President Steinstraat 22B
Transvaalbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodA compact studio in lively Leiden
This studio on President Steinstraat sits in the heart of Leiden, where the streets buzz with student life and the city's energy. At 40 m² it's a compact space, but the price of €265,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average, 36% below the typical asking price. For context, studios in Leiden tend to be smaller and more affordable than the wider market.
The Transvaalbuurt neighbourhood
The Transvaalbuurt neighbourhood is a typical student area, according to two residents. One describes it as "a typical student neighbourhood" where "the neighbourhood is quite simple along a road, and there are often students outside in the evenings." Another calls it "a cosy good neighbourhood" with "nice people" and notes that "sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries." The area scores a 7.57 out of 10 overall. It's a dense, urban pocket with many one-person households and a young population.
Life on the street
For daily errands, you have an AH to go, Aldi and Jumbo all just around the corner. The nearest primary school, Eerste Leidse Schoolvereniging, is a five-minute walk away, with De Morskring and Basisschool Pacelli a couple of streets further. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and the municipality of Leiden offers everything a city centre does, restaurants, a GP and a park all within walking distance.

Frequently asked questions
About President Steinstraat 22B, Leiden
Is €265,000 a fair price for this studio?
The asking price of €265,000 is 36% below the average asking price in the Transvaalbuurt (€414,800). However, the floor area of 40 m² is also 52% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 83 m². Given the compact size and the studio typology, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small unit in this central Leiden location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label D is in the middle of the scale, it's not the most efficient, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not directly indicate the condition of the insulation or heating system; it's a combined score.
How is the neighbourhood for safety?
Residents give mixed but generally positive feedback. One says it is "reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed," while another notes "sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries." The total number of recorded crimes in the neighbourhood is 146, which is typical for a dense urban area with many students.
What amenities are within walking distance?
You have several supermarkets just around the corner: AH to go, Aldi and Jumbo are all within 424 metres. The train station is a ten-minute walk (0.9 km). A GP practice is 0.6 km away, and a primary school is 0.7 km. Restaurants are just 0.3 km away, so daily life is very convenient.
How many rooms does this studio have?
The listing states it is a studio, which typically means one open-plan living/sleeping area with a separate kitchen and bathroom. The exact layout is not detailed in the listing, but the floor area is 40 m².
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space, typical for a studio apartment in a city centre.

Experiences from Morsdistrict
How residents experience their district
Cosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt used to be a very pleasant neighbourhood. Nowadays, nobody considers others anymore. The maintenance by the municipality and of private gardens is also very poor.

Living here is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious and affordable apartment with 90m2 floor area. Indoor route to the supermarket. GP and the usual shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna, Hema on the nearby square. Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, "a place to be".

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a rather detached part of Leiden, with a strange mix of student complexes and houses. A lot of noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, everyone chats with each other on the street. We are kept well informed about what is happening in the neighbourhood via a newsletter. And then an information evening is held. In the playground, the neighbourhood police officer could patrol the area more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThey keep an eye on each other. Everyone has a chat every now and then. More and more young families with children are moving in, so there's a bit more going on. Children playing, nice for the elderly who no longer work but are at home or alone.

Auto-translated to English by AII don't really have an experience but there are many nice people
