NeighbourhoodThis studio on Koestraat is a true city base, tucked away in the historic centre. At 30 m² it's compact, but the location makes up for it. The price of €250,000 is well below the neighbourhood average of €525,679, partly because of the size, it's 61% smaller than the typical home in the area. For a comparison, see other studios in Leiden.
Marewijk is a lively, student-heavy part of the city centre. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate having everything close by. One resident says: 'My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature.' Another adds: 'I moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden.' The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households and a young population, with most residents under 45. For more details, see the Marewijk neighbourhood.

My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature. You occasionally see a tree, but you can't really call it green. Some initiative in this regard would be a good improvement. I am satisfied with almost all other aspects. For example, the supermarket, pharmacy and GP are nearby, and the underground waste bins are very convenient. The only other downside is that there is often a lot of noise from students and partygoers, but nothing unexpected. It's also true that there isn't really a strong neighbourhood feel. There are a few neighbours with whom we occasionally have a drink, but I don't even speak to the majority. This can be attributed to the fact that many students live here and is therefore not a serious drawback for me.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden. The station is also nearby and everything can be visited by bus. I don't feel unsafe when I come home late at night, as the neighbourhood is lively and so far there are no weird types around. In terms of nature, it could be better, but you can't expect that in the middle of a city. Fortunately, you only have to cycle or run a short distance to discover nature. It's a shame there is so little housing, while so many students are looking for a room, because I would definitely recommend the neighbourhood.

Given the compact size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a studio in this part of Leiden.
The energy label is E. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern property. The building dates from 1910, which is typical for the area, all homes in Marewijk were built before 1945.

Marewijk is very popular with students. Around 40% of residents are aged 15-25, and many live alone. Reviews mention that it's lively and feels safe, even late at night. The downside is noise from students and partygoers, but that's expected in a central student area.
