Frequently asked questions

About Groenhazengracht 2, Leiden

Is €525,000 a fair price for this townhouse?

The asking price of €525,000 is 62% below the neighbourhood average of €1,385,417, but the home is also smaller than average (105 m² vs 205 m²). Given the large plot and historic character, the price appears keen compared to other homes in Academiewijk.

What does energy label G mean for running costs?

Energy label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high energy bills for heating and electricity. The home dates from 1776 and likely has poor insulation. It's worth factoring in significant energy costs or potential renovation work to improve efficiency.

How is the neighbourhood for students and young professionals?

Academiewijk has a very young population, nearly 40% are aged 15 to 25, and a high proportion of single-person households. It's a lively, urban area with many restaurants, bars and cultural venues within walking distance. The train station is a ten-minute walk away.

What schools are near Groenhazengracht?

There are several primary schools within walking distance: Haanstra Basisschool (436 m), OBS Lucas van Leyden (531 m) and Vrije School Mareland (790 m). Secondary schools are about 1.7 km away, so a short bike ride or bus trip.

How big is the plot and what can I do with it?

The plot measures 644 m², which is unusually large for a city-centre townhouse. This offers potential for a garden, outdoor living space or even extension (subject to planning permission). The exact possibilities depend on local regulations.

Is parking available near the home?

Parking in Leiden's city centre is limited and often paid. The home is in a historic area with narrow streets. You may need to rely on public parking garages or a permit system. Check with the municipality for specific options.
