About Rijn En Schiekade 95A, Leiden
At €450,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the 7 homes currently for sale in Vreewijk and 26% below the average asking price of €606,143 in the neighbourhood. Given the 113 m² floor area and the central location, it's priced keenly compared to other listings. However, the energy label D and the 1880 construction year mean you should factor in higher energy costs and potential maintenance.
