De Kooi, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Sieboldstraat is a small but well-located home in the Leiden-Noord neighbourhood. At 31 m², it's a compact space, and with an energy label D, heating costs are something to keep an eye on. The asking price of €229,000 is 41% below the neighbourhood average, which makes sense given the size. For context, studios in Leiden vary widely in price and condition.
De Kooi is a dense urban area with over 6,300 residents, mostly in apartments. It's a young neighbourhood, with many people between 25 and 45. Reviews are mixed: one resident says, "Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly," while another calls it "a normal neighbourhood like you usually know." Both mention issues with nuisance in public spaces. The neighbourhood De Kooi has a high crime rate, with 244 incidents reported.
For groceries, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Primary school De Springplank is a five-minute walk, and secondary school Marecollege is also within walking distance. The park or garden is just around the corner, offering a green escape. The municipality Leiden provides these amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including De Wekker Makelaardij Leiden B.V. and other platforms.

Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly, drug dealers under the bridge, drug users around and even in bad weather in the flat, the housing association doesn't want to understand! Also many foreign residents in the flat and in the neighbourhood. The mayor and aldermen do nothing about it either. Leiden Noord is in decline! Bins disappear and it's normal for people to throw everything on the ground. Cleaning up dog poop, forget it, you can hardly pick it up anymore because the grass is much too high, so-called care for insects, in my opinion just a cheap cutback. The flat is also getting dirtier. They keep raising the costs but the escape routes haven't been cleaned for almost 5 years. Positive is that there are shops at Kooiplein and in the building there is the library and schools, secondary education at Sumatrastraat. Too bad that not only the government sees the car as a cash cow but the municipality now too.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, it's actually a normal neighbourhood like you usually know. However, you do have a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend, and also children who get up to a lot of mischief. For the rest, it is a pleasant neighbourhood, but unfortunately we don't have as nice contact with our neighbours as before. My neighbourhood has changed a lot compared to my childhood since we had an old neighbour lady who was very close to us. Felt like family..

The asking price is 41% below the average asking price in De Kooi (€386,542), but the studio is also 59% smaller than the neighbourhood average (76 m²). Given the compact size and energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small studio in this area.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In De Kooi, 44% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is common for the area.
