Pieterswijk
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.
Life on the street
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.

Frequently asked questions
About Dwars Koornbrugsteeg 8A, Leiden
Is €695,000 a fair price for this apartment?
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.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
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.
