Transvaalbuurt, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 1929 terraced house on Reitzstraat sits in the lively Transvaalbuurt, a neighbourhood with a mix of students and families. At 119 m², it's 43% larger than the average home in the area, which is reflected in the €450,000 asking price, on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €369,000, but in line with the larger floor area. For context, terraced houses in Leiden typically command a premium.
The Transvaalbuurt is a dense, urban area with a very strong city feel (over 4,000 addresses per km²). Based on two reviews, residents describe it as "a typical student neighbourhood", one notes it's "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 calls it "a cosy good neighbourhood" with "nice people" and adds: "sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries, there is a supermarket, station, GP and school all within walking distance, sometimes it is a bit dirty." The neighbourhood Transvaalbuurt has a young population, with many one-person households and a high proportion of residents aged 25-45.
For your morning bread, AH to go and Aldi are just around the corner, with Jumbo a couple of streets away. The Eerste Leidse Schoolvereniging primary school is a five-minute walk, and De Morskring is also within easy reach. The municipality Leiden offers a train station a ten-minute walk away, and a GP is just around the corner. A park is a ten-minute stroll, and restaurants are on your doorstep.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Makelaarsgilde REMAX, REMAX Makelaarsgilde, and Makelaarsgilde REMAX.

About Reitzstraat 10, Leiden
The asking price is €450,000, which is above the neighbourhood median of €369,000 and the average sold price of €389,021. However, this home is 119 m², 43% larger than the average 83 m² in the area, so the price per m² (€3,782) is actually below the neighbourhood average of €6,386 per m². That makes it a reasonable deal for the extra space.
The energy label is E, which is common for a 1929 home. It means the house is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 60% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
Residents give mixed feedback. One says it's "reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed," while another notes "sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries." The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 146, which is moderate for a dense urban area.
The Transvaalbuurt has a young, student-heavy population, only 150 households with children out of 1,275 total. There are primary schools within walking distance, but the area is more suited to singles and couples. The reviews mention students outside in the evenings, so it's not a quiet family enclave.
Leiden Centraal station is 0.9 km away, about a ten-minute walk. That makes it convenient for commuting to Amsterdam, The Hague, or other cities.
AH to go and Aldi are about 600 metres away, and Jumbo is 682 metres, all within a five- to ten-minute walk. Restaurants are just 300 metres away, so eating out is easy.
The listing does not mention a garden. The plot is 82 m², but that includes the footprint of the house, so there may be a small yard.
