A classic terraced house on Dokkumerstraat
This 1928 terraced house on Dokkumerstraat brings a bit of old-fashioned character to your daily life. With 122 m² of living space and a 140 m² plot, it's a solid size for a couple or small family. The last known asking price of €275,000 was keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €283,850, making it a realistic option in a market where terraced houses in Leeuwarden were always in demand. This home has not been online since 1 October 2026.
The Oldegalileën neighbourhood
Oldegalileën is an old working-class area with a mix of elderly residents and immigrants, according to two reviews. One resident calls it "cosy" and notes that "everything is within walking or cycling distance" with plenty of shops and schools nearby. Another describes it as a "strange little neighbourhood" with occasional groups hanging around at night, but adds that most neighbours are friendly. The streets are narrow, and parking can be tricky. Based on two reviews, it's a mixed bag. The area has a high proportion of single-person households (925 out of 1960 residents) and a young demographic, with many 25-45 year olds. For more context, see the Oldegalileën neighbourhood.
Life on the street
Daily errands are easy: Jumbo is just around the corner, and Poiesz and Ekoplaza are a couple of streets away. For schools, the Stedelijk Gymnasium is a five-minute walk, and IKC Prins Constantijn is also within easy reach. The neighbourhood has a nice bakery at the end of the street, and a forest nearby, though it's best avoided after dark. The municipality of Leeuwarden offers all the amenities of a city centre, with restaurants and a library within walking distance. See the municipality of Leeuwarden for more.
