Burgwal is a historic neighbourhood with a strong sense of place. One resident who has lived here since 1992 says: "I still think it's a beautiful neighbourhood, but social contacts are decreasing." Another adds: "Lovely neighbourhood to live in, old part of the city. Cleaning and greenery leave something to be desired." A third, a 33-year resident, notes: "I still walk around proudly at how beautiful the neighbourhood is, but connections and social contacts have deteriorated." Based on three reviews, residents appreciate the beauty but miss the community feel. The area is densely built, with many single-person households and a mix of ages.

The price per square metre works out at about €6,214, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,260. Given the compact size and historic location, the price is in line with the market.

Burgwal is very central. A Dekamarkt is a few minutes' walk away, and several other supermarkets are within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are close by, and the train station is 1.5 km away. Restaurants are on your doorstep, and there is a park within a ten-minute walk.
The neighbourhood recorded 159 total crimes in the latest data.
The house was built in 1890, so it's over 130 years old. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but you should expect the character and quirks of a historic home. The exact condition is not detailed in the listing.
The plot is 30 m², which typically includes a small courtyard or garden at the back. However, the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, so you would need to verify with the agent.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 70 m² of living space, it likely has two bedrooms, but this is not confirmed. You would need to check the floor plan with the agent.

Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a short while due to homelessness, but it's a nice and busy neighbourhood to live in, always something going on and always something to do. It's still a city so greenery and housing always remain a bit rubbish, but well, where in the Netherlands don't you have that?
Auto-translated to English by AIDe vijfhoek is a very pleasant neighbourhood to live in. Everyone knows each other and is kind to one another. Very occasionally some youngsters come down the street, but that's part of it. All the shops and restaurants are just around the corner, so you're there in no time. There isn't much nature unfortunately, but if you hop on your bike you'll soon reach a forest.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
