A room in the heart of Leiden
This is a room on Hogewoerd, right in the middle of Leiden's historic centre. The listing did not state an energy label, so the rest of this page was about the street and the neighbourhood rather than the home's energy performance. At €1,011 a month, the rent sat well below the average for rooms in Leiden, which made sense given the compact 29 m² floor area. This home has not been online since 29 October 2026.
The Levendaal-Oost neighbourhood
Levendaal-Oost is a lively, safe pocket of the city where everything is within easy reach, as one resident puts it: "Nice safe neighbourhood where everything is within easy reach." That single review gives it a score of 8.75 out of 10. The area is dominated by single-person households, with many young adults between 15 and 45, so it has a distinctly student-friendly feel. The Levendaal-Oost neighbourhood is part of the wider Binnenstad-Zuid district, which adds to its central character.
Life on the street
Daily errands are simple from here. The Dekamarkt is just around the corner for groceries, with Hoogvliet and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. For school runs, the Stedelijk Gymnasium and Bonaventura College are within a five-minute walk, while the Lorentzschool and Basisschool St. Joseph are a ten-minute walk for younger children. The municipality of Leiden keeps the centre compact, so most of what you need is close by.
