Boshuizen, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Peter van Anrooystraat sits in Boshuizen, a quiet corner of Leiden with a surprising mix of student flats and family homes. At €300,000 it is the cheapest of the six homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 18% below the average asking price of €367,000, a keen entry point for a buyer who wants a foothold in the city. For context, the apartments in Leiden market shows a wide spread, so this price reflects the home's compact size and older energy label rather than any issue with the street itself.
Boshuizen feels like its own little world within Leiden, separated from the bustle of the centre. Three residents have rated it 6.3 out of 10. One says: 'I enjoy living here.' Another describes it as 'a rather detached part of Leiden, with a strange mix of student complexes and houses. A lot of noise nuisance.' A third mentions 'many junkies' and rates it poorly. The neighbourhood Boshuizen is densely populated, over 4,000 residents, with many single-person households and a youngish age profile. It is a very urban area (3,888 addresses per km²), so peace and quiet are not guaranteed, but the nearby park offers some green escape.
For your morning bread run, the AH XL is just around the corner, and Lidl and Hoogvliet are a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: the Leonardo College (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool De Ley is about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a GP within walking distance and a restaurant just around the corner. The municipality Leiden is well served by public transport, with the train station a ten-minute walk away, handy for commuting to The Hague or Amsterdam.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Den Elsen Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on Vastgoed Nederland, so it is available through several channels. The energy label is D, which means heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, something to factor into your budget.

About Peter van Anrooystraat 5, Leiden
Yes, it is the cheapest of the six homes currently for sale in Boshuizen and 18% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €367,000. The price reflects the compact 64 m² floor area and the D energy label. For a buyer who values location over size, it is a competitive entry point into Leiden's market.
Boshuizen is a densely populated, very urban area with a mix of student housing and family homes. Residents give it a mixed score of 6.3 out of 10. Some enjoy living there, while others mention noise nuisance and drug-related issues. It is a detached part of Leiden, so you are a bit removed from the city centre but still within walking distance of shops and schools.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.6 km away, about a ten-minute walk. From there you can reach The Hague in 15 minutes and Amsterdam in 40 minutes.
The AH XL supermarket is 500 metres away, with Lidl and Hoogvliet within a kilometre. For schools, the Leonardo College (secondary) is 428 metres away, and Basisschool De Ley is 786 metres. There is also a GP practice 500 metres from the home.
The energy label is D. In Boshuizen, 42.9% of homes for sale have label A, while 28.6% have label D or lower. A D label means the home is less energy-efficient than modern standards, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills. It is worth checking the insulation and heating system before buying.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms, but with 64 m² it is likely a two-bedroom apartment. You would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
