Fortuinwijk-Noord, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Bachstraat sits in the Fortuinwijk-Noord neighbourhood, a quiet pocket of the city. At 36 m² it's compact, but the price of €250,000 is 26% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €337,567, making it a keen entry point into Leiden's housing market. For context, studios in Leiden typically command a premium per square metre, so this one is priced to move.

The asking price of €250,000 is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €337,567, and the price per square metre (€6,944) is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,085 per m², reflecting the premium for smaller units. Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is keen relative to the local market.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home of this era (built 1963). In the neighbourhood, 62.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical. You can expect moderate heating costs, but not as low as a modern A-rated home.
Leiden's main train station is 2.0 km from the home, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride.

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".

Auto-translated to English by AICosy 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.
