Frequently asked questions
About Zuster Meijboomstraat 175, Leiden
Is €1,875 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,875 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €1,835 for rentals, but the apartment's 84 m² is exactly the average size for rentals here. At €21.85 per m², it matches the going rate per square metre. Given that only one other rental is currently available, the price is in line with what the market asks.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. A B label indicates a reasonably efficient home, so you can expect moderate energy costs. It does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
Albert Heijn and Dirk are both just around the corner, about 236 metres away. That makes daily shopping very convenient. For a Jumbo, you would walk about 1.1 kilometres, which is a pleasant stroll or a short cycle.
Which schools are nearby?
Anne Frank primary school is right on your doorstep, just 78 metres away. Basisschool De Wereldwijzer and De Stevenshof are both about 500 metres from the apartment. For secondary education, the nearest school is about 2.6 kilometres away, so older children would need to travel a bit further.
How far is the train station?
