Living in Camminghaburen-Midden, Leeuwarden

Camminghaburen-Midden is a quiet, predominantly green residential neighbourhood on the eastern side of Leeuwarden, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The neighbourhood largely consists of detached houses, semi-detached houses and terraced houses on spacious plots, with the occasional apartment complex. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery between the buildings, and the neighbourhood has a distinct residential character without a busy shopping area or through traffic.

Striking about the population composition is the strong presence of over-65s (1,030 out of 3,580 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. This translates into the atmosphere: it is quiet, residents know each other, and there is little nuisance. Families with children also live there, but are less dominant. Single-person households form the largest household category, partly explained by the relatively high proportion of older people living alone.

For daily shopping, the Camminghaburen shopping centre is within walking distance, with a supermarket, pharmacy and various service providers. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the younger families in the neighbourhood. The Princessehof and Leeuwarden city centre are about three kilometres away, easily accessible by bicycle via the main cycle paths along the Camminghaburenweg. By car, the city centre can be reached in five to ten minutes; the A31 towards Franeker and the A32 towards Zwolle are quickly accessible via the ring road. Bus connections via Arriva link the neighbourhood with the centre and Leeuwarden NS station, from where trains depart towards Groningen, Sneek and Harlingen.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace, space and green appearance of the neighbourhood. One resident writes: "You really feel like you live outside the city here, but you're there in no time." Less positive are some residents about the limited range of catering and evening activities in the neighbourhood itself.
