About Groenhazengracht 4A, Leiden
The asking price is 57% below the average asking price in Academiewijk (€1,385,417), but the apartment is also smaller than average (99 m² vs 205 m²). Given the historic character and central location, the price is keen compared to other listings in the neighbourhood.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. The entire neighbourhood consists of pre-1945 buildings, so this is common for historic properties in the area.
Academiewijk is very urban with a high density of shops, restaurants and services. A supermarket is within a five-minute walk, and there are several primary schools nearby. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre is on your doorstep.
The neighbourhood has a young population, with many students and singles. Only 7% of households have children. The housing stock is mostly apartments, and 30% are owner-occupied. This home would suit someone who values a central, lively location over space.
Sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 59 days to sell, which is fairly typical for a city centre. The current supply is limited (6 apartments for sale), so well-priced homes tend to attract interest.
In the most recent data, 102 crimes were recorded in the neighbourhood. Given the high population density and central location, this is within the expected range for a city centre area.
