Leerdam buitengebied, Vijfheerenlanden
NeighbourhoodThis two-under-one-roof home on Diefdijk 8 sits in the rural outskirts of Leerdam, surrounded by open fields and greenery. With a plot of 9,600 m², you have an extraordinary amount of outdoor space, rare for a home of this type. The house itself covers 95 m² and dates from 1900, so it has character but will need updating. At €795,000, the price is on the high side compared to other semi-detached houses in Vijfheerenlanden, but the land is the real draw.
The neighbourhood is Leerdam buitengebied, a thinly populated area with just 955 residents and a very low address density (397 addresses per km²). It is a classic rural setting: mostly families, with 85% of homes being single-family houses and 91% owner-occupied. There are no resident reviews available for this area, so the picture comes from the statistics. The neighbourhood Leerdam buitengebied is peaceful and green, with plenty of space.
