Bilgaard, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Troelstrapark sits in a quiet corner of Bilgaard, a neighbourhood where the pace of life is unhurried and the park is just a stroll away. With 135 m² of living space and a 230 m² plot, it is one of the larger homes in the area. At €425,000, the asking price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €285,750, but the size and energy label A help explain the premium. It is the most expensive of the 14 homes currently for sale in Bilgaard, and terraced houses in Leeuwarden of this size are rare.
Bilgaard is a mixed residential area with a strong sense of community, though some residents note that neighbourly help has faded over time. One resident describes it as "Child-rich, fairly many native Dutch" and adds "Each on their own." Another appreciates the local amenities: "there's a mall with some stores which is good but my favourite part is the woods which is great to take a nice stroll through on sunny days." A third resident reflects: "I think it's a shame that people no longer help each other, they used to, but what can I do about it, I always help everyone and I will continue to do so." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.23 out of 10. The area has a high address density (2,573 per km²) and a mix of ages, with many single-person households and a notable share of residents over 65. The Bilgaard neighbourhood is well served by shops and green spaces.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Aldi and Jumbo a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: IKC Prins Maurits is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool Sint Thomas is also close by. For secondary education, the nearest school is about a ten-minute walk. The park at Bilgaard is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making the municipality of Leeuwarden easily accessible.

Auto-translated to English by AINormal neighbourhood, nothing special, nothing to complain about. Insulation against cold and noise could be a lot better, mould quickly appears in the bathroom because they're old houses. A few years ago there was a renovation that made some rooms smaller, but no rent reduction.
Auto-translated to English by AIFairly quiet, here and there some events from the neighbourhood panel. Small shopping centre in the middle of Bilgaard very nice. Lots of nature (Leeuwarderbos) just behind the neighbourhood, nice for a walk. Pleasant neighbourhood to find peace and quiet. Regularly cleaned so everything is nice and clean. Only little sociability if you don't fit the picture the neighbourhood paints.
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is extremely cosy and people are quick to help each other. However, there is room for improvement in terms of hygiene. I often see piles of furniture left outside in places where it's clearly not allowed. As soon as people see illegal dumping in one spot, it happens everywhere else. Then suddenly the whole Bilgaard is full of rubbish. Also, the bins are often overflowing.
