Welgelegen, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis 1905 terraced house on Claes Bockes Balckstraat has a stately feel, with 199 m² of living space, nearly double the neighbourhood average. The energy label is E, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €349,500, the asking price is 29% above the average for terraced houses in Leeuwarden, but the size explains the premium.

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.

About Claes Bockes Balckstraat 11, Leeuwarden
The asking price is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €271,750, but this home is also 95% larger than the typical 102 m² in Welgelegen. The price per m² works out at about €1,756, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,902 per m². So while the total is high, you get more space for your money.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In Welgelegen, 40.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's "atmospheric" with nice neighbours, but another mentions "huge drug problems" and cars speeding by. The CBS reports 119 total crimes in the area, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's worth visiting at different times to get your own feel.
IKC de Kinderkoepel primary school is just 87 metres away, so you can walk there in a minute. For secondary education, CSG Comenius Mariënburg is about 600 metres away, a five-minute walk. There are also several other schools within a kilometre.
Leeuwarden train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is very urban, so public transport connections are good.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 126 m², but that includes the footprint of the house, so there may be a small yard.
