About Hommelveld 77, Leiden
The asking price of €325,000 is well below the average sale price in Zijlwijk-Noord, which was €609,800 for the five homes sold recently. That makes this apartment a relatively affordable option in the neighbourhood. However, the home is smaller than many of the single-family houses that dominate the area, so the price reflects the property type and size.
The home has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but it's not as efficient as a modern A-rated home. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. All homes sold recently in the neighbourhood had label B, so this one is slightly less efficient than the local norm.
The nearest train station is 4.4 km from the home. That's about a 15-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The station connects you to Leiden Centraal and other cities, but you'll need wheels or public transport to get there.
There are two primary schools just around the corner: OBS Kwintijn and RK Basisschool de Tweemaster, both about 320 metres away. A third primary, De Dukdalf, is a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the nearest school is 2.2 km away, so a bike ride or bus journey is needed.
