Gasthuiswijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Rosenburch sits in the Gasthuiswijk, a busy urban pocket of Leiden. At 55 m² it's compact but efficient, with an energy label C. The asking price of €295,000 is noticeably below the neighbourhood average of €484,167, partly because the home is smaller than many in the area.

GP and the usual shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna, Hema on the nearby square. Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, 'a place to be'." Another notes: "A fine neighbourhood. Sometimes things happen but it's often resolved." The neighbourhood Gasthuiswijk has a mix of housing, mostly flats, and a lively street scene.
Your daily shopping is just around the corner: a Lidl is on your doorstep, and an AH XL is a couple of streets away. For bread or a quick bite, the SPAR and PLUS are within a ten-minute walk. Schools are close too: Basisschool De Ley and Leimundo are both a couple of streets away, and the Leonardo College for secondary education is a five-minute walk.
