A classic apartment on the Hoge Rijndijk
This apartment sits on a leafy street in Leiden, with the original 1920s character still very much present. At 52 m² it is compact, but the layout makes good use of the space. The last known asking price of €295,000 was well below the neighbourhood average, partly because the home was smaller than most in the area. For context, apartments in Leiden vary widely in size and price, so this one was a relatively affordable entry point. This home has not been online since 7 October 2026.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This was a mid-range label: the home was not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs would be moderate to higher. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have a label D or lower, and 12.5% have label A. No specific energy costs were stated in the listing.
