Living in Hemdijk, Súdwest-Fryslân
Hemdijk lies on the southwest side of Sneek, along the dyke of the same name that gives the neighbourhood its character. It is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a village character, despite its proximity to the city. The homes were mainly built in the 1970s and 1980s, with occasional newer infill. You will find wide plots, many detached houses and semi-detached houses, surrounded by water and meadows. Those seeking more space from the city end up here in a neighbourhood that literally offers that.
The population composition tells a clear story: the largest age group is 65-plus (415 out of 1,215 residents), followed by 45-65 year olds. Hemdijk is not a young neighbourhood. First-time buyers and young families are less represented, although there are certainly families with children. Most households are without children, and 47% of residents are married. The education level is relatively high: 51% of residents have higher education, and the average income of €35,900 is above the municipal and district average.
In terms of amenities, Hemdijk is not a self-sufficient neighbourhood. For daily shopping, you drive or cycle to the centre of Sneek, just a few minutes away. Sneek has a full range of shops, several supermarkets and a compact city centre with shops and catering establishments. Primary schools are accessible from the neighbourhood but are not right around the corner. For sports, Hemdijk benefits from the proximity of the Sneekermeer, one of the largest lakes in Friesland, popular for sailing and water sports. That is no minor detail here: water is an integral part of life in this neighbourhood.
Accessibility by car is good. Via the N354 and the connection to the A7 (towards Joure and Leeuwarden), you are quickly on the motorway. The centre of Sneek can be reached by bike in five to ten minutes. Sneek has its own train station with connections to Leeuwarden and Zwolle, and bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the rest of the municipality. Commuting to Leeuwarden or further is realistic from Hemdijk.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and location on the water. On the neighbourhood page of Hemdijk you can read what residents themselves write about it, including scores per category. One resident put it this way: "You live here quietly, but Sneek is close enough for everything you need. The water completes it." Less positive are some residents about the limited local amenities and the limited turnover in the housing market. If you compare Hemdijk with neighbourhoods like Sneek within the canals or the Stationsbuurt, you consciously choose more space and peace here instead of urban vibrancy. Neighbourhoods like Noorderhoek I and Zwetteplan offer a different type of living environment, more compact and more city-oriented. Hemdijk appeals to a different audience.
Who is a home in Hemdijk interesting for?
Hemdijk best suits movers and seniors who seek space, peace and water, without completely letting go of the city. The average purchase price of nearly €490,000 and the large living areas make this not a starter neighbourhood. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Hemdijk will be disappointed: that supply is hardly available. First-time buyers who still want to buy in the area would be better off looking at homes for sale in Sneek or other districts within the municipality. If you do not have a purchase budget suitable for this segment, then the rental homes in Hemdijk are an alternative to explore, although the rental share is limited at 15%. Be prepared for a market with little supply and serious competition when something becomes available.
