Pieterswijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Breestraat puts you right in the thick of Leiden's historic centre. At 30 m² it's compact, but the location is hard to beat. The asking price of €299,000 is 58% below the neighbourhood average of €716,500, though that average reflects much larger homes. For a studio, it's a realistic entry point into this sought-after area. See more studios in Leiden.

It's right in the centre of Leiden, between the 3 associations. There's not only daytime bustle from tourists but also in the evening from all the students walking through the neighbourhood. Personally, I find it very cosy and not disturbing. Furthermore, there are plenty of nice little restaurants and a supermarket nearby. You live close to the water and the Hortus, so there's plenty to do. Unfortunately, getting into this neighbourhood by car is a bit of a course because you're not allowed everywhere and sometimes you have to take huge detours. In my opinion, there isn't enough greenery in the neighbourhood; we do have a park, but more trees could be planted in the streets and surroundings. Most of the greenery is often from the people who live there, not from the municipality. Otherwise, I'd say the housing situation is fine. There are some association houses, owner-occupied houses, and plenty of rental properties.

About Breestraat 54E, Leiden
The asking price is 58% below the neighbourhood average of €716,500, but that average is based on much larger homes (average 113 m²). For a 30 m² studio in the centre of Leiden, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact property in a location.
The energy label is D. This is a moderate rating, meaning the home is not particularly energy-efficient. You can expect higher energy costs compared to a home with a better label. The building dates from 1750, so improvements may be needed to bring it up to modern standards.
