Living in Nijehaske, Heerenveen
Nijehaske is a quiet residential neighbourhood on the south side of Heerenveen, directly bordering the Nijehaske lake and the recreational area around the water. The neighbourhood has a predominantly 1970s and 1980s character, with many semi-detached houses and terraced houses, but here and there also detached houses on larger plots. The streetscape is green and clear, with wide avenues and plenty of continuous greenery between the homes. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but rather for the peace and space you experience there.
Residents rate the neighbourhood with an average score of 7.6 out of 10. That is a solid score. Phoebe describes it as follows: "I have had nice experiences and it is quite a nice neighbourhood to live in and it is reasonably quiet, sometimes nuisance from youth." That nuance is honest: during the day it is quiet, but as in many mixed residential neighbourhoods, youth nuisance sometimes plays a role. Sophie rates the neighbourhood a 9 and simply calls it good, which also says something about how comfortable living there is for many.
The score for amenities is 8.5, the highest sub-score, and that is correct. Within walking distance you will find a supermarket, and Heerenveen city centre is reachable by bike within ten minutes. Schools in the area are easily accessible, which explains the education score of 8.0. Accessibility scores 8.0: Nijehaske is favourably located relative to the N32 and A32, giving you quick access to Leeuwarden or Zwolle. Bus connections provide access to Heerenveen city centre and the train station, from where you travel to Leeuwarden and Zwolle. The lower score for green space (6.5) is striking given the proximity of the lake, but may refer to the somewhat bare layout of some residential streets themselves.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as De Greiden or De Heide, Nijehaske has a more pronounced water recreation character. Compared to the Centre, it is quieter and more family-oriented here. More about the atmosphere, the community and all resident experiences can be found on the neighbourhood page of Nijehaske, including the full sub-scores and reviews.

Does an owner-occupied home in Nijehaske suit you?

Movers who are looking for space without having to move to a village will also find what they are looking for here. Keep in mind that the average selling price of €395,960 is above the WOZ value, which indicates some pressure on the market.
