A compact studio on Lombokstraat
This listing did not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €249,000, the asking price was 36% below the neighbourhood average of €386,435, which was keen given the compact size. For context, this was one of the studios in Leiden at the time on the market. This home has not been online since 27 August 2026.
The De Kooi neighbourhood
De Kooi is a densely populated area with many single-person households and a mix of ages. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. One resident says: "Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly, drug dealers under the bridge, drug users around..." Another describes it as "a normal neighbourhood like you usually know" but notes "a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend." The area has a high crime rate, with 244 total offences recorded. For more context, see the De Kooi neighbourhood.
