About Herengracht 114, Leiden
The asking price is 129% above the neighbourhood average of €764,909, making it the most expensive of the 11 homes currently for sale in Pancras-Oost. However, with 290 m² of living space, it is also 130% larger than the average home in the area (126 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,034, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €6,444 per m². So while the total price is high, the price per square metre is actually in line with the market.
The home has energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. In the neighbourhood, 27% of homes have label A and 9% have label A+, so there are more efficient homes around. Label C is still acceptable and typical for a historic building of this age (1550). You can expect moderate energy costs.
Very convenient. Albert Heijn is just 191 metres away, so you can pop out for groceries in a couple of minutes. Dekamarkt is 548 metres (a five-minute walk), and there are several other supermarkets within a short stroll. The city centre with its many shops and restaurants is literally on your doorstep.
Primary school De Pionier is 459 metres away, about a five-minute walk. For secondary education, Bonaventura College Burggravenlaan is 781 metres away, and Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden is 876 metres. There are also several other schools within a kilometre, so school runs are easy on foot or by bike.

The neighbourhood recorded 154 total crimes in the latest data, which for a dense city centre is moderate. The area feels safe during the day, and the quiet streets are well-lit.
