Houtkwartier, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Boerhaavelaan sits in a lively part of Leiden, where the streets are busy with students and professionals. At 41 m² it's compact, but the price of €275,000 is notably keen, 35% below the neighbourhood average of €425,000 and the cheapest of the three homes currently for sale here. For context, studios in Leiden vary widely, so this one stands out on price.
Houtkwartier is a very strongly urban area (over 2,500 addresses per km²) with a mix of singles and families. Most homes are flats, and the housing stock is predominantly from 1945-1970. The neighbourhood feels young and energetic, with many 25-45 year olds. There are no resident reviews available for this area, but the CBS data shows a relatively low average household size of 1.8, reflecting the many one-person households. The neighbourhood Houtkwartier is well-connected and has a lively street scene.
For your morning coffee, an AH to go is just around the corner, and a Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: Het Waterland (secondary) is on your doorstep, and the Bonaventura Lyceum is a five-minute walk. The municipality Leiden offers a compact city layout, so most amenities are within easy reach. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commutes straightforward.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Wolters Housing BV and also appears on Funda. The energy label F means heating costs will be higher than in a more efficient home, something to factor into your budget.

About Boerhaavelaan 223, Leiden
Yes, it's priced keenly. The asking price is 35% below the neighbourhood average of €425,000 and is the cheapest of the three homes currently for sale in Houtkwartier. However, the floor area is 43% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 72 m², so the price per m² is actually in line with the market.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, 75% of homes have label B and 12.5% have label A, so this home is significantly less efficient. Expect higher heating costs compared to a better-rated home.
The train station is 1.5 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to other cities.
An AH to go is 485 metres away, just around the corner. A Jumbo is 800 metres away, a couple of streets further. There's also an Aldi and a Dirk within a kilometre.
Several secondary schools are very close: Het Waterland is 134 metres away, Beroepscollege Leystede is 150 metres, and the Bonaventura Lyceum is 287 metres. A primary school is 0.7 km away.
The CBS data records 83 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita comparison it's hard to judge. The area is densely populated and urban, so typical city dynamics apply.
