Marewijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 18th-century free-standing house on Koddesteeg sits in the heart of Leiden's lively centre. With 36 m² of living space and a tiny 38 m² plot, it's compact but full of character. The energy label G means heating costs will be high, but the asking price of €345,000 is 28% below the neighbourhood average, a keen price for a detached houses in Leiden.

The neighbourhood Marewijk has a young, transient feel.

My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature. You occasionally see a tree, but you can't really call it green. Some initiative in this regard would be a good improvement. I am satisfied with almost all other aspects. For example, the supermarket, pharmacy and GP are nearby, and the underground waste bins are very convenient. The only other downside is that there is often a lot of noise from students and partygoers, but nothing unexpected. It's also true that there isn't really a strong neighbourhood feel. There are a few neighbours with whom we occasionally have a drink, but I don't even speak to the majority. This can be attributed to the fact that many students live here and is therefore not a serious drawback for me.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden. The station is also nearby and everything can be visited by bus. I don't feel unsafe when I come home late at night, as the neighbourhood is lively and so far there are no weird types around. In terms of nature, it could be better, but you can't expect that in the middle of a city. Fortunately, you only have to cycle or run a short distance to discover nature. It's a shame there is so little housing, while so many students are looking for a room, because I would definitely recommend the neighbourhood.

About Koddesteeg 40, Leiden
The asking price is 28% below the neighbourhood average of €476,500, which makes it keen. However, the home is small (36 m²) and has an energy label G, so running costs will be higher. Comparable homes in Marewijk sold for an average of €373,182, so the price is in line with the market when you factor in the size and energy efficiency.
Marewijk is a very urban, student-heavy area with a lively atmosphere. Residents appreciate the proximity to shops, the centre and the station, but note a lack of nature and some noise from students. There isn't a strong neighbourhood feel, but it's safe and convenient.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride.
The SPAR is just 34 metres away, Dirk is 189 metres, and Albert Heijn is 428 metres. For daily groceries, you're well covered within a few minutes' walk.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating costs. The home dates from 1750, so insulation and heating systems are likely outdated.
The plot is 38 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. Given the small size and central location, outdoor space is likely limited to a small courtyard if any.
