Stationskwartier, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Schutterstraat sits right in the lively Stationskwartier, a stone's throw from Leiden Centraal station. At 43 m² it's a compact home, but the location makes up for it, you step out onto a street with cafes, shops and the city buzz. The asking price of €299,000 is 49% below the neighbourhood average of €590,692, which is keen for a studio in this part of town. For context, studios in Leiden tend to be smaller and more affordable than the overall market.

The Stationskwartier neighbourhood has a mix of old and new buildings, and the energy label D here is not unusual for a pre-war property.

How residents experience their municipality
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 AII enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy 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 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 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.
