A calm, spacious apartment in Leiderdorp
This apartment on Laan Van Berendrecht 252 sits in a quiet corner of Leiderdorp, with a floor area of 135 m² that feels genuinely roomy. Built in 2003, it has an A energy label, so heating costs should be low. The rent of €1,915 is a bit above the neighbourhood average for rentals, but the space you get is well above what is typical here, the floor area is 48% larger than the local average of 91 m². That puts the price in perspective: you are paying for extra square metres, not for a standard flat. For context, apartments in Leiderdorp vary widely, and this one stands out for its size.
