De Waard, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 73 m² apartment on Overrijn 6A sits in a quiet part of Leiden, with a park just a couple of streets away. Built in 1978 and carrying an A energy label, it's both solid and efficient. At €479,000, the price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €441,188, but given the high energy rating and the fact that only 16 homes are currently for sale in De Waard, it's in line with what you'd expect for a well-maintained flat. For context, apartments in Leiden typically sell for around €6,517 per m².
De Waard is a residential neighbourhood with a strong family feel, 74% of homes are single-family houses, and 42% are owner-occupied. The area is very urban (5,157 addresses per km²), yet it has a park on your doorstep. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the mix of ages, many 25-45 year olds and a good number of children, suggests a lively community. Average household size is 1.9, with a fair share of singles and families alike. The neighbourhood De Waard is well served by local amenities.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet is a five-minute walk away. Two primary schools, De Pionier and De Springplank, are within a five-minute walk, making the school run a doddle. The Bonaventura College for secondary education is also a short stroll away. A restaurant and a park are both a couple of streets away, so evenings and weekends are well catered for. The municipality Leiden offers a rich cultural scene, with the city centre a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Kerkvliet Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so you have a couple of channels to explore.
