Frequently asked questions
About Rooseveltstraat 137, Leiden
Is €2,275 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking rent is €2,275 per month for an 80 m² apartment, which works out at about €28.44 per m². That is above the neighbourhood average of €2,090 and the median of €2,033 for rentals, so it is on the high side. The energy label A+ is very efficient, which could help keep running costs down, but the rent itself reflects a premium.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A+, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared with less efficient properties. The label is an official registration, but it does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is about 1.4 km from the apartment. That's roughly a 15-20 minute walk or a short cycle. The neighbourhood is well connected, with bus lines and main roads nearby, as one resident noted.

There are several supermarkets within a short distance. Hoogvliet is about 692 m away, Lidl 726 m, and AH XL 731 m. A PLUS is at 925 m and a SPAR at 1,249 m. So you have plenty of options for daily shopping, all within a ten-minute walk or so.
What schools are in the area?

Auto-translated to English by AICosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.
