Transvaalbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Joubertstraat sits in the heart of the Transvaalbuurt, a neighbourhood with a lively, student-friendly atmosphere. At 39 m² it is compact, but the price of €260,000 is the lowest of the 15 homes currently for sale in the area and 37% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €414,800. That makes it a keen entry point into the Leiden housing market, especially compared to other studios in Leiden.
The Transvaalbuurt is a typical student neighbourhood, as one resident puts it: "The neighbourhood is quite simple along a road, and there are often students outside in the evenings. It is reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed." Another resident adds: "It is a safe neighbourhood with nice people, I have never had any bad experiences, but sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries, there is a supermarket, station, GP and school all within walking distance, sometimes it is a bit dirty." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.57 out of 10. The area is densely built with mostly pre-war housing, and many residents live alone. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt.
