About Burggravenlaan 160, Leiden
The asking price of €350,000 is 18% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€426,800) and also below the median of €375,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (61 m² vs 85 m²). Given the lower price per m² (€5,738 vs the neighbourhood average of €5,053), it appears priced for its size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home built in 1959. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have label C, and about a third have a lower label. You can expect moderate energy costs, but not the highest efficiency.
