Hugo van Woerdenstraat 7

A corner house with a garden in Lage Mors

This corner house on Hugo van Woerdenstraat sits in a quiet part of Lage Mors, a neighbourhood in Leiden. With 99 m² of living space and a 153 m² plot, it offers a good amount of room for a family or couple. The energy label is C, so heating costs are moderate. At €525,000, the asking price is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €502,733, but given the corner position and garden, it is in line with the market for end-of-terrace houses in Leiden.

Lage Mors: a mixed neighbourhood with room for improvement

Lage Mors is a densely populated area (over 3,000 addresses per km²) with a mix of ages and household types. About 37% of homes are owner-occupied, and 40% are single-family houses. One resident describes it as "going downhill fast," adding: "It used to be a very pleasant neighbourhood. Nowadays, nobody considers others anymore. The maintenance by the municipality and of private gardens is also very poor." This is based on a single review, so it reflects one person's experience. The neighbourhood Lage Mors has a relatively high proportion of one-person households (1,105 out of 2,350 households) and a fair number of families with children (585).

Daily life: shops and schools within walking distance

For daily groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn, Aldi and Dirk are a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools nearby: De Morskring and Basisschool Pacelli are both a couple of streets away. Secondary education is about 1.6 km from the home. The municipality Leiden offers a wide range of amenities, including a park just 200 m away and a restaurant within a five-minute walk.
