Frequently asked questions

About Joseph Haydnlaan 70, Leiden

Is €270,000 a fair price for this apartment?

The asking price of €270,000 is 44% below the average asking price in Fortuinwijk-Zuid (€480,300), but the apartment is also smaller than average at 47 m². The price per square metre works out at about €5,745, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,768 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium for the compact size.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The energy label is D. This is a mid-range rating, not the most efficient, but not the worst either. In the neighbourhood, 41.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.

How is the neighbourhood for daily shopping?

Very convenient. The nearest supermarket, Hoogvliet, is just 140 metres away, on your doorstep. Jumbo is about 660 metres, a ten-minute walk. There are also several other supermarkets within a kilometre, including an AH XL. For daily groceries, you won't need to go far.

What schools are nearby?

There are several schools within walking distance. Montessorischool Apollo (primary) is 121 metres away, and De Astronaut (primary) is 372 metres. For secondary education, Het Vlietland College is 291 metres away. There are also special education schools nearby, like Korte Vlietsch for ZMLK at 175 metres.

How far is the train station?

Leiden Centraal station is 2.3 km from the apartment. That's about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle ride.

What is the neighbourhood like in terms of safety?

The neighbourhood recorded 78 total crimes in the latest data, which for a densely populated urban area (2,504 addresses per km²) is moderate. The resident review mentions a 'calming environment', suggesting it feels safe and peaceful.

Is this a good area for singles or couples?

Yes, the neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households (675 out of 1,235 households) and few households with children (195). The average household size is 1.7, so it's very much a place for singles and couples. The apartment itself is compact at 47 m², which suits that lifestyle.
