A room in the heart of Leiden
This is a room on Hogewoerd 144D in Leiden, a social housing rental in the middle of the city. The listing did not state an energy label, so the rest of this page was mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At 37 m², the floor area is 63% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 99 m², which is typical for a room rather than a full apartment. The last known rent of €1,228 was on the high side compared with the average room price in the area, but the location in the historic centre carried a premium. For context, rooms in Leiden give you a sense of what is available across the city. This home has not been online since 23 September 2026.
Levendaal-Oost
Levendaal-Oost sits in the Binnenstad-Zuid district, a dense and lively part of Leiden. One resident describes it as "Lively and cosy", adding that it is a "Nice safe neighbourhood where everything is within easy reach." That single review gives a score of 8.75 out of 10, so the feedback is positive but based on just one voice. The area is dominated by single-person households, with a high share of residents in their twenties and thirties, and a small number of families with children. It is a very urban setting, with a high address density that reflects the central location. The Levendaal-Oost neighbourhood is compact, so daily life happens on foot.
Life on the street
Hogewoerd is a street where the essentials are close at hand. The Dekamarkt is on your doorstep for everyday groceries, with Hoogvliet just around the corner and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For a bite out, restaurants are also just around the corner, and the park is on your doorstep for a break from the city bustle. Secondary schools are within a short walk, including the Stedelijk Gymnasium and Bonaventura College, while primary schools are a ten-minute walk away. The train station is a short distance from the street, making it easy to get out of the city. The municipality of Leiden is a compact city, so most things are within reach without a car.
