About Eksterstraat 5, Leeuwarden
Yes, it's in line with the market. The average asking price in Vogelwijk is around €290,000, and the median is €295,000. With 102 m², the price per m² is about €2,936, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €3,154 per m². So it's priced without being a bargain.
The home has energy label D. That's fairly typical for a house built in 1929, most homes in Vogelwijk (50%) have label D or lower. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not the most efficient. Upgrades like insulation or double glazing could improve the label.
Vogelwijk is calm and quiet, with a mix of residents. There are families with children (about 175 households), but also many singles and older people.

There's also a GP practice 500 metres away, and a restaurant just 200 metres from the house. For the train station, it's 2.1 km, a 25-minute walk or a short cycle.
The house was built in 1929, so it's nearly a century old. The listing doesn't mention any recent renovations, but with a D energy label, it likely has some original features. The 115 m² plot gives you a small garden, though the listing doesn't specify if it's a front or back garden.
The nearest train station is 2.1 km away, which is a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. Bus stops are likely nearby, but specific lines aren't listed. The neighbourhood is quite urban (address density 3,471 per km²), so public transport options are generally good in Leeuwarden.
