Welgelegen, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis 1905 terraced house in Leeuwarden's Welgelegen neighbourhood has a warm, historic feel. With 73 m² of living space, it's compact but full of character. The asking price of €249,000 is in line with the market, especially compared to other terraced houses in Leeuwarden.
Welgelegen is a mixed bag, according to residents. One calls it a "Cosy neighbourhood" with an "Atmospheric neighbourhood with nice neighbours. Houses with a stately character interspersed with smaller workers' cottages. You can feel the history, you can walk straight into the city centre." Another describes it as "Restless": "It's fine to live here, as long as you stay in your own house. There are huge drug problems in the neighbourhood and cars speed by. So cats can't safely go outside either." The neighbourhood Welgelegen is densely populated, with many single-person households and a young demographic.
For your daily shopping, you have Lidl and Jumbo just around the corner, and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. IKC de Kinderkoepel is on your doorstep for primary school, while secondary schools like CSG Comenius are a ten-minute walk. The municipality Leeuwarden offers plenty of restaurants and a park within walking distance.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via De Vos Makelaardij B.V. and available through several channels.

About Straat van Welgelegen 21, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €249,000 is close to the neighbourhood median of €237,000 and below the average of €271,750. Given that the house is 73 m², which is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 102 m², the price per m² is about €3,411, slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,902. So it's priced a bit on the high side for its size.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, about 41% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a house built in 1905.
Residents have mixed feelings. One review mentions drug problems and speeding cars, while another finds it cosy. The CBS data shows 119 total crimes in the neighbourhood, which is relatively high for a small area. It's worth being aware of the contrasts.
The train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. That's convenient for commuting to other cities.
Primary school IKC de Kinderkoepel is just 143 metres away, and IKC Aventurijn is 642 metres. For secondary education, CSG Comenius has several locations within about 700-800 metres, so children can walk or cycle easily.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 89 m², but that includes the footprint of the house, so there may be a small yard.
