Frequently asked questions
About Kolffpad 313, Leiden
Is €793 a fair price for this room?
The rent is €793 per month for a 22 m² room. In the Pesthuiswijk, the average rent for a room is around €753, so this sits slightly above that figure. The room is in a 2023 building, which is newer than much of the housing stock in the area. Whether it is fair depends on what you value, but the price is not far off the local average for rooms.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy register. Label B is a reasonably efficient label, so the energy costs for a room of this size should be manageable. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance.
How long do rooms in this neighbourhood stay on the market?
Homes in the Pesthuiswijk are rented out on average within 17 days. That gives an idea of how quickly rooms and flats move here. For a room in a new building, the demand is likely to be similar. If you are interested, it is worth being ready to respond.
What is the neighbourhood like for students?
The Pesthuiswijk is a very urban area, with a high address density and a population dominated by people between 15 and 45. Most households are single people, which fits a student-oriented area. There is a park nearby, and the train station is about 1.4 km away. It is a busy, lively part of Leiden rather than a quiet residential street.
What shops and schools are close by?
For groceries, the nearest is an AH to go at about 500 metres, with an Aldi and a Jumbo within 600 to 800 metres.

A primary school, De Leidse Houtschool, is also close at about 460 metres.
Is this social housing?
Yes, this room is marked as social housing. That means it is let through a social housing provider, in this case Roommatch, and the rent is set within the social housing limits.
