Auto-translated to English by AIHello, there are nice parks to walk in, but unfortunately they are broken up by roads. Community gets a 2 because in my opinion nobody is really connected. No community centre, but also, nobody WANTS to connect with the neighbours either. Houses are poorly renovated. Lots of schools. Good amenities.

About Roomburgerlaan 18, Leiden
The asking price of €345,000 is 43% below the average asking price in the Rijndijkbuurt (€609,438). However, this apartment is also smaller than average (47 m² vs 116 m²).
