What does it cost to rent in Leeuwarden?
The Leeuwarden dataset for June and July 2026 contained enough adverts for a monthly average. Rooms, apartments and larger homes still create a wide spread.
Student housing can have a lower total rent but a high price per room or square metre. Compare self-containment, floor area and included costs separately.
