Transvaalbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 1929 terraced house on Paul Krugerstraat sits in the lively Transvaalbuurt, a neighbourhood with a mixed, student-friendly vibe. At 120 m² it is a good deal larger than most homes in the area, and the asking price of €475,000 is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €414,800, reflecting the extra space. For comparison, other terraced houses in Leiden vary widely in size and price.
The Transvaalbuurt is a typical student neighbourhood, according to two residents. One describes it as "quite simple along a road, with often students outside in the evenings" but "reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed." Another calls it "a cosy good neighbourhood" with nice people, though bikes sometimes get stolen. The area is densely built (over 4,000 addresses per km²) and mostly pre-war housing. Most homes are rented, and many households are single people. For more context, see the neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt.
For groceries you have a Jumbo just around the corner, plus an AH to go and an Aldi a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, Eerste Leidse Schoolvereniging, is a five-minute walk, and there are several others within ten minutes. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a GP is also within walking distance. The municipality Leiden offers a compact city centre with restaurants and parks nearby.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including De Wekker Makelaardij Voorschoten B.V., Pararius, and Funda.

About Paul Krugerstraat 7, Leiden
The asking price is 15% above the neighbourhood average of €414,800, but this home is also 45% larger than the typical 83 m² in the area. The price per square metre works out at about €3,958, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,386 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
The Transvaalbuurt is a student-heavy area with a lively, sometimes noisy atmosphere. Residents mention that it is reasonably safe as long as you keep doors closed, and that bikes are occasionally stolen but serious crime is rare. It is a dense, pre-war neighbourhood with many single-person households and a mix of students and locals.
Leiden Centraal station is about 900 metres away, a ten-minute walk. That makes commuting to Amsterdam, The Hague or other cities straightforward.
A Jumbo supermarket is just 367 metres away, with an Aldi and AH to go also within a few minutes' walk. Several primary schools are within walking distance, including Eerste Leidse Schoolvereniging (579 m) and Vrije School Mareland (832 m). A GP is also nearby at 600 metres.
The home has energy label D. That is fairly typical for a pre-war house, it means the property is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. About 60% of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower.
Built in 1929, so it is a classic pre-war terraced house. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you should expect the original character but also potential maintenance needs typical of a home of this age.
The plot is 56 m², but the listing does not specify a garden.
