Witte Singel 77

A classic Leiden apartment on the Witte Singel

This 80 m² apartment sits on one of Leiden's most picturesque canals, in a building that dates back to 1892. The home has an E energy label, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €525,000, the asking price is below the neighbourhood median of €550,000, and the price per m² of €6,563 is above the local average of €5,125, partly because the floor area is 28% smaller than the typical 111 m² in the area. Compared to other apartments in Leiden, this is a fairly keen price for a canal-side property.

The Vreewijk neighbourhood

Vreewijk is a compact, urban neighbourhood just south of Leiden's historic centre. With an address density of 4,964 per km², it's very densely built up. The area has a mix of ages: many students and young professionals, but also a fair share of over-65s. Most homes are owner-occupied (73%), and the housing stock is almost entirely pre-war. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is based purely on statistics. The Vreewijk neighbourhood is known for its leafy streets and proximity to the city centre.

Life on the street

For daily groceries, the SPAR on the Singel is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and Hoogvliet are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: OBS Lucas van Leyden is on your doorstep, and Haanstra Basisschool is just around the corner. For secondary education, the nearest school is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the city centre with its restaurants and cafés is just around the corner. The municipality of Leiden offers a compact, historic setting with all amenities close at hand.
