NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Morsweg in Leiden's Transvaalbuurt is a compact home with an excellent energy label A, which is rare for a building from 1929.

The Transvaalbuurt is a lively, urban area with a high density of addresses. Based on two reviews, residents describe it as a typical student neighbourhood: "The neighbourhood is quite simple along a road, and there are often students outside in the evenings. It is reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed." Another resident calls it "a cosy good neighbourhood" and notes it is safe with nice people, though bikes sometimes get stolen and it can be a bit dirty. The neighbourhood has many single-person households and a young population, with most homes built before 1945. Learn more about the neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt.

About Morsweg 33, Leiden
The asking price of €329,000 is 21% below the neighbourhood average of €414,800, but the apartment is also 46% smaller than the average floor area. Given the compact size and excellent energy label A, the price is in line with what you would expect for a small, efficient home in this area.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. For a 1929 building, that is exceptional and means low heating costs. In the Transvaalbuurt, only 20% of homes have label A, so this is a standout feature.
Residents say it is reasonably safe as long as doors are closed, and one notes no major burglaries, though bikes are sometimes stolen. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 146, which is moderate for a dense urban area.
The train station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk.

There are 15 apartments for sale in the Transvaalbuurt, with prices ranging from €260,000 to €779,000. The average price per m² is €6,386, so this apartment at €7,311 per m² is slightly above that, but the energy label compensates.
