Levendaal-Oost, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Utrechtse Veer sits in one of Leiden's oldest quarters, with a 1750 facade that gives the street a classic Dutch feel. At 65 m² it's compact but efficient, and the price of €299,000 is notably keen, 45% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €539,250. For context, that's partly because the home is smaller than the local norm, but it still makes this one of the more affordable options in the area. Compare with other apartments in Leiden to see how it stacks up.
