About Oude Herengracht 13, Leiden
The price is on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Leiden, but the 150 m² floor area, historic canal location and energy label D (which means moderate efficiency) are all factors. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say exactly, but the asking price reflects the premium for a classic canal house in the centre.
The energy label is D. This is average for a house built in 1881, you can expect reasonable insulation but not the latest standards. Heating costs will be moderate, but not as low as a modern home. The label is based on the current installation and insulation, so it's worth checking what measures have already been taken.
Havenwijk-Noord is a very urban, historic neighbourhood in central Leiden. It's densely built with a mix of apartments and townhouses. The population is young, many students and singles, and there are few children. The area is lively, with restaurants, shops and cultural venues within walking distance. The train station is 1.9 km away, about a 20-minute walk.
The nearest primary school is De Pionier, 238 metres away. Other primary schools within walking distance include Vrije School Mareland (730 m), De Springplank (774 m), De Singel (841 m) and De Viersprong (841 m). Secondary schools are about 1.5 km away, a 15-20 minute walk.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.9 km from the house, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. The station offers direct trains to Amsterdam, The Hague, Utrecht and other major cities.
The plot is 80 m², but the listing does not specify whether there is a garden. Given the canal-side location and the age of the house, it's common to have a small courtyard or no garden at all.
