Noordvest, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 18th-century terraced house on the Oude Singel sits right in the heart of Leiden, with the canal and its lively quayside just outside the door. At 93 m² and with a 103 m² plot, it's a compact but characterful home in one of the city's most picturesque streets. The energy label is E, so heating costs will be something to factor in. With a price of €675,000, it's on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €595,000, but that reflects the prime canal-side location and the rarity of such properties. For context, terraced houses in Leiden are in limited supply.
Noordvest is the historic core of Leiden, where narrow streets and old warehouses sit alongside modern cafés and shops. One resident sums it up: "Leiden city centre; more versatile than you think!" They add: "There are beautiful old streets, the market and the town hall. I really love hearing that peculiar 'r', Leiden feels like home." The neighbourhood is densely populated, with many single-person households and a young, student-influenced vibe. It's a place where you can walk everywhere, and the neighbourhood Noordvest has a real community feel despite the city-centre location.
For your morning bread, Dirk is just around the corner, and SPAR is a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both within a ten-minute walk. For school runs, Vrije School Mareland is a five-minute walk, and De Pionier is about the same distance. The Stedelijk Gymnasium is a ten-minute walk for secondary education. The municipality Leiden offers a compact city where everything is close by.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Kerkvliet Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

As the most beautiful city of cities, Leiden is at the top. There are beautiful old streets, the market and the town hall. I really love hearing that peculiar 'r', Leiden feels like home. And let them talk about what could be better, should be better and would be better. There is always something that could be better, but Leiden really, I love you!

About Oude Singel 102, Leiden
The asking price of €675,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €595,000 and the average sold price of €485,800. However, it's a canal-side terraced house in the historic centre, which commands a premium. The price per m² (€7,258) is also higher than the neighbourhood average of €6,684, reflecting the unique location and character.
The energy label is E, which is common for a house built in 1750. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
Noordvest is very central, with supermarkets like Dirk and SPAR within a few minutes' walk. There are also several primary schools nearby, and the train station is 1.4 km away. The area is densely built and lively, with many restaurants and cafés just around the corner.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.4 km away, about a 15-minute walk.
The floor area is 93 m², which typically accommodates two to three bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
The plot size is 103 m², which suggests there is some outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden. Given the canal-side location, it could be a courtyard or small garden.
