The Rijndijkbuurt neighbourhood
Rijndijkbuurt is a compact, urban neighbourhood with a mix of old and new. One resident calls it a "Lovely neighbourhood", "Nice, friendly neighbourhood where people see each other and help where they can. The authentic appearance of the houses and convenient location relative to the centre of Leiden." Another gives a more mixed view: "there are nice parks to walk in, but unfortunately they are broken up by roads. Community gets a 2 because in my opinion nobody is really connected. No community centre, but also, nobody WANTS to connect with the neighbours either. Houses are poorly renovated. Lots of schools. Good amenities." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores 7.19 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945, and half have an energy label D or lower.

Frequently asked questions
About Catharinastraat 3, Leiden
Was €400,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €400,000 was 34% below the average asking price in the Rijndijkbuurt (€609,438). However, the floor area of 63 m² is 46% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 116 m². Terraced houses in Leiden vary widely, so the price reflected the smaller size and older construction. It is on the keen side compared to the local market.
What is the energy label D like?
Energy label D is the middle of the scale, not the most efficient, but not the worst. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and does not directly tell you about the condition of the insulation or heating system. Many homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower.
