About Hoge Rijndijk 316A, Leiden
The asking price of €439,500 works out at about €5,784 per m², which is above the neighbourhood average of €5,174 per m². However, this is a corner house from 1850, a rare type in Roomburg where most homes were built after 1990. The price reflects its character and plot size. Recently sold homes in the area averaged €659,417, so this is on the lower end of the market.
The home has energy label D. In a neighbourhood where all other available homes have label A, this is less efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. The label is based on the current insulation and installations, so it's worth considering potential improvements.
Built in 1850, this is one of the oldest homes in Roomburg. Only 25% of the neighbourhood's homes date from before 1945. An older house often means solid construction but may need more maintenance. The 116 m² plot is generous for a corner house of this size.
Roomburg is a green, quiet area with a mix of families and older residents. It has a low crime rate and a park just 200 metres away. The neighbourhood is well served by shops and schools, and the city centre of Leiden is a short bike ride away. Public transport includes a train station 3.1 km from the home.
A Lidl and a SPAR are both within 550 metres, so daily shopping is easy. Three primary schools are within 500 metres: School Kastanjelaan (192 m), Willem de Zwijger (470 m) and Kon Julianaschool (488 m). Secondary schools are about 1.7 km away.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 116 m², but that includes the footprint of the house.
