About Hoofdstraat 89, Leiderdorp
The asking price is €595,000 for a 121 m² terraced house from 1955 with an energy label D. Compared to other homes in Oranjewijk, this is a typical price for a house of this size and age. The neighbourhood is popular with families, which supports values.
Energy label D is average for a house from the 1950s. It means the home is not super-efficient, so you can expect moderate heating costs. The house has single glazing in some windows and the original roof insulation may be thin. Upgrading to double glazing and cavity wall insulation would improve the label.
The nearest train station is 4 km away. That's about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride. There are bus stops nearby that connect to Leiden Centraal, which offers frequent trains to Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht.
Willem de Zwijger primary school is just 144 m away, literally around the corner. De Bernardusschool is 477 m away, a five-minute walk. Both are good options for young families. For secondary education, the nearest school is 2.6 km away, so a bike ride or bus trip.
