Aldlân & De Hemrik: green and well-connected, but honest about the rough edges
Living in Aldlân & De Hemrik means living in a district that does a lot right on paper, but in practice evokes somewhat mixed feelings. Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.3 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl, based on reviews from actual residents. The high scores stand out for accessibility (8.3) and amenities (8.7), while safety (6.7) and housing (6.3) lag behind. Ingrid describes it as "very cosy", with neighbourly contact and a relaxed atmosphere. But Miranda, who has lived there for eight years, is more honest: she notes nuisance from people with alcohol and drug problems and feels too little is done about it. Eryn partly confirms that picture: "fine, but lots of bad loitering youths who unfortunately spoil it for others." That is no reason to drop out, but it is something to keep in mind if you are looking for a home to buy in a quiet environment. More resident reviews and all neighbourhood data can be found on the overview page of Aldlân & De Hemrik.
In terms of amenities, the district scores well. Shopping centre De Hemrik offers daily groceries, including a supermarket and various shops within walking distance. There are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, although education scores the lowest of all categories at 6.0. For sports, there is plenty to do: the district has sports fields and is close to the Kalverdijkje, a popular recreational area with water and greenery. That explains the high green score of 8.3. The neighbourhood Aldlân-Oost has a slightly more family-oriented character, while Hemrik has more apartments. Also Rapenburg is a quieter sub-neighbourhood worth exploring.
Accessibility is one of the strongest points. Leeuwarden Central is easily reachable by bike, and several bus lines connect the district with the city centre and other parts of the city. By car, the A32 is quickly accessible, which also makes Aldlân & De Hemrik attractive for commuters towards Heerenveen or Drachten. The municipality is focusing on further improvement of public space; more information can be found on the website of the municipality of Leeuwarden.

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.
