NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Edisonstraat feels light and efficient, built in 2016 with an A+ energy label. At 68 m² it is compact, but the layout makes good use of the space. The asking price of €495,000 is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €650,250, which makes it a keen entry into the market for apartments in Leiden.
Groenoord is a leafy neighbourhood just north of Leiden's centre, with a mix of pre-war houses and modern blocks. The area has a strong urban feel (address density 4,338 per km²) yet the park is just a couple of streets away. Most homes are owner-occupied (64%) and the population is diverse: many families with children, but also a large share of 25-45 year olds. There are no resident reviews available, but the low crime figures and proximity to amenities suggest a settled community. For more context, see the Groenoord neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, Vrije School Mareland, is a five-minute walk, while Stedelijk Gymnasium is even closer for secondary education. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and the train station is 2.1 km away, a manageable cycle. The area falls under the municipality of Leiden, which keeps the streets well-maintained and the parks green.
The home is listed through several channels, including Makelaarsgilde REMAX and Funda. At present, the asking price reflects the compact size, so it is worth a look if you value efficiency and low running costs.
