Method: each source value is adjusted from its valuation date to current prices using the CBS price index for existing owner-occupied homes (by province, or by city for Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Den Haag and Utrecht; the national monthly index is used for the most recent months). The midpoint is the weighted average; the range reflects the variation between sources (at least 5%). The home's condition, location along the street, ground lease and individual features are not taken into account. This is not a valuation.

In the neighbourhood of Franeker Schalsumerplan en Arkens, 42% of homes have higher noise levels than at this address; the average there is 51 dB.
Quiet: typical noise levels for a residential street. Noticeable during the day if you listen for it, but quiet enough at night to leave a window open. The main source is air traffic (44 dB).
Source and methodology
Lden: annual average noise exposure across the day, evening and night (RIVM noise maps 2020, air traffic 2022, wind turbines 2024, 10 m grid). A rough guide, not a measurement at the façade. The WHO recommends a maximum of 53 dB for road traffic and 45 dB for air traffic.
Flooding
1,38 m Significant
If this area floods, the maximum water depth map shows that water here could reach a depth of 1,38 m.
- Homes in Franeker Schalsumerplan en Arkens that could flood
- 100%
- Of these: water depths over 0.5 m
- 100%
- Maximum depth in the neighbourhood
- 1,50 m
Significant: the ground floor may flood, damaging floors, the kitchen and building services. A dry upper floor to retreat to and an electrical distribution board raised above floor level are valuable here; ask about previous flooding. The likelihood of this happening is low (1 in 300 to 1 in 3,000 per year): the depth indicates what would happen in a flood, while the likelihood indicates how often.
Source and methodology
LIWO (Rijkswaterstaat), maximum flood depth map, 25 m grid; flood probability: Klimaateffectatlas. The depth does not indicate how likely flooding is; dykes and flood barriers are designed to account for that probability.
Air quality
- NO₂ 5,7 µg/m³ within WHO guidelines
- PM2,5 6,2 µg/m³ above WHO guidelines
- PM10 12,4 µg/m³ within WHO guidelines
Polluted air: above the European limits for 2030, usually due to a nearby busy road, industry or intensive livestock farming. This matters for people with respiratory problems and for young children; ventilating on the quieter side of the home helps.
Average in Franeker Schalsumerplan en Arkens: NO₂ 5,7, PM2.5 6,2 µg/m³.

Annual average concentrations at 25 m resolution (RIVM, latest map). Marker on the bar: WHO guideline value (NO₂ 10, PM2.5 5, PM10 15 µg/m³); the colour shows the comparison with the WHO guideline and the EU limit for 2030.
Light at night
Dark
darkvery bright
Average in Franeker Schalsumerplan en Arkens: dark.
Dark: among the darkest places in the Netherlands. Stars are visible, and it is easy to sleep without blackout curtains.
Source and methodology
Upward artificial light measured by satellites (RIVM light emission map 2023, 375 m grid), classified relative to all homes in the Netherlands: dark means the darkest 20%, very bright the brightest 10%.
Green space in the neighbourhood
71% green space within 500 m
Average in Franeker Schalsumerplan en Arkens: 64%.
Plenty of greenery: trees, grass and shrubs dominate the surroundings. Greenery cools the neighbourhood on hot days, reduces noise, traps particulate matter and encourages physical activity; research links it to lower stress levels.
Source and methodology
Proportion of green space (grass, shrubs and trees) in the 500 m grid cell around this address (RIVM green space map 2022). Half of homes in the Netherlands have more than 52% green space within 500 m; one in ten has less than 32%.
Air traffic above this address
During the monitoring period, no aircraft were detected below 3,000 m within 2 km of this address: air traffic has no impact on daily life here.

As a rule of thumb, a passenger aircraft at an altitude of 1,000 m produces a peak outdoor noise level of around 60–65 dB (a loud conversation), rising to 75–80 dB at 300 m. Above 3,000 m, it blends into the background noise.
Source and methodology
ADS-B position reports broadcast by aircraft via the open networks adsb.lol and adsb.fi. Every 5 minutes, Huisleon takes a snapshot of all aircraft below 3,000 m over the Netherlands and uses their measured speeds to estimate the number of flights passing within 2 km. Military aircraft and some small aircraft do not broadcast their positions and are not included. Noise contours: RIVM Atlas Leefomgeving, air traffic 2022. These are indicative figures, not noise measurements at the façade.

Even on hot days, heat stress around the home remains moderate; the surrounding area cools down reasonably well in the evening. A wind turbine within 1 km produces an audible swishing sound when it is windy and shadow flicker inside the home when the sun is low.
