Renting in Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen: limited supply, high prices compared to the rest of Leeuwarden
Anyone looking for a rental home in Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen quickly realises this is not a typical rental neighbourhood. Of the more than 2,000 homes, only 13% are in the rental sector, most of which are owned by private landlords. Housing associations own just 5% of the stock, making the chance of social housing here very small. The average WOZ value of €435,000, almost double the Leeuwarden average of €234,000, shows how different this segment is. In the free sector, 11 homes were rented out last year, with an average rent of €1,326 per month. The range was from €1,100 to €1,620 per month, with an average floor area of 157 m². These are annual averages for the free sector, excluding social housing. See the current supply and most recent rental prices at the top of this page.
Family neighbourhood with space: how residents describe Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen
Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen is essentially a quiet, green suburb of Leeuwarden, built for families with space and tranquillity as a starting point. The neighbourhood scores a 7.3 based on resident reviews on the Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen neighbourhood page, where you can also find all sub-scores and detailed neighbourhood data. Resident Mart, who has lived there his whole life, describes the neighbourhood succinctly: "Everything is nice and close together, there are many families and children, which is also fun." That summary matches the figures well: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but families with children are also strongly represented with over 1,000 households.
Safety scores highest with an 8.0, as do education and amenities, both scoring 8.0. This is noticeable in the area: primary schools are close to home and daily shopping can be done without travelling far. Accessibility scores a 7.0, which is reasonable for a suburb, but those dependent on public transport will notice that connections to Leeuwarden city centre are less frequent than in neighbourhoods closer to the inner city. Green space scores lowest at 6.5, which is striking for a neighbourhood that is somewhat more spacious than the average city neighbourhood.
Within the area, there are clear differences. Zuiderburen is the newer, planned sub-neighbourhood with spacious single-family homes and wide streets. Hempens/Teerns has a slightly older character and lies closer to the Potmarge, while Buitengebied Hempens has its own atmosphere for those who really want to live outside the city. Those considering renting an apartment in Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen will find less supply here than in neighbourhoods like the Binnenstad or Potmargezone. The supply here mainly consists of larger single-family homes.
Renting in Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen: for families with a budget, less suitable for starters
Renting in Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen best suits families or dual-income earners who are looking for space and are willing to pay for it. With rental prices from €1,100 per month in the free sector and hardly any social housing, this is not a neighbourhood for starters or people on a low income. The high education level (46% highly educated) and the average income of €45,600 per year characterise the resident population. Those looking for a rental home with more affordable options would be better off looking at Oud-Oost or Westeinde en omgeving. Considering buying in the long term? Also check the supply of homes for sale in Hempens/Teerns & Zuiderburen, because the owner-occupied market here is much larger than the rental sector.
