NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Ank van der Moerstraat feels light and efficient, with an A energy label keeping things comfortable. At 67 m² it's compact but well laid out, and the price of €350,000 is notably keen, 50% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €693,750, making it the cheapest of the four homes currently for sale here. For context, apartments in Leiden tend to command higher prices per square metre.
Schenkwijk is a quiet, family-oriented part of Leiden, built mostly in the 1980s. Almost 90% of homes are single-family houses, so apartments like this one are relatively rare. The area has a strong sense of community, with many households with children and a mix of ages. Average incomes are in line with the city average. The Schenkwijk neighbourhood is known for its green streets and calm atmosphere.
Your daily routine here is straightforward: a five-minute walk takes you to Albert Heijn or Dirk for groceries, and two primary schools, Basisschool De Wereldwijzer and De Stevenshof, are just around the corner. For secondary education you'd need to travel a bit further, about 2.2 km. The park is a couple of streets away, and the train station is a ten-minute walk, making commutes easy. The municipality of Leiden keeps the area well maintained.
At present the home is listed through several channels, including Kerkvliet Makelaars. The price reflects the smaller floor area compared to the neighbourhood average of 142 m², so it's a realistic entry point into this sought-after pocket of Leiden.
