again, with a mix of social housing and owner-occupied homes. More reviews and detailed neighbourhood data can be found on the neighbourhood page of Aldlân & De Hemrik.
The neighbourhood has a notably large group of over-65s (almost 2,000 of the 6,990 residents), and single-person households form the largest group. You notice this in the street scene: it is quiet during the day, but in the evening some flats can be restless. The labour participation rate is 62%, which is average, and the average income of €32,400 is close to the Leeuwarden average.

I've lived here for 8 years and I've seen and experienced enough! The apartments are nice, but the people living in them aren't always. There are many chavs and people with alcohol and drug problems. This is unpleasant and jeopardises the safety here, and nothing is being done about it. That's why I'm eagerly waiting for the day I can move. The 250 euros would therefore come in handy to save for a house.
