About Jan Keldermansstraat 2, Leiden
The asking price of €500,000 is exactly in line with the average sale price in the neighbourhood (€500,455). However, the median price is much lower at €285,000, which reflects a wide range of property types. Given that this end-of-terrace house is larger than average (136 m² vs 105 m²), the price per m² is around €3,676, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,988 per m². So it appears reasonably priced for its size.
Energy label G is the least efficient label, so you can expect high heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration and does not necessarily mean the property is poorly insulated in every aspect,it could be due to the heating system. In the neighbourhood, 83.1% of homes have label A or better, so this home stands out as less efficient. Budgeting for higher energy bills is advisable.

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.
