Living in Bolsward-Noordoost, Súdwest-Fryslân
Bolsward-Noordoost is the quietest and greenest side of Bolsward. Where the city centre and the ramparts have a historic, compact character, Bolsward-Noordoost opens up towards the Frisian meadows. The housing stock largely consists of larger family homes, many semi-detached and detached houses, predominantly built in the 1970s and 1980s. Streets are wide, there is space for cars and bicycles, and gardens are generally generous. This attracts a different type of resident than the more compact neighbourhoods closer to the centre.
The neighbourhood has a remarkably high resident score of 8.6 out of 10. Resident Anouk van Straten describes it as follows: "Nice neighbourhood, quiet place where children can play and walk around well. No trouble from cars and a nice playground nearby. The people in the neighbourhood are friendly and helpful." That picture matches the demographic composition: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years, but there are also 630 children under 15. Families with children are the most common household type. Living in Bolsward-Noordoost therefore mainly means: space, peace and a neighbourhood where people know each other.
