Havenwijk-Zuid, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on the Minnebroersgracht sits in one of Leiden's oldest quarters, where the streets hum with students and locals alike. With 120 m² of living space spread over several floors, it is a generous home for the city centre. The asking price of €625,000 is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €485,500, but the floor area is 140% larger than the typical 50 m² in Havenwijk-Zuid, so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Leiden tend to command a premium.

About Minnebroersgracht 14, Leiden
The asking price is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €485,500, but this home is also 140% larger than the typical 50 m² in Havenwijk-Zuid. The price per square metre works out to about €5,208, which is roughly half the neighbourhood average of €10,216 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war house. It means the property is reasonably well insulated but not as efficient as modern homes. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have label A+ and the other half label D or lower, so this home sits in the middle.
Havenwijk-Zuid has relatively few families with children (150 out of 1,350 households), and most residents are singles or couples without children. The area is very urban and lively, with many students. There are primary and secondary schools within walking distance, but the neighbourhood itself is not particularly family-oriented.
The neighbourhood recorded 65 total crimes in the latest data. With 1,810 residents, that works out to about 36 crimes per 1,000 inhabitants, which is moderate for a city centre. The area is generally safe, but as with any dense urban area, it pays to be aware of your surroundings.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk or a short cycle. The station offers direct trains to Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, making it convenient for commuters.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 47 m², but that includes the footprint of the house itself.
