NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hoge Rijndijk sits in a lively part of Leiden, with the city centre just a short walk away. This listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €800,000, the asking price is 31% above the neighbourhood average of €609,438, which is on the high side given the 52 m² floor area, 55% smaller than the local average. For context, apartments in Leiden vary widely in price and size.
Rijndijkbuurt is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a mix of old and new. Two residents have shared their views: one describes it as a "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." The other is less enthusiastic: "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." Based on these two reviews, opinions are mixed. The area has a high address density (4,042 per km²), typical of a very strong urban setting. Most homes are pre-war (87.5%), and half of the housing stock has an energy label D or lower. For more on the area, see the Rijndijkbuurt neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: a SPAR supermarket is just around the corner, and a Dekamarkt is a couple of streets away. For a bigger shop, Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. Schools are plentiful, the Bonaventura College Burggravenlaan is on your doorstep, and the Stedelijk Gymnasium is a five-minute walk. Primary school St. Joseph is a short stroll away. The neighbourhood has several parks within walking distance, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Leiden.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Barnhoorn Bedrijfsmakelaardij B.V. The listing does not include an energy label, so the home's energy performance is not stated.
