Frequently asked questions
About Damloperwerf 2, Leiden
Is €575,000 a fair price for this end-of-terrace house?
The asking price of €575,000 is 51% below the average asking price in Zijlwijk-Zuid (€1.17 million), but the home is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (114 m² vs 213 m²). Compared to recent sales in the area, which averaged €604,182, the price is in line with what buyers have been paying. Given the energy label D and the need for potential upgrades, the price seems competitive.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D, which is average for a house built in 1975. In Zijlwijk-Zuid, most homes for sale have better labels (A, B or C), so this one may require more attention to heating costs. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a more efficient home, but the lower purchase price may offset that.

Experiences from Leiden
How residents experience their municipality
Living here is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious and affordable apartment with 90m2 floor area. Indoor route to the supermarket. GP and the usual shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna, Hema on the nearby square. Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, "a place to be".
Auto-translated to English by AII enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a rather detached part of Leiden, with a strange mix of student complexes and houses. A lot of noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, everyone chats with each other on the street. We are kept well informed about what is happening in the neighbourhood via a newsletter. And then an information evening is held. In the playground, the neighbourhood police officer could patrol the area more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThey keep an eye on each other. Everyone has a chat every now and then. More and more young families with children are moving in, so there's a bit more going on. Children playing, nice for the elderly who no longer work but are at home or alone.
