A brand-new detached home in Leiden

This is a rare find: a brand-new detached house in the Merenwijk district, offered for rent by a housing corporation. At €947 per month, the rent is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567, a keen price for a new-build. The home is compact at 36 m², but sits on a generous plot of 8,510 m². For context, the average rental in the area is 84 m², so this is a smaller, more affordable option. See other detached houses in Leiden for comparison.

Frequently asked questions

About Molenaarspad 2, Leiden

Is €947 a fair rent for this home?

Yes, the rent of €947 is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €1,567, making it a keen price. However, the home is compact at 36 m², which is 57% smaller than the average rental in the area (84 m²). So you're paying less for a smaller space, but it's a brand-new detached house with a large plot.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The energy label is A++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. The property is newly built in 2025, so it meets modern insulation and sustainability standards.

How big is the plot and what can I use it for?

The plot is 8,510 m², which is unusually large for a rental home. The listing does not specify a garden or outdoor space, but the size suggests there is plenty of land around the house. You would need to check with the landlord about how the plot is laid out and what parts are for your use.

Is this a housing corporation rental?

Yes, this is a rental from a housing corporation (woningcorporatie). That means the rent is likely regulated and may be subject to income limits. The rent of €947 is below the social housing threshold, so you may qualify for housing benefit depending on your income.

There are several primary schools within walking distance: OBS Kwintijn and R.K. Basisschool de Tweemaster are both about 400 metres away, and Brede School Merenwijk is around 470 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.3 km away.

How far is the train station?

The nearest train station is 3.9 km from the home. That's about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus journey.

What is the neighbourhood like?

Merenwijk-Centrum is a strongly urban area with a high density of addresses. It's a quiet, green neighbourhood with many older residents (40% are 65+). Almost all homes are flats and rental properties. There is a park just 200 metres away, and a supermarket on your doorstep.
