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 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.

About Bijenhofstraat 13, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €225,000 is 18% below the average asking price in the Bloemenbuurt (€274,314) and also below the median of €259,000. Given the 107 m² floor area and 125 m² plot, the price per m² is about €2,103, compared to the neighbourhood average of €2,721. So it is priced keenly, though the energy label E and the 1935 construction year mean some renovation may be needed.
The energy label is E, which is relatively inefficient. In the Bloemenbuurt, 63.6% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home, but no specific amounts are given in the listing.
Resident reviews are mixed. One review mentions drug concerns, a car explosion, and feeling unsafe. Another notes deterioration and neighbour disputes. A third speaks of gossip and a serious neighbour dispute. The neighbourhood recorded 61 total crimes in the latest data, but no breakdown is available. It is worth visiting at different times to get your own impression.

The listing does not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 107 m² of living space over multiple floors, it likely has at least three rooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is a 30-minute walk or a short cycle.
