Child-friendly during the day, unsafe for everyone in the evening.

A few years ago, the neighbourhood was a pleasant and safe environment. Now rubbish bags are thrown next to the containers, causing a lot of nuisance from seagulls. There are also loitering youths who cause a lot of trouble in the area. The playground becomes a hangout in the evening and is left dirty, no longer child-friendly for children to play in the next day. Fires are also set near the apartment buildings, and shouting etc. is left behind, but there is no evidence of anything further.

Frequently asked questions

About Mendelssohnstraat 12, Leeuwarden

Is €289,000 a fair price for this house?

The asking price of €289,000 matches the median price in Sonnenborgh exactly. Compared to the average price per m² of €2,983 in the neighbourhood, this home's €3,322 per m² is slightly above average, but the house is a terraced property, which typically commands a premium over the neighbourhood mix.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The home has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, you won't face sky-high bills, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-label home. In the neighbourhood, only 14.3% of homes have label C, while 57.1% have D or lower, so this is a relatively good rating for the area.

How is the neighbourhood for families?

Opinions are mixed. One resident says it's child-friendly during the day but less so in the evening due to loitering youths and litter. Another finds it pleasant and quiet. The area has several primary schools within walking distance, and 14% of households have children. The playground is nearby, though it may not be tidy in the evenings.

What public transport is available?

The nearest train station is 2.5 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bike ride.

How long do homes typically stay on the market here?

Sold homes in Sonnenborgh spent an average of 40 days on the market. That's fairly typical, not exceptionally fast, but not slow either. With only 7 homes currently for sale, there's limited choice, so interested buyers tend to act reasonably quickly.

What is the garden like?

The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 92 m², which could include outdoor space, but it's not stated whether that's a garden, patio, or just the footprint of the house.
