Aldlân-West, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Trosdravik 240 is a quiet, self-contained home in a leafy part of Leeuwarden. At 39 m² it is compact but efficient, with an A energy label keeping running costs low. The asking price of €149,995 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €298,000, partly because studios are smaller than the typical home here. For context, this is one of the more affordable studios in Leeuwarden.
Aldlân-West is a mixed residential area built mainly in the 1970s, with a mix of houses and apartments. Around half the homes are owner-occupied, and the population is diverse: many single-person households, but also families and a notable share of residents aged 65+. Based on three reviews, opinions vary. One resident says: 'Very cosy, recently had a nice meal and drinks with the neighbours, lots of fun!' Another notes: 'Fine, but unfortunately many troublesome loitering youths who spoil it for the others.' A third, after eight years, mentions 'many chavs and people with alcohol and drug problems' affecting safety. So while the area has a strong sense of community for some, others find the street scene challenging. This is the Aldlân-West neighbourhood in a nutshell.
For daily groceries, the nearest supermarket is an AH XL about a ten-minute walk away, with an Aldi and a regular Albert Heijn also within walking distance. Primary schools are close: IKC de Weide is a couple of streets away, and IKC Wiarda is a bit further. Secondary schools are also nearby, including the Leeuwarder Lyceum just around the corner. A GP practice is on your doorstep, and a park or public garden is a five-minute walk. The train station is 2.3 km away, so a short bike ride or bus trip. All this falls within the municipality of Leeuwarden.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Duinstra Melis Makelaars.

I've lived here for 8 years and I've seen and experienced enough! The apartments are nice, but the people living in them aren't always. There are many chavs and people with alcohol and drug problems. This is unpleasant and jeopardises the safety here, and nothing is being done about it. That's why I'm eagerly waiting for the day I can move. The 250 euros would therefore come in handy to save for a house.

About Trosdravik 240, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €149,995 is about 50% below the average asking price in Aldlân-West (€298,000). However, this studio is also much smaller than the neighbourhood average of 103 m². Given its compact size and A energy label, the price is in line with what you would expect for a studio of this type in Leeuwarden.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and heating costs are likely to be low. In the neighbourhood, most homes have labels B or C, so this studio performs better than average.
The train station is 2.3 km from the home, which is about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus trip.
Based on three reviews, opinions are mixed. One resident describes the area as 'cosy yet quiet' with friendly neighbours. Another mentions 'troublesome loitering youths' and a third reports issues with 'chavs and people with alcohol and drug problems' affecting safety. So while some enjoy a strong community, others find the street scene challenging.
Yes, the nearest supermarket is an AH XL about 760 metres away (a ten-minute walk). An Aldi is 830 metres away, and a regular Albert Heijn is about 1 km. So daily shopping is easily done on foot or by bike.
Primary schools include IKC de Weide (466 m) and IKC Wiarda (894 m). Secondary schools nearby are the Leeuwarder Lyceum (236 m) and ISK (240 m), both part of OSG Piter Jelles. So school runs are short.
At 39 m², this is a compact studio. It is best suited for a single person or a couple who are comfortable with an open-plan living space.
Currently, there are 3 homes for sale in Aldlân-West, with an average price of €298,000 and an average size of 103 m². This studio is the smallest and cheapest available, so it stands out as an entry-level option.
