About Kruitschip 51, Leiden
The asking price of €220,000 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €512,188, but the studio is also much smaller than average (28 m² vs 54 m²). Given the compact size and central location, the price per m² (€7,857) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €9,566 per m², so it's priced keenly for what it is.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war home. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not as low as a modern, well-insulated property. The building dates from 1892, so it's worth checking the insulation and heating system.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.3 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach other cities like Amsterdam, The Hague or Utrecht.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: Hoogvliet is just 132 m away, Ekoplaza at 214 m, and SPAR at 414 m. For daily groceries, you're well covered.
