Homes for sale in Trebolbuurt, Harlingen

House prices and market figures for Trebolbuurt, Harlingen

Trebolbuurt is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 61% of the 411 homes are owned, the rest are rented, a large portion of which through a housing association (30%). The average WOZ value is €214,000, which is noticeably lower than the average in the Harlingen district (€236,000) and the municipal average of €237,000.

If you look at actual transactions over the past year, sale prices are significantly higher. Of the 11 homes sold, the average purchase price was €461,045, with a range from €239,500 to €1,045,000. With an average living area of 155 m², this works out to a price of around €2,975 per square metre. This wide range shows that both entry-level homes and larger, more exclusive properties change hands.

Living in Trebolbuurt, Harlingen

Trebolbuurt is located in the southwestern part of Harlingen and has a quiet, residential neighbourhood character that clearly differs from the lively Binnenstad or the more industrial-oriented surroundings of Industriehaven en omgeving. The neighbourhood consists largely of terraced houses and semi-detached houses built in the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some later extensions. Streets are modest in scale, with front gardens and ample on-street parking. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out, but that is precisely what many residents appreciate: it is simply pleasant and quiet to live there.

In terms of amenities, Trebolbuurt is reasonably self-sufficient for daily groceries. The centre of Harlingen, with Voorstraat as the shopping street and various supermarkets, can be reached by bike within five to ten minutes. Primary schools are located in the immediate vicinity of the neighbourhood, and for secondary education, students rely on schools elsewhere in Harlingen or in Franeker. Sports clubs, including football and tennis clubs, are easily accessible by bike on the edge of the city.

Harlingen no longer has a train station in the traditional sense, but bus connections towards Leeuwarden and Franeker depart regularly from the centre. By car, via the N31 you are quickly on the motorway towards Leeuwarden (about 25 minutes) or Sneek. The location in the west of Friesland means that you always have to travel a bit for larger cities, but those who consciously choose Harlingen appreciate precisely that distance from the hustle and bustle. The proximity of the Wadden Sea and the harbour gives the entire city, and thus also Trebolbuurt, a unique atmosphere that you won't find inland.

The population composition is varied: the largest group is 45 to 65 years old (225 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (210). This makes Trebolbuurt a relatively ageing neighbourhood, resulting in a quiet living environment. Single-person households form the largest category (225), which is also visible in the streetscape. Young families are less strongly represented than in new-build neighbourhoods such as Plan-Zuid.

Residents appreciate the tranquillity and affordability of the neighbourhood compared to other parts of Harlingen. On the neighbourhood main page of Trebolbuurt you can find all resident reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "Quiet and clear, you know your neighbours and that feels familiar. Not spectacular, but just nice to live in." Critical comments sometimes concern the ageing housing stock and the limited dynamism in the streetscape in the evenings. Those seeking more liveliness might be better off looking at Oosterpark or the Binnenstad.

For whom is a home in Trebolbuurt a good choice?

Trebolbuurt mainly appeals to movers and people in the 45-plus age group who are looking for peace and space without living far outside the city. It also offers opportunities for singles seeking an affordable owner-occupied home in a clear environment. First-time buyers can enter via the lower price range (from around €240,000), although supply is limited and you need to decide quickly. Families with young children will find less play opportunities and dynamism here than in newer neighbourhoods. If you want to explore the neighbourhood first without buying immediately, there are also rental homes in Trebolbuurt available.
