A 1750 terraced house on Hogewoerd
This terraced house sits on Hogewoerd, a street that runs through the heart of Leiden's old centre. With its 18th-century facade and 85 square metres of living space, it has the kind of character you simply do not find in newer builds. The energy label is A, which is a strong result for a home of this age. At €2,100 per month, the rent sat above the neighbourhood average of €1,845, but the combination of a historic setting and a modern energy rating explained much of that. For context, terraced houses in Leiden are a relatively rare sight in this part of the city. This home has not been online since 15 September 2026.
Levendaal-Oost
Levendaal-Oost is a compact, lively corner of the Binnenstad-Zuid district, and the single resident review gives it 8.75 out of 10. One resident describes it as "Lively and cosy", adding that it is a "Nice safe neighbourhood where everything is within easy reach." The figures back that up: with 2,895 residents and an address density of over 5,600 per square kilometre, this is about as urban as Leiden gets. Most households are single people, and the age profile skews young, with 41% of residents between 25 and 45. It is a neighbourhood that feels lived-in and sociable rather than polished, and the Levendaal-Oost neighbourhood reflects that energy.
Life on the street
Daily errands are remarkably easy here. The Dekamarkt is on your doorstep, just 91 metres away, which makes a quick bread run or top-up shop almost effortless. A Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. For schools, the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden is a ten-minute walk, as are the Bonaventura College and the Haanstra Basisschool. The park is a couple of streets away, and the train station is roughly a fifteen-minute walk. All of this sits within the municipality of Leiden's historic core, where the canals and courtyards make every route feel like a small discovery.
