Fortuinwijk-Noord is a residential area built mainly between 1945 and 1970, so the streets have a settled feel.

Schools are close too: the Leonardo College (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and De Astronaut primary school is about the same distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk, so commuting to Leiden Centraal or beyond is straightforward. The neighbourhood also has a GP surgery and a park within a few minutes' walk, which makes everyday errands easy.

About Debussystraat 39, Leiden
The asking price is 82% above the neighbourhood average of €337,567, and it's the most expensive of the 15 homes currently for sale in Fortuinwijk-Noord. However, the floor area (134 m²) is 91% larger than the neighbourhood average of 70 m², so the price per square metre is roughly in line with the local market. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the quiet location.
The home has an energy label C, which is average for a house built in 1962. In the neighbourhood, 37.5% of homes have label C and 62.5% have a lower label (D or below). Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. Upgrading insulation or the heating system could improve the label and reduce bills.
The plot measures 117 m², which includes the house footprint. The listing does not specify a garden size or whether there is a garden at all. Given the plot size, there is likely some outdoor space, but you would need to check the exact layout with the agent.
Fortuinwijk-Noord has a mix of residents, with about 390 households with children and many singles and older people. The area is quiet, as one resident notes. There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, including De Astronaut and Leonardo College. The park and GP surgery nearby add to the family-friendly feel.
Leiden Centraal station is 2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The station offers direct trains to Amsterdam, The Hague, and other major cities.
The nearest supermarket is AH XL at 377 m, followed by Hoogvliet (528 m), Lidl (672 m), and two Jumbo stores within 800 m. All are within a ten-minute walk, so daily shopping is very convenient.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 134 m² over three floors, it likely has at least three bedrooms, but you would need to confirm the layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention any monument or conservation status. The house was built in 1962, so it is unlikely to be a listed building. You can check with the municipality of Leiden for any specific restrictions.
