A studio in the heart of Leiden
This studio on Legewerfsteeg sits in the middle of Leiden's historic centre, where the streets are always busy and the canals are just a short stroll away. At 31 m² it is compact, and the 1918 building gives it a classic city-centre feel. The rent of €667 is 25% below the neighbourhood average of €889, which makes it a keenly priced option compared with other studios in Leiden.
The Marewijk neighbourhood
The Marewijk neighbourhood is a lively, student-heavy part of the centre, with 40% of residents aged between 15 and 25 and 78% of households made up of single people. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate having everything close by, from the supermarket to the GP, and one says: "I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden." Another notes the lack of green space, but adds that "you can't expect that in the middle of a city." The same resident mentions the station is nearby and that the neighbourhood feels safe at night.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is on your doorstep, with a SPAR and a Dirk just around the corner. For schools, De Pionier primary school is a couple of streets away, and the Vrije School Mareland is a five-minute walk. The train station is about 1.6 km away, so a ten-minute walk or a short cycle. The municipality of Leiden keeps the centre well served with amenities, and the underground waste bins get a mention from residents as a practical plus.

Frequently asked questions
About Legewerfsteeg 1B, Leiden
Is €667 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent of €667 is 25% below the neighbourhood average of €889 for rental homes. The floor area of 31 m² is smaller than the average of 150 m² in the area, so the price per square metre works out higher. Given the compact size and the central location, the rent is on the low side compared with what is typically asked in Marewijk.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration from EP-Online, and it indicates the home's energy performance on a scale from A to G. Label D is in the middle of the range, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How close is the nearest supermarket?
The Albert Heijn is just 91 metres away, so you can pop out for bread or groceries without much effort. There are also a SPAR at 389 metres and a Dirk at 459 metres, giving you a few options within a short walk. This makes daily shopping very convenient.
