AreaA compact studio on Wijbrand de Geeststraat

The Molenpad neighbourhood
Molenpad is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a strong presence of young adults, many living alone. One resident describes it as "a decent neighbourhood but sometimes unsafe," noting that "we have little contact with the neighbours and other residents. Sometimes you do see things that don't belong in the neighbourhood." This is based on a single review, so it is one perspective rather than a consensus. The area is home to a mix of ages, though the largest group is between 15 and 25. For a sense of the wider area, the Molenpad neighbourhood page has more detail.

About Wijbrand de Geeststraat 97, Leeuwarden
Is €730 a fair rent for this studio?
At €730 per month, this studio is priced well below the average rent in Molenpad, which stands at €1,350.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
