Hoge Mors, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis detached home on Rhijnhofweg in Leiden is a rare find: a monumental property from 1774 with a huge plot of 4,424 m². With 214 m² of living space and an energy label G, it's a project for those who appreciate character over efficiency. At €2,380,000, it's the most expensive home currently for sale in the neighbourhood and sits 292% above the average asking price, clearly a unique offering. For context, detached houses in Leiden are scarce at this level.
The neighbourhood Hoge Mors scores a 7.81 out of 10 from two residents. One describes it as a "nice neighbourhood with park", a cosy area with many elderly residents, a beautiful park and a dog walking area, though shops are limited and the park lacks lighting. Another calls it "a great home in a nice neighbourhood" with plenty of space and a park for children. The area is very urban (address density 2,974 per km²) and home to many singles and couples without children.
For groceries, you have Albert Heijn, Dirk and Jumbo all about a ten-minute walk away. Schools are close too: Basisschool De Wereldwijzer and De Stevenshof are just a couple of streets away. A park is within a five-minute walk, and a restaurant is even closer. The municipality Leiden offers all urban amenities, yet this home sits in a leafy, quiet spot.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via i4 Housing B.V. and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Cosy 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.

About Rhijnhofweg 2B, Leiden
The asking price is 292% above the neighbourhood average of €607,438 and it's the most expensive of the 16 homes currently for sale in Hoge Mors. However, this is a monumental detached home from 1774 with a huge plot, so it's in a completely different league from the typical home in the area. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the history and space.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. Heating costs will be high, and you'll likely want to invest in insulation, double glazing or a modern heating system. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not uncommon for older properties.
The plot measures 4,424 m², which is exceptionally large for a home in Leiden. The listing does not specify a garden, but with that much land, there is plenty of outdoor space. You could create a large garden, add a studio or even develop part of the land, subject to planning permission.
Hoge Mors is a very urban area with a mix of ages, though many residents are elderly. Two reviews give it a 7.81 average. One resident highlights the park and dog walking area but notes few shops and some issues with homeless people in the park at night. Another praises the nice people and space for children.
The nearest train station is 2.0 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short cycle. Leiden's main station offers connections to Amsterdam, The Hague and other cities.
Yes, several primary schools are within walking distance. Basisschool De Wereldwijzer and De Stevenshof are both about 700 m away, and De Morskring is about 1.2 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.6 km away.
