Keetwaltje 42
Welgelegen, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodA studio with character in Welgelegen
This studio on Keetwaltje sits in a neighbourhood that feels lived-in and layered. At €164,500 it is keenly priced, 38% below the average asking price in Welgelegen, partly because the floor area (44 m²) is smaller than the neighbourhood norm. For context, studios in Leeuwarden tend to be compact, so this fits the profile.
The Welgelegen neighbourhood
Welgelegen is a mixed bag, according to the one review available. One resident calls it a "Cosy neighbourhood" with "atmospheric" streets and "nice neighbours", adding that "you can walk straight into the city centre". Another describes it as "Restless", citing "huge drug problems" and speeding cars. The area has a high proportion of single-person households (785 out of 1,645 residents) and a young skew, 640 people are between 25 and 45. The Welgelegen neighbourhood is urban (address density 3,906 per km²) and feels it.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy: a Lidl is just around the corner, and Jumbo, Aldi, Poiesz and Albert Heijn are all within a five-minute walk. For schools, IKC de Kinderkoepel is on your doorstep, and IKC Aventurijn is a couple of streets away. Secondary schools are a ten-minute walk or so. The municipality of Leeuwarden has a compact centre, and the station is about 1.9 km away.

Frequently asked questions
About Keetwaltje 42, Leeuwarden
Is €164,500 a fair price for this studio?
The asking price is 38% below the average asking price in Welgelegen (€266,519), but the floor area is also 56% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 101 m². Given the compact size and the studio format, the price is in line with what you would expect for a 44 m² studio in this part of Leeuwarden.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is mid-range on the scale, it is not the most efficient, but it is not the least either. Expect moderate energy costs, though the exact amount depends on your usage.
How safe is the Welgelegen neighbourhood?
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions a "Cosy neighbourhood" with nice neighbours, while another warns of "huge drug problems" and speeding cars. The CBS data records 119 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a breakdown it is hard to judge the severity. It is best to visit at different times to get a feel for the area.
What is the public transport like?
The train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
Are there any outdoor spaces or a garden?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated either, so it is safe to assume there is no private outdoor space. The nearest park or public garden is 0.9 km away.
How many rooms does this studio have?
The property is listed as a studio, which typically means one open-plan living/sleeping area plus a separate kitchen and bathroom.
Experiences from Welgelegen
How residents experience their neighbourhood
Atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's fine to live here, as long as you stay in your own house. There are huge drug problems in the neighbourhood and cars speed by. So cats can't safely go outside either.

Experiences from Oud-Oost
How residents experience their district
You can sum it up as follows: > My experience with the Bloemenbuurt is very negative. In two consecutive situations, we had neighbours who caused a lot of nuisance. There were concerns about drug activities, the safety of children, and serious incidents in the neighbourhood, including a car explosion. As a result, I don't feel safe here and I wouldn't choose to live in this neighbourhood myself. The housing is reasonable, but in my opinion, the houses on Azaleastraat are in need of a thorough renovation. Additionally, there are few to no amenities in the immediate vicinity, which does not improve the liveability of the neighbourhood. Based on my personal experiences, I would therefore not recommend the Bloemenbuurt as a place to live.

Auto-translated to English by AIAfter living in this neighbourhood for many years, a lot has changed in the meantime; many neighbours cause division among the residents, and they just do whatever they can't help doing. It must be the times, but it used to be nice living here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have little contact with the neighbours and other residents. Sometimes you do see things that don't belong in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is praised everywhere, but the truth is less beautiful. People often cluster together to badmouth other neighbours. I've also heard that further down the street there's a serious neighbour dispute; apparently a middle-aged woman regularly bullies her surrounding neighbours and also causes damage to other neighbours' property. So living here isn't all that great after all. Klaas.
Auto-translated to English by AIPublic transport is frequent and plentiful here, so you can get around easily. The neighbourhood has a lot of litter and it also gets thrown into gardens. Also a lot of trouble with junkies.
Auto-translated to English by AIAlthough there are occasionally some vagrants wandering around the neighbourhood or drunk men making it a bit unsafe, it is otherwise a very nice neighbourhood. Everything is within walking or cycling distance and there are plenty of supermarkets, gyms and schools nearby. There's also a nice bakery at the end of the street. It's very pleasant living here. It's also clean, no litter on the streets and rubbish is collected often. There's a forest nearby but it's unsafe in the evening.

Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone keeps to themselves but it's a calm and peaceful neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIWe have lived in Weidum since 1972. A bullseye, we can say. Our neighbourhood, Sânpaad, is fantastic. Young and old join in when something is organised. Many of our own young people stay living here. An enormous amount is organised, namely: kaatsen, cards, billiards (4 tables), folk dancing, badminton, fair, Christmas ball, 55+ party, etc. etc. It is a great pity that no building is allowed. We hope to be able to stay here for years to come. Weidum "boppe".
