About Hommelveld 73, Leiden
The asking price of €325,000 is below the average sale price in Zijlwijk-Noord (€609,800), but that average is based on just five sales of larger homes. Given that this is a 60 m² apartment, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a smaller property in this area.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, all sold homes had label B, so this one is below average.
The nearest train station is 4.4 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike or bus to get there.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: OBS Kwintijn and RK Basisschool de Tweemaster are both about 350 m away, and De Dukdalf is about 660 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 2.2 km away.
