Living in Noord, Heerenveen
Noord is a quiet, predominantly residential neighbourhood on the north side of Heerenveen with a mixed character. You will find terraced houses, semi-detached houses and apartments, mostly built in the post-war period and the 1960s and 1970s. The streets are not wide, which has a positive side effect: hardly anyone drives fast. Resident C.P. describes it as a "pleasant, quiet neighbourhood where many activities are organised. Because the streets are quite narrow, people don't drive fast." That sense of human scale is typical of Noord.
Social cohesion in the neighbourhood is remarkably strong. Resident C. Jansen writes: "Super friendly, young and old get along well. People are attentive to each other, helpful, and so on." With an average age group of 45 to 65 and a significant share of single-person households (910 out of households), Noord is not a typical family neighbourhood, but certainly not an anonymous one.
Facilities in Noord
A major practical advantage of Noord is the proximity of the Tjongerschans Hospital, which is within walking distance.

Furthermore, several primary schools are accessible in and around Noord, and the shops in the centre of Heerenveen are a short bike ride away. For daily groceries, you don't have to go far: supermarkets are nearby.

Is Noord right for you as a tenant?
Noord is a good choice if you are looking for peace, greenery and an involved neighbourhood, without being far from the centre. The neighbourhood attracts relatively many over-45s and single-person households, but also younger residents between 25 and 45 live here. For families with children, the neighbourhood is less pronounced than some other districts, but the presence of schools and play facilities certainly makes it possible. Do you prefer to rent through a housing association? Then register in time with a Frisian housing association, because waiting lists for social housing are a reality here too. For a rental home in the private sector: respond quickly to new listings and make sure you have your income documents and references ready.
