Rijndijkbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Hoge Rijndijk in Leiden combines a 1920s shell with a modern energy label A. At 51 m² it is compact, but the price of €369,000 is 39% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €609,438, a keen entry point into the market. For context, the average price per m² in the area is €5,665, so this home is priced in line with that metric. If you are looking at apartments in Leiden, this one stands out for its efficiency.
The Rijndijkbuurt is a mixed urban area with a strong address density of 4,042 addresses per km², making it very lively. Two residents have shared their views: one calls it a "Lovely neighbourhood", "Nice, friendly neighbourhood where people see each other and help where they can. The authentic appearance of the houses and convenient location relative to the centre of Leiden." Another gives a more mixed review: "there are nice parks to walk in, but unfortunately they are broken up by roads. Community gets a 2 because in my opinion nobody is really connected. No community centre, but also, nobody WANTS to connect with the neighbours either. Houses are poorly renovated. Lots of schools. Good amenities." So the area has its charms and its drawbacks. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (650 out of 1,285 households) and a mix of ages. For more on the area, see the Rijndijkbuurt neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, the SPAR is just around the corner, and a Dekamarkt is a ten-minute walk away. There are several schools within walking distance: Bonaventura College Burggravenlaan and Bonaventura Agora Leiden are both a couple of streets away, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium is a five-minute walk. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. The city centre of Leiden is also within easy reach.

At the time of writing the home is listed only via Apollo Makelaardij Regio Leiden.
