A leafy spot in Vogelwijk
This semi-detached house sits on Van Eijsingapark, a quiet green corner of the Vogelwijk neighbourhood in Leiden. The area is known for its pre-war housing stock, though this home was built in 1991, so it stands out among the older homes around it. With a plot of 445 m² and a living area of 189 m² according to the BAG registration, the agent lists 186 m², a small difference between the two sources. The asking price is €1,235,000. For context, semi-detached houses in Leiden are a limited segment, with only two homes of this type currently available in the neighbourhood.
The home itself
The house offers eight rooms, including six bedrooms and three bathrooms, spread over several floors. The agent does not specify the layout of the rooms, so it is not clear which floor each bedroom or bathroom is on. The home was built in 1991 and has an energy label B, which means it is reasonably efficient, though the label does not say anything about the actual insulation or installations. The plot is 445 m², and the agent lists the same figure for the plot area, so there is no discrepancy there. No garden, balcony, or garage is mentioned in the listing, so it is not known whether the home has any outdoor space beyond the plot itself.
Life in Vogelwijk
Vogelwijk is a small neighbourhood with about 1,345 residents, and it has a mix of ages, with a notable share of young adults between 15 and 25 years old. Residents across the municipality of Leiden give their living environment an average score of 7.46, based on 38 reviews, though this figure covers the whole city rather than this specific neighbourhood. One resident says: "Living here is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious and affordable apartment with 90m2 floor area. Indoor route to the supermarket. GP and the usual shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna, Hema on the nearby square. Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, 'a place to be'." Another resident mentions: "Nice neighbourhood with park. Cosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood." These quotes reflect the wider municipality, so they may not apply directly to Vogelwijk itself. The neighbourhood has a relatively high proportion of single-person households, at 50%, and a quarter of households have children. For more details, you can explore the Vogelwijk neighbourhood page.
