Pieterswijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits right in the thick of Leiden's historic centre, where the streets hum with students and tourists day and night. At 171 m² it's a generous size for a city-centre home, and with a price of €695,000 it's on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average. For context, apartments in Leiden vary widely, but this one stands out for its floor area.
Pieterswijk is the beating heart of Leiden, packed with students, restaurants, and the Hortus Botanicus. One resident describes it as "busy but cosy", adding: "There's not only daytime bustle from tourists but also in the evening from all the students walking through the neighbourhood. Personally, I find it very cosy and not disturbing." They note that getting around by car can be tricky, and that greenery is limited. The neighbourhood Pieterswijk is dominated by one-person households, and most homes were built before 1945.
For daily groceries, Ekoplaza is on your doorstep, and Hoogvliet is just around the corner. There are several primary schools within a five-minute walk, including Haanstra Basisschool and OBS Lucas van Leyden. The municipality Leiden offers plenty of restaurants and cultural spots, all within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Graal Makelaardij and also appears on Funda and Pararius.

It's right in the centre of Leiden, between the 3 associations. There's not only daytime bustle from tourists but also in the evening from all the students walking through the neighbourhood. Personally, I find it very cosy and not disturbing. Furthermore, there are plenty of nice little restaurants and a supermarket nearby. You live close to the water and the Hortus, so there's plenty to do. Unfortunately, getting into this neighbourhood by car is a bit of a course because you're not allowed everywhere and sometimes you have to take huge detours. In my opinion, there isn't enough greenery in the neighbourhood; we do have a park, but more trees could be planted in the streets and surroundings. Most of the greenery is often from the people who live there, not from the municipality. Otherwise, I'd say the housing situation is fine. There are some association houses, owner-occupied houses, and plenty of rental properties.

About Dwars Koornbrugsteeg 8A, Leiden
The asking price of €695,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €600,000 and the average sold price of €564,323. However, this apartment is 171 m², which is 51% larger than the neighbourhood average of 113 m². The price per m² works out to about €4,064, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €7,430 per m², so you're getting more space for your money.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, about 35% of homes have a label of D or lower, so this is not unusual for a historic building from 1750.
