Pesthuiswijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Bargelaan sits in a lively part of Leiden, where the city's historic centre and the green of the Pesthuiswijk meet.

The asking price of €675,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that reflects the quality and size, there are only five apartments for sale in the area, so supply is tight.
