About Vinkstraat 25, Leeuwarden
At €249,000, this terraced house is priced below the neighbourhood average of €290,278 and the median of €295,000. Given that similar homes in Vogelwijk sell for an average of €316,857, this listing appears keenly priced. However, the home is 88 m², slightly smaller than the neighbourhood average of 95 m², which partly explains the lower price.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label C, while 50% have label D or lower. Label C means reasonable efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs compared to a newer home.
The train station is 2.1 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes it feasible for commuting without a car.

With a price of €249,000 and a floor area of 88 m², this terraced house is a realistic option for a first-time buyer, especially given the keen pricing compared to the neighbourhood average. The energy label C means manageable running costs, and the quiet location is appealing. However, the 1928 build may require some maintenance over time.
