Bilgaard, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on de Fennen sits in a quiet part of Bilgaard, a neighbourhood where children play in the street and neighbours still know each other. With 132 m² of living space and a 131 m² plot, it's a proper family home, and at €245,000, it's priced keenly compared to the average of €285,750 for terraced houses in Leeuwarden.
Bilgaard is a child-rich area with a mix of families and older residents. One resident describes it as "lots of houses and mostly flats for the elderly, there's a mall with some stores which is good but my favourite part is the woods which is great to take a nice stroll through on sunny days." Another notes that "each on their own" sums up the social atmosphere, while a third says: "I think it's a shame that people no longer help each other, they used to." The neighbourhood Bilgaard is densely built with a strong urban feel, and most homes are from the 1945-1970 period.
For daily shopping, Aldi is just around the corner, Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools nearby: IKC Prins Constantijn is a five-minute walk, and IKC Eestroom is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Leeuwarden offers plenty of green space, with a park just a short stroll away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Bosma de Witte Makelaars.

Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a shame that people no longer help each other, they used to, but what can I do about it, I always help everyone and I will continue to do so
Auto-translated to English by AINormal neighbourhood, nothing special, nothing to complain about. Insulation against cold and noise could be a lot better, mould quickly appears in the bathroom because they're old houses. A few years ago there was a renovation that made some rooms smaller, but no rent reduction.
Auto-translated to English by AIFairly quiet, here and there some events from the neighbourhood panel. Small shopping centre in the middle of Bilgaard very nice. Lots of nature (Leeuwarderbos) just behind the neighbourhood, nice for a walk. Pleasant neighbourhood to find peace and quiet. Regularly cleaned so everything is nice and clean. Only little sociability if you don't fit the picture the neighbourhood paints.
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is extremely cosy and people are quick to help each other. However, there is room for improvement in terms of hygiene. I often see piles of furniture left outside in places where it's clearly not allowed. As soon as people see illegal dumping in one spot, it happens everywhere else. Then suddenly the whole Bilgaard is full of rubbish. Also, the bins are often overflowing.
