Rapenburg 65-1

A room with a view, and a lot of space

This is a room on the historic Rapenburg in Leiden, but with a floor area of 1,296 m² it is anything but ordinary. The listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,100 it is well below the neighbourhood average for a rental home, but that is because it is a room, the average room in the area goes for around €750. For more context, see rooms in Leiden.

Academiewijk, student life at its core

Academiewijk is the heart of Leiden's student district. With 1,940 residents and a household size of just 1.3, it is dominated by single-person households, many of them students. The area has a very high density of addresses (5,351 per km²), making it one of the most urban parts of the city. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the data: a young, lively population with a strong transient feel.

Daily life on the Rapenburg

For your morning bread, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and SPAR is a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Haanstra Basisschool, is a five-minute walk, while OBS Lucas van Leyden is also within easy reach. The Rapenburg itself is one of Leiden's most famous canals, lined with monumental buildings and buzzing with activity.

At the time of writing the home is listed via Finke Makelaars and also appears on Pararius. The agent has not published an energy label, so that detail is missing from the listing.
