About Spieghelstraat 26A, Leiden
The asking price of €525,000 is slightly above the average sale price in Lage Mors (€502,733) and the median (€500,000). However, this apartment is larger than average (107 m² vs 97 m²) and has an A energy label, which is rare in a neighbourhood where 50% of homes have a D label or worse. So the price is in line with what you'd expect for a well-insulated, spacious home.
Lage Mors is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It has a mix of ages, with many young adults and older residents. The only review available gives a score of 6 out of 10 and mentions that the neighbourhood has declined, with poor maintenance and a lack of consideration among residents. However, it does have a park nearby and a train station within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other cities.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Morskring (257 m), Eerste Leidse Schoolvereniging (285 m), and Basisschool Pacelli (368 m). For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.6 km away.
Jumbo is just 531 m away, so you can walk there in a few minutes. AH to go and Aldi are both about 1 km away, a ten-minute walk. There are many other supermarkets within 5 km.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means lower heating costs and a smaller environmental footprint. In Lage Mors, only 9.1% of homes have label A, so this is a standout feature.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.

How residents experience their district
Cosy 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.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is quite simple along a road, and there are often students outside in the evenings. It is reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a safe neighbourhood with nice people, I have never had any bad experiences, but sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries, there is a supermarket, station, GP and school all within walking distance, sometimes it is a bit dirty

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a rather detached part of Leiden, with a strange mix of student complexes and houses. A lot of noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, everyone chats with each other on the street. We are kept well informed about what is happening in the neighbourhood via a newsletter. And then an information evening is held. In the playground, the neighbourhood police officer could patrol the area more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThey keep an eye on each other. Everyone has a chat every now and then. More and more young families with children are moving in, so there's a bit more going on. Children playing, nice for the elderly who no longer work but are at home or alone.
