Leeuwen, Roermond
NeighbourhoodThis 1935 terraced house on Burgemeester Thomas Wackersstraat sits in a quiet part of Leeuwen, where the streets are lined with tidy homes and greenery. With 156 m² of living space and a 690 m² plot, it is substantially larger than the neighbourhood average, 54% bigger, in fact. The price of €375,000 is on the high side compared to the local average of €299,000, but the extra space and plot explain the premium. For context, terraced houses in Roermond vary widely, and this one stands out for its generous proportions.
Leeuwen feels like a small village, yet Roermond's centre is only a quarter of an hour away by bike. Residents describe it as a very pleasant family neighbourhood, with one saying: 'Lovely between green and city, wonderful for walking, cycling and living. Nice green spaces, pleasant community with active participation via neighbourhood committee.' Another notes it is 'very quiet, only a bit busier at the primary school in the morning/afternoon. Lots of woods and water around and you can find everything very quickly.' Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores 7.85 out of 10. Most homes are owner-occupied (81%) and nearly all are single-family houses (95%), so the area has a stable, family-oriented feel. The Leeuwen neighbourhood is a place where people tend to stay.
A primary school is just around the corner, Basisschool Leeve is a two-minute walk away, and Vrijeschool Christophorus is a five-minute walk. For secondary school, BC Broekhin Roermond is a ten-minute walk. Daily groceries are a couple of streets away: the nearest supermarket is AH XL, about a ten-minute walk, and there are several others within a 20-minute walk. The train station is 2.7 km away, so a short bike ride or bus trip. Nature is close too, the woods are less than 300 metres from the home, as residents mention. The municipality of Roermond offers a good balance of urban amenities and green surroundings.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Jack Frenken makelaars en adviseurs and on Funda.

Lovely between green and city, wonderful for walking, cycling and living. Nice green spaces, pleasant community with active participation via neighbourhood committee.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience in this neighbourhood is very pleasant. It is safe for children and there are no fast-driving cars. The only downside is that it gets very busy in the mornings on weekdays due to the primary schools. But it is good that there are 2 schools in such a small village. The community is a bit lacking as neighbours don't talk much to each other and mostly keep to themselves. Once in a while there is a neighbourhood meeting but we don't participate. The housing is very good, there are many terraced houses and they are super tidy; both rental and owner-occupied homes. Moreover, it is very clean and there is no nuisance from loitering youths. The nature area is nearby, you can walk through the woods and it is less than 300 metres away. Also, the city is close, and you only need to cycle for a maximum of 15 minutes. (Also within walking distance) The secondary school BC Broekhin is also very close and is very convenient! :)
