Living in Lemmer-Frieslandpark, De Fryske Marren

Frieslandpark is the newer, quieter side of Lemmer. The neighbourhood borders open water and the marina, and you can see this in the streetscape: wide avenues, spacious plots, plenty of greenery between the houses, and an atmosphere that feels more like a waterside villa district than an ordinary Frisian residential area. Most homes date from the 1980s and 1990s, with some new builds from the 2000s. The supply mainly consists of detached and semi-detached houses, supplemented by a limited number of spacious terraced houses. Apartments are scarce in this part of Lemmer.

The neighbourhood has a distinct audience. With 505 residents in the 45-65 age group and 420 residents aged 65 and over, Frieslandpark is a mature neighbourhood where peace and stability are highly valued. Young families and first-time buyers are relatively few, although there are primary school children in the area. The average income of €40,100 per household is noticeably above the municipal average, which is also visible in the well-maintained appearance of the homes and gardens.

For daily shopping, the centre of Lemmer is easily accessible by bike. In the centre you will find an Albert Heijn and several specialist shops. Frieslandpark itself has no shops, but residents rarely see this as a drawback: the distance to the centre is small. For sports and recreation, the possibilities around the IJsselmeer and the Frisian lakes are extensive. Watersports here are not a hobby but a lifestyle. The marina of Lemmer is one of the largest in the northern Netherlands and is within walking distance of a large part of the neighbourhood.

In terms of accessibility, Lemmer-Frieslandpark is well connected by car via the N359, with a connection towards the A6 via Emmeloord and towards Joure and the A7. Public transport is more limited: Lemmer has no train station, but there are bus connections to Heerenveen and Joure, from where you can travel further. Those who commute daily to the Randstad or Groningen are dependent on the car.

Residents appreciate the peace, space and proximity to the water. On the neighbourhood main page of Lemmer-Frieslandpark you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident describes it as follows: "You really live in a special place here, the water is always close by and the neighbourhood is quiet without being boring." Critical notes sometimes concern the limited public transport connections and the fact that for larger shopping trips or urban amenities you still have to drive a bit.

Compared to other neighbourhoods in Lemmer, Frieslandpark has a different character than the more compact Lemmer-Kom, where there is more older housing and smaller homes, or the greener Lemmer-Rienplan. Those looking for more space and a waterside environment are in the right place in Frieslandpark. Those who prefer to live close to the village cosiness might also look at Lemmer-Noord.
