A studio on the Noordeinde
This studio on the Noordeinde puts you right in the historic heart of Leiden. At 26 m² it is compact, but the location is hard to beat. The energy label was F, the least efficient label, so expect higher heating costs. With a last known price of €190,000 it was by far the cheapest home at the time for sale in the neighbourhood, 77% below the average asking price of €837,433. That makes sense given the size: the floor area is 82% smaller than the neighbourhood average. For more context, see other studios in Leiden. This home has not been online since 3 September 2026.
