A corner house with character
This 1920s corner house on Hoge Rijndijk sits in a leafy part of Leiden, with a generous 345 m² plot and 138 m² of living space. The energy label was D, which was worth noting because most homes for sale in the neighbourhood had a better rating. At €750,000, the price was on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €699,500, but the plot size and corner position add value. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Leiden vary widely in price and size. This home has not been online since 16 September 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Hoge Rijndijk 219, Leiden
Was €750,000 a fair price for this corner house?
The asking price of €750,000 was above the neighbourhood average of €699,500 and the average sold price of €659,417. However, this home has a large plot of 345 m² and is a corner house, which typically commands a premium. The price per m² was about €5,435, which was slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,174 per m². Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra land and the corner position.
What is the energy label D like in practice?
Energy label D means the home is moderately efficient. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a home with label A or B. In Roomburg, all other homes at the time for sale had label A or better, so this home was less efficient than the local competition. It may be worth budgeting for potential improvements like better insulation or a more efficient heating system.
