Rijndijkbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 45 m² apartment in a 1875 building on the Zoeterwoudsesingel brings you the charm of a historic street with the convenience of city living. The energy label C means it's reasonably efficient for its age. At €325,000, the asking price is 47% below the neighbourhood average of €609,438, a keen entry point for a home in this part of Leiden, especially compared to other apartments in Leiden.
The neighbourhood Rijndijkbuurt scores a 7.19 out of 10 from two reviews. One resident calls it a "Lovely neighbourhood", "Nice, 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." Another is more critical: "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." The area is densely urban (4,042 addresses per km²) and home to a mix of ages, with many one-person households.
For your morning bread, Dekamarkt is just around the corner, with Hoogvliet and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. The Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden is on your doorstep, and the Bonaventura College is a short walk, both secondary schools. For primary education, Basisschool St. Joseph is a five-minute walk. A park or public garden is just around the corner, and the municipality Leiden offers a wide range of amenities within easy reach.
