About Catharinastraat 3, Leiden
The asking price of €400,000 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €609,438, but the house is also smaller than average (63 m² vs 116 m²). Given the compact size and older construction (1910), the price is in line with what you'd expect for a terraced house in this part of Leiden.
The energy label is D, which is common for pre-war homes. It means the house is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. Many homes in the neighbourhood have labels D or lower (50% of recent listings).
Leiden Centraal station is 1.6 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well-connected for public transport.
Residents have mixed views. One describes the neighbourhood as friendly and helpful, with authentic houses and a convenient location. Another feels the community is disconnected and that houses are poorly renovated. It's a diverse area with many young adults and families.
Yes, the nearest park or public garden is just 0.2 km away, on your doorstep. Residents mention nice parks for walking, though some are broken up by roads.
