This is based on a single review. The neighbourhood Grou has a mix of ages, with many residents between 45 and 65.

About Kerkstraat 47, Grou
The asking price of €250,000 is 35% below the average asking price in Grou (€386,629) and well below the median of €335,000. However, the home is smaller than average (63 m² vs 126 m²) and has an energy label G, so the low price reflects the size and expected energy costs. Compared to other two-under-one-roof homes in Leeuwarden, it is on the keen side.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older property. You should budget for significant energy bills.
The home was built in 1832, making it over 190 years old. In Grou, 25% of homes were built before 1945, so this is one of the older properties. The age contributes to its character but also means maintenance and insulation may need attention.
Grou has about 5,500 residents and a moderate urban density. Most homes are single-family houses (88%) and owner-occupied (63%). One long-term resident notes that the area has changed over the years, with some decline due to new residents. The village has a mix of ages, with many residents aged 45-65.
