Meerburg, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hoge Rijndijk sits in a 1920s building, so you get high ceilings and original details. At 93 m² it's a decent size for a two-bedroom home, though the energy label G means heating costs will be significant. The asking price of €425,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €475,900, making it keenly priced compared to other apartments in Leiden.

Another notes: "You can walk to the supermarket in five minutes." The Meerburg neighbourhood has a strong sense of community.
For your morning bread, SPAR is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. There are several schools nearby: Bonaventura College is a five-minute walk, and primary school Kastanjelaan is about ten minutes away. A GP is also within walking distance. The train station is a 2.4 km walk or short cycle, and the municipality of Leiden offers plenty of cultural amenities.

About Hoge Rijndijk 182A, Leiden
The asking price of €425,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €475,900 and the median of €450,000. Apartments in Meerburg sell for an average of €5,468 per m², so at €4,570 per m² this one is priced keenly. However, the energy label G may deter some buyers, which could explain the lower price.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the neighbourhood, only 30% of homes have a label D or lower, so this apartment is less efficient than most. You may want to factor in potential renovation costs for insulation or heating.
Leiden Centraal station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a 10-minute cycle.
A SPAR supermarket is just 331 metres away, so you can grab groceries in a few minutes. Albert Heijn is 872 metres away, and Lidl and Dekamarkt are within a 15-minute walk. For daily shopping, you're well covered.
The neighbourhood recorded 86 total crimes in the latest data, which is moderate for an urban area. Residents describe it as quiet at night but lively during the day. As with any city neighbourhood, it's always wise to check recent crime statistics.
There are several schools within walking distance. Bonaventura College (secondary) is about 550 metres away, and primary school Kastanjelaan is 746 metres away. Daltonschool De Leeuwerik is also nearby at 782 metres. The area has a good mix of primary and secondary education.
The building was constructed in 1920, so it's over a century old. This means you get character features like high ceilings, but also potential maintenance issues. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes were built before 1945, so pre-war construction is common here.
The listing states the floor area is 93 m², but the number of rooms is not specified. Given the size, it likely has two bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent for the exact layout.
