Transvaalbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Paul Krugerstraat in Leiden is a small, no-frills home in a lively part of town. With 20 m² of living space, it is a compact space that asks for clever use of every corner. The home was built in 1929 and has an energy label G, so heating costs will be something to factor in. At €397,500, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but it reflects the scarcity of studios in Leiden.
The Transvaalbuurt is a dense, urban area with a young population. Two residents describe it as "a typical student neighbourhood" and "a cosy good neighbourhood". One notes: "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 says: "It is a safe neighbourhood with nice people, I have never had any bad experiences, but sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries, there is a supermarket, station, GP and school all within walking distance, sometimes it is a bit dirty." The neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households and a very high density of addresses, typical of a city-centre area.
For your daily shopping, Jumbo, AH to go and Aldi are all just around the corner. The nearest primary school, Eerste Leidse Schoolvereniging, is a five-minute walk away, and several others are within a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get out of town. The municipality Leiden offers a wide range of amenities, with a restaurant just a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Makelaarsland.

About Paul Krugerstraat 12, Leiden
The asking price is €397,500, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €414,800 but well above the median of €369,000. Given that the average price per m² in the area is €6,386, this studio works out at €19,875 per m², which is high. However, studios are rare in Leiden, and the price reflects that.
