About Munnikenstraat 83, Leiden
The asking price is 18% above the average asking price in De Waard (€441,188) and also above the median of €412,000. However, the average sold price in the neighbourhood is €446,648, and homes sell in about 50 days on average. Given the central location and the fact that it's a terraced house (74% of homes in the area are single-family), the price is on the high side but reflects the property type and location.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war home. In De Waard, 29.4% of homes have label C, while 35.3% have D or lower. Label C means reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but you can expect higher bills than a modern home.
Leiden Centraal station is 2 km away, about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well-connected by bus, and the city centre is within walking distance.
De Waard is a very urban area with a high density of addresses. It has a mix of young professionals and families, with many pre-war terraced houses. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and parks nearby, and the crime rate is moderate (70 total crimes reported).
The plot size is 76 m², but the listing does not specify a garden. Given that it's a terraced house from 1934, there may be a small courtyard or backyard, but this is not confirmed in the data.
With 76 m² of living space, it likely has 2-3 bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
