Molenbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 1875 terraced house on the Nieuwe Mare is a real presence in the street, with 210 m² of living space spread over several floors. It's a rare find in the Molenbuurt, where most homes are much smaller, the average floor area in the neighbourhood is just 66 m². The price of €995,000 is on the high side compared to the local average of €370,000, but that reflects the exceptional size and character. For context, terraced houses in Leiden vary widely, and this one stands out.
The Molenbuurt neighbourhood is a dense, historic part of Leiden's city centre, with an address density of 5,615 per km², very strongly urban. It's a young area: nearly half the residents are between 15 and 25, and most households are single-person. There are few families with children, so the streets have a lively, student-and-young-professional vibe. The neighbourhood has no resident reviews on record, but the figures paint a picture of a bustling, central spot.
For your morning bread and groceries, Dirk is just around the corner, with SPAR and Jumbo also within a five-minute walk. There are several primary schools nearby: Vrije School Mareland is a couple of streets away, and De Pionier and Haanstra Basisschool are within a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden is about a ten-minute walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk away, and the municipality of Leiden offers all the cultural and leisure amenities you'd expect from a historic city.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Ivo van der Leek Makelaardij. The energy label is E, which means heating costs are something to budget for, especially in a house of this size and age.

About Nieuwe Mare 27, Leiden
The asking price of €995,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €370,000, but this is an exceptional property. With 210 m² of floor area, 218% larger than the local average of 66 m², and a location in the historic centre, the price reflects its rarity. Recently sold homes in the area averaged €485,000, but those were much smaller. So while it's on the high side, it's in line with what you'd expect for a house of this size and character.
The energy label is E, which is relatively inefficient. In the Molenbuurt, all available homes for sale have label A, so this house is an outlier. An E label means you can expect higher heating costs, especially given the property's age (1875) and size. It's worth factoring in potential improvements, though the exact costs depend on usage and future upgrades.
The house has a floor area of 210 m² on a plot of 126 m². It's a terraced house built in 1875, so it likely has multiple floors with period features.
The Molenbuurt is a very urban, central neighbourhood in Leiden with a high density of residents and amenities. It's popular with young people and students, nearly half the population is aged 15-25, and most households are single-person. There are few families with children. The area is lively and well-connected, with shops, restaurants, and the train station all within walking distance.
The nearest supermarket is Dirk, just 96 metres away, literally on your doorstep. SPAR is 252 metres, Jumbo 370 metres, and AH to go and Aldi are both about 560 metres away. So daily shopping is very convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance: Vrije School Mareland (232 m), De Pionier (649 m), Haanstra Basisschool (797 m), and OBS Lucas van Leyden (907 m). For secondary education, Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden is about 958 m away. All are within a ten- to fifteen-minute walk.
Leiden's train station is 1.0 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting to other cities like Amsterdam, The Hague, or Utrecht straightforward.
The listing does not mention a garden, terrace, or balcony. The plot size is 126 m², but that includes the footprint of the house, so it's not clear if there is any private outdoor space.
