Julianapark, Leeuwarden
NeighbourhoodThis 1930s terraced house on Vincent van Goghstraat sits in a quiet, green corner of Leeuwarden. With 119 m² of living space, it's noticeably roomier than the neighbourhood average, about 28% larger. The price of €359,000 is on the high side compared to the local median of €267,500, but the extra space and energy label C (decent for a pre-war home) help explain it. For context, terraced houses in Leeuwarden vary widely, so this one stands out for its size.
The neighbourhood Julianapark is a peaceful residential area with wide streets and plenty of greenery. Almost all homes are pre-war (100% built before 1945), giving the neighbourhood a consistent, traditional character. It's a mix of ages, roughly a third of residents are between 25 and 45, and a third between 45 and 65, with many families and couples. The park itself is just a couple of streets away, perfect for a stroll. Crime is low, with 59 incidents recorded, which is modest for a city neighbourhood.
For groceries, you have a Lidl just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a five-minute walk away, both within easy reach. Schools are also close: Basisschool De Princenhof is a five-minute walk, and Gomarus College is even closer. The train station is a ten-minute walk, handy for commutes. The municipality Leeuwarden offers a good range of amenities, and the city centre is a short bike ride away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including DES Makelaars. The asking price reflects the generous floor area and the sought-after pre-war character of the street.
