The range varied from €750 to €1,500 per month, with an average floor area of 86 m².

Camminghaburen: the village feel on the edge of Leeuwarden
On Buurtje.nl, residents rate this neighbourhood an 8.7 out of 10. That is remarkably high, and when you read the reviews you understand why. Resident Willem de Wal (9.6/10) describes it as "a cosy neighbourhood, where most people know each other and there is a strong sense of community." He emphasises that everyone on the street maintains their house and garden well and that there are plenty of play areas for children. Another resident confirms that picture: "It feels like a little village. Wonderfully quiet, no nuisance, and lots of families."

The recreational area De Groene Ster borders directly on the neighbourhood and offers swimming water, forest and walking paths. The sub-score for greenery and beauty is not for nothing a 9.0.

Auto-translated to English by AII have a trusted experience with this neighbourhood. It's cosy but also wonderfully quiet. No nuisance or loud music. It's very clean here and many families live here. I really enjoy living here, where you're not quite in the city but still central enough to get places. We also have a shopping centre with plenty of choice in shops! There are more children living here, so I can't comment on education. It's a very safe, child-friendly neighbourhood with playgrounds for the kids!
