Titus Brandsmalaan 130

Yes, it is very keen. The rent of €673 is 68% below the neighbourhood average of €2,071 for rental properties. This is a social-housing unit, so the price is set well below market rates. In the private sector, apartments in the Gasthuiswijk average around €28 per m², so this 63 m² home would typically cost much more.

The market is fast: rental properties in this neighbourhood are rented out in an average of 17 days. With 66 rentals currently available and 19 recently rented, there is steady turnover. Given the low price, this apartment is likely to attract interest quickly.

Energy label G is the least efficient rating. This means the home will have high heating costs, especially in winter. The property was built in 1958, so insulation is likely minimal. You should expect significant energy bills compared to a modern home.

A Lidl and an AH XL are just around the corner (about 300 m away), so daily groceries are very convenient. A Hoogvliet is a ten-minute walk, and there are also a SPAR and PLUS within about a kilometre. The neighbourhood also has a GP and other shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna and Hema on a nearby square.

Primary school De Astronaut is a five-minute walk away (483 m), and Basisschool De Ley is about 624 m. For secondary education, Leonardo College for Atheneum Havo Mavo is 593 m away, and Auris College Leiden is also nearby. There are plenty of options within walking distance.

Leiden train station is 1.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to other cities straightforward. Bus lines and main roads are also within five minutes, as residents note.

The Gasthuiswijk is a dense urban area with a mix of ages and many single-person households. Residents appreciate the amenities: one says it's "fantastic" with shops and schools nearby. Another notes it's "a fine neighbourhood" where issues are usually resolved. The overall review score is 8.3 out of 10.
