Lage Mors, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Roemer Visscherstraat sits in the Leiden neighbourhood Lage Mors. At 55 m² it is compact, but the asking price of €325,000 is the lowest of the 15 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, 35% below the local average. That makes it a keen entry point into the Leiden market, especially compared to other apartments in Leiden.
Lage Mors is a densely built urban area (over 3,000 addresses per km²) with a mix of ages: nearly 40% of homes date from before 1945, the rest from 1970,1990. The population is diverse, many singles, a fair share of over-65s, and a noticeable student presence given the proximity to Leiden University. One resident sums it up bluntly: “It used to be a very pleasant neighbourhood. Nowadays, nobody considers others anymore. The maintenance by the municipality and of private gardens is also very poor.” That’s a single review, so take it as one perspective. For a fuller picture, have a look at the neighbourhood Lage Mors.
Your morning bread run is to Jumbo, just around the corner. For a wider choice, AH to go and Aldi are a ten-minute walk away. Primary schools are close: De Morskring is on your doorstep, Eerste Leidse Schoolvereniging a couple of streets away, and Basisschool Pacelli also within a five-minute walk. The municipality Leiden keeps the city well connected, with a train station a ten-minute walk away and plenty of parks and restaurants nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Hoekstra en van Eck and appears on several channels including Pararius and Funda.

About Roemer Visscherstraat 2A, Leiden
At €325,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Lage Mors, 35% below the neighbourhood average of €502,733. The floor area is 55 m², which is smaller than the local average of 97 m², so the price per m² works out at about €5,909, slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,231. Given the compact size and energy label E, the price is in line with what you’d expect for a small apartment in this part of Leiden.
The energy label is E. That means the home is not very energy-efficient, heating and electricity costs will be higher than in a modern home. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment. You may want to factor in higher monthly energy bills.
Lage Mors is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of pre-war and 1970,1990 housing. It has a large student population and many single-person households.
