About Korevaarstraat 11D, Leiden
The asking price of €330,000 is 36% below the average asking price in Levendaal-West, which is €512,188. However, this apartment is smaller than the neighbourhood average (51 m² vs 54 m²) and has an energy label D, while most other listings in the area have better labels. Given these factors, the price is keen compared to the local market, but the lower energy efficiency is something to factor in.
The energy label is D. This is a middling score: the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with label A or B. In Levendaal-West, most of the current for-sale stock has a better energy label, so this is a point where this apartment differs from the average.
The nearest supermarket is Hoogvliet, just 82 metres away on foot. That's literally on your doorstep. There's also an Ekoplaza at 221 metres, a Dekamarkt at 395 metres, and a SPAR and Albert Heijn within about 500 metres, so you have plenty of choice for daily groceries.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Haanstra Basisschool (364 m) and OBS Lucas van Leyden (368 m) are both about a five-minute walk. For secondary education, the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden is 913 m away, roughly a ten-minute walk. The area has a high density of schools, with 90 within 5 km.
Leiden's main train station is 1.3 km from the apartment. That's about a 15-minute walk or a short cycle ride. From there, you can reach Amsterdam, The Hague, and other cities easily.
Levendaal-West is a very urban, central neighbourhood with a high population density. It's popular with young people and students: most households are single-person, and the largest age group is 25-45. The area has a classic pre-war housing stock and a lively city atmosphere. There are no resident reviews available, but the data shows a vibrant, central location.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. The floor area is 51 m², which typically accommodates one or two rooms plus a living area, but the exact layout is not provided by the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or any outdoor space. Given that this is an apartment in a dense city centre, it is unlikely to have a private garden, but you would need to check the full listing details for confirmation.
