About Vliet 5B, Leiden
The asking price of €650,000 is 53% below the average asking price in the Academiewijk (€1,385,417) and also below the median of €837,500. However, the apartment is smaller than average (97 m² vs 205 m²). Given the historic location and the fact that similar homes in the area sell for around €684,000 on average, the price appears competitive.
The energy label is C, which is typical for a pre-war building. This means the home has reasonable insulation but heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. The neighbourhood has no homes with labels A or B, all properties are label D or lower, so a C is actually above average for the area.
Excellent. Ekoplaza is just around the corner (291 m), SPAR is a five-minute walk (427 m), and Hoogvliet is also close by (464 m). For other errands, the city centre with its many shops and services is within a few minutes' walk.
