Frequently asked questions
About Tomatenstraat 15, Leiden
Is €489,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €489,000 is below the neighbourhood median of €585,000, but the apartment is also larger than average (113 m² vs 83 m²). The price per m² works out at about €4,327, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €6,787 per m². So the price seems in line with the market, especially given the extra space.
What is the energy label D worth?
Energy label D is the official registration for this home. It means the property is not in the most efficient category, so you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, most homes for sale have a better label (77% A+), but label D does not necessarily mean poor insulation, it could be due to the heating system.
How is the public transport connection?
The nearest train station is 0.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other cities.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
Cronestein has a young population: many residents are between 25 and 45, and there are relatively few households with children (310 out of 3,380 households). The neighbourhood has several primary schools within walking distance, but it is more of an urban, student-friendly area than a classic family suburb.
Are there any shops nearby?
Yes, the PLUS supermarket is just 489 m away, so you can walk there in about five minutes. A Lidl is 565 m away, and an AH XL is 767 m away. For other amenities like a restaurant (0.3 km) and a GP (0.8 km), you are also well covered.
How safe is Cronestein?
The neighbourhood recorded 213 total crimes in the latest data. That is a figure you can compare with other areas, but without context it is hard to judge. The neighbourhood review mentions it as varied, but does not specifically comment on safety.

Experiences from Roodenburgerdistrict
How residents experience their district
Police often around. On the grass field where children play, dogs are often walked and the owners leave the dog poop lying around.
Auto-translated to English by AINice, friendly neighbourhood where people see each other and help where they can. The authentic appearance of the houses and convenient location relative to the centre of Leiden
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close to EVERYTHING - which is super nice, especially the station! The centre is also nice and close. The people are friendly and not loud. There's a lot of greenery and a park nearby. It's great!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is always quiet to live there, but when you need something from specific shops, it is necessary to leave the village. This also applies to restaurants or clubs, for example. It is a beautiful area along the water, but real parks or forests are missing here.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood growing up in a neighbourhood like this and a nice environment for a dog
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.

Experiences from Leiden
How residents experience their municipality
Living here is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious and affordable apartment with 90m2 floor area. Indoor route to the supermarket. 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".
Auto-translated to English by AII enjoy living here.
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.
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.
