The Cronestein neighbourhood
One resident describes the area as varied in housing, with social housing and owner-occupied homes side by side, an industrial estate in the middle, high-rise flats to the east and mainly terraced houses to the north-west. They also note that the neighbourhood sits on Lammeschansweg, almost directly on the motorway, so it is easily accessible, with amenities like a Plus, Intersport and Gamma nearby. That is based on one review. The neighbourhood is strongly urban, with a high address density, and most households are single people. This is the Cronestein neighbourhood.

For daily shopping, the Plus is just around the corner, and a SPAR and Lidl are a ten-minute walk away. There is also an AH XL a bit further out. For schools, the Da Vinci College Lammenschans is a couple of streets away, and the Islamitische Basisschool Er Riseleh and Lorentzschool are both within a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk from the home. This all sits within the municipality of Leiden.

Frequently asked questions
About Sigmaplantsoen 503, Leiden
Is €599 a fair price for this room?
At €599 per month, this room is 54% below the neighbourhood average rent of €1,304. The average room in the area goes for €1,002, so this is well under that too. The floor area is 23 m², which is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 52 m², but the price reflects that. It is social housing, which explains the lower rent.
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 label register. Label B is a reasonably efficient label, so you can expect moderate energy costs for a room of this size. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 0.7 km from the home, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to get around without a car. The neighbourhood is also close to the motorway, as one resident notes, so it is accessible by road as well.
