A terraced house on President Steinstraat
This 1929 terraced house on President Steinstraat sits in the Transvaalbuurt, a lively part of Leiden. With 73 m² of living space and a small plot of 46 m², it was a compact home with an E energy label, so heating costs were something to budget for. At €345,000, the asking price was 17% below the neighbourhood average of €414,800, making it a keenly priced option compared to other terraced houses in Leiden. This home has not been online since 12 August 2026.

It's home to a mix of students and young professionals, nearly half the residents are between 15 and 45. Two residents describe it as "a typical student neighbourhood" and "a cosy good neighbourhood". One notes: "The neighbourhood is quite simple along a road, and there are often students outside in the evenings. It is reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed." Another adds: "It is a safe neighbourhood with nice people, I have never had any bad experiences, but sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries." The neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households (880 out of 1,275), and most homes are pre-war.
