Professorenwijk-West, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 1936 apartment on Zeemanlaan sits in a leafy part of Leiden, where the streets are lined with pre-war architecture and the atmosphere is calm. At 120 m² with an E label, it's a spacious home that needs some attention on energy. The asking price of €525,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €741,000, partly because of the energy label and the fact that most homes here are larger family houses. For context, apartments in Leiden tend to be smaller and more expensive per square metre.

There's a lot of greenery and a park nearby." Another notes: "It is always quiet to live there, but when you need something from specific shops, it is necessary to leave the village." The neighbourhood Professorenwijk-West has a high proportion of families with children and a strong sense of community.

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.

About Zeemanlaan 18A, Leiden
The asking price of €525,000 is 29% below the average asking price in Professorenwijk-West (€741,000). However, the average home here is larger (132 m²) and often a family house. Given the 120 m² floor area and E energy label, the price is on the keen side compared to recent sales in the area, which averaged €550,118.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment.
Leiden Centraal station is 400 metres away, about a five-minute walk. That makes it very convenient for commuting to Amsterdam, The Hague or other cities.
