As the most beautiful city of cities, Leiden is at the top. There are beautiful old streets, the market and the town hall. I really love hearing that peculiar 'r', Leiden feels like home. And let them talk about what could be better, should be better and would be better. There is always something that could be better, but Leiden really, I love you!

About Korte Mare 32B, Leiden
The asking price is 35% below the average asking price in Noordvest (€702,727) and also below the median (€595,000). However, this apartment is smaller than average (65 m² vs 112 m²). Given the compact size and central location, the price is keen compared to other listings in the neighbourhood.
Noordvest is the historic centre of Leiden, very densely built with narrow streets and old buildings. It's a lively area with many students and singles. The resident review highlights the beautiful old streets and the market. The crime rate is relatively high (321 incidents), typical for a city centre.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk. That gives you direct trains to Amsterdam, The Hague, and other major cities.
Dirk is just 56 metres away on Korte Mare itself. SPAR is 218 metres, Jumbo 415 metres, and Albert Heijn 565 metres. You have plenty of options for daily groceries within a few minutes' walk.
With 65 m² and one bedroom (typical for this size), it's more suited to a single person or a couple. The neighbourhood has few families (only 100 households with children) and many one-person households. Schools are nearby, but the space is limited.
Energy label D is average for a pre-war building. It means the home is not as efficient as modern builds, so expect higher heating costs. The building year is 1901, so insulation may be limited. You can improve efficiency with measures like double glazing.
