Frequently asked questions

About Nieuwstraat 55, Leiden

Is €497,500 a fair price for this house?

For a 78 m² mid-terrace house from 1860 with energy label C in the centre of Leiden, the price is in line with the market. Comparable homes in the city centre tend to sell for similar amounts, though the small plot (51 m²) and compact layout mean it's priced for someone who values location over space.

What is the neighbourhood like?

Pancras-West is a historic inner-city neighbourhood with a high density of shops, restaurants, and cultural amenities. It's very urban (over 6,300 addresses per km²) and popular with young people and students. One resident calls it a "cosy inner-city neighbourhood" with everything you'd expect from a historic centre.

How far is the train station?

Leiden Centraal station is about 1.5 km away, which is a 15,20 minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well connected by bus and bike.

What is the energy label and what does it mean?

The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. The listing does not mention insulation or heating system details.

Is there outdoor space?

The plot is 51 m², which typically includes a small courtyard or garden. The listing does not specify the layout, but given the property type, there is likely a private outdoor space at the back.

How many rooms does it have?

The listing does not state the number of rooms. With 78 m² over three floors, it likely has two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
