Zijlwijk-Noord, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Begoniadal sits in a quiet, green part of Zijlwijk-Noord, a neighbourhood where most homes are owner-occupied and families make up a large share of residents. With 138 m² of living space and a 172 m² plot, it offers room to spread out. The asking price of €550,000 is slightly below the average sale price of €609,800 for homes sold recently in the area, so it's keenly priced for what you get. For context, terraced houses in Leiden vary widely, but this one stands out for its generous garden.
Zijlwijk-Noord is a residential area built mainly in the 1970s, so the homes are solid and the streets are lined with trees. It's a place where many households have children, and the atmosphere is relaxed. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, but the figures speak for themselves: a low crime rate and plenty of green space nearby. The neighbourhood Zijlwijk-Noord is well served by local amenities, yet feels a world away from the city bustle.
Your morning routine is easy: a five-minute walk takes you to Lidl, Albert Heijn or Dirk for groceries. For school runs, De Dukdalf and Zijlwijkschool are both just around the corner, so children can walk or cycle independently. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, perfect for an evening stroll. The municipality Leiden provides all the urban facilities you'd expect, but here you're in a quiet pocket that feels almost suburban.
At the time of writing, the home is listed exclusively via Alpina Leiden (formerly De Leeuw Makelaardij).
