House prices and market figures Nijezijl-Roodhem, Súdwest-Fryslân

The housing market in Nijezijl-Roodhem is remarkably balanced: exactly half of the 659 homes are owner-occupied, the other half are rental properties. This makes it a mixed neighbourhood where buying and renting coexist, which is not so pronounced in many Frisian village centres. The average WOZ value is €260,000, noticeably lower than the district average of IJlst (€306,000) and also below the municipal average of Súdwest-Fryslân (€289,000). Yet the actual transaction prices tell a different story: over the past twelve months, 10 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €468,500. The range was wide, from €226,000 to €865,000, showing that the supply varies greatly. With an average sales area of 132 m², the price per square metre comes to approximately €3,550. These are mainly larger ground-floor homes, detached houses and farm-like properties, not a market for compact apartments.

Living in Nijezijl-Roodhem, Súdwest-Fryslân

Nijezijl-Roodhem is not a neighbourhood you stumble upon by accident. You live here deliberately, because you genuinely appreciate peace, space and the Frisian countryside. The neighbourhood is located in the immediate vicinity of IJlst, a small historic town in the Frisian lake district, and consists largely of scattered buildings along polder lanes, with the occasional more compact housing group. The character is rural-village: lots of greenery, little traffic, and neighbours who know you.

The housing stock is varied. You will find older detached homes and farmhouses converted into residences, but also post-war terraced houses and 1970s buildings that were added to the edges of IJlst at the time. This diversity is reflected in the wide price range: an entry-level home starts at around €226,000, while a renovated farmhouse or detached property can go up to €865,000.

In terms of amenities, Nijezijl-Roodhem is heavily dependent on the immediate surroundings. IJlst itself has a limited range of shops for daily groceries, but for a full supermarket offering and schools, you quickly drive to Sneek, about ten minutes by car. Sneek has several primary schools, secondary schools, a hospital and a wide range of shops. Accessibility by car is reasonable: via the N354 you quickly reach the A7, the motorway towards Leeuwarden and Groningen. Public transport is more difficult: a direct bus connection to Sneek runs, but the frequency is limited, and there is no train station in IJlst. Anyone who commutes daily almost always does so by car or bicycle.

And cycling is a serious option in this area. The polder lanes and dyke paths are attractive for cyclists, and IJlst centre is within a ten-minute bike ride for most residents. If you love water, you are in the right place: the Frisian lake district literally starts on your doorstep.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood main page of Nijezijl-Roodhem you will find the full resident score and all reviews. One resident writes: "You really feel like you live in the countryside here, but Sneek is so close that you don't miss anything." Criticism usually focuses on the limited local amenities and dependence on the car. If you compare Nijezijl-Roodhem with sister neighbourhoods such as Oud IJlst or De Rat-Cloosterkamp, Nijezijl-Roodhem is more spacious and greener in character, but also a bit more self-reliant. Verspreide huizen IJlst is most similar in terms of building character.

Who is a home for sale in Nijezijl-Roodhem interesting for?

Buying an apartment in Nijezijl-Roodhem is virtually not an option; the supply consists almost exclusively of ground-floor homes.
