A classic portiekflat in Leiden
This apartment sits in the Burgemeesterswijk, a residential area in Leiden where the streets have an established, lived-in feel. The home is a portiekflat from 1951, set on the third floor of the building. With a last known asking price of €395,000, it came in well below the average for apartments in Leiden, and the price per square metre of €4,540 reflected that position. Compared with the wider neighbourhood market, where the average asking price was €1,045,364, this home was on the low side. This home has not been online since 28 September 2026.
Inside the home
The flat has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over a single floor. The living area was listed at 87 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 77 m². The property has partial double glazing and is heated by gas heaters. It is part of a homeowners' association, so there is a monthly service charge to factor in.
