Living in Lemmer-Rienplan, De Fryske Marren

Lemmer-Rienplan is a quiet, well-laid-out residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of Lemmer, built in the 1970s and 1980s. The streets are wide, with plenty of space for greenery and parking. The housing stock consists mainly of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from that period: functional, not spectacular, but solidly built. There are also apartments, particularly in the social housing sector.

The neighbourhood has a distinctly older profile. Of the 600 residents, the largest group is those aged 65 and over (235 people), followed by the 45-65 age group (155). Young families and people in their twenties are clearly in the minority. This is also reflected in the atmosphere: it is quiet, the streets are not through routes, and there is little social dynamism in public spaces. Single-person households are the most common household type, with 175, which fits a neighbourhood where many seniors live independently.

In terms of amenities, Lemmer-Rienplan is well situated relative to the centre of Lemmer.
