Hoge Rijndijk 104B

A compact studio on the Hoge Rijndijk

This studio on the Hoge Rijndijk sits in a lively part of Leiden, with the city centre just a short walk away. At 42 m² it is compact, but the layout makes efficient use of space. The asking price of €349,000 is 43% below the neighbourhood average of €609,438, which is keen given the smaller floor area. For context, studios in Leiden vary widely in price and size.

The Rijndijkbuurt neighbourhood

The Rijndijkbuurt is a dense, urban area with a mix of pre-war housing and modern amenities. Two residents reviewed it: one calls it a "Lovely neighbourhood", "Nice, friendly neighbourhood where people see each other and help where they can. The authentic appearance of the houses and convenient location relative to the centre of Leiden." Another gives a more mixed view: "there are nice parks to walk in, but unfortunately they are broken up by roads. Community gets a 2 because in my opinion nobody is really connected." Based on these two reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.2 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945, and the area has a high proportion of single-person households.
