Pesthuiswijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. The Rijnsburgerweg is one of Leiden's most prestigious addresses, lined with stately 19th-century villas. This particular house, built in 1905, offers 312 m² of living space on a 503 m² plot, making it the most expensive of the five homes currently for sale in the Pesthuiswijk. At €1,325,000, the price is 102% above the neighbourhood average of €655,800, which is understandable given its size and location. For comparison, other terraced houses in Leiden vary widely in price and size.
The Pesthuiswijk is a compact, densely populated neighbourhood (2,270 residents in 1,372 homes) with a very high address density of 3,029 per km², typical of a city-centre area. It's dominated by students and young professionals: 1,400 single-person households and a median age between 25 and 45. Families with children are rare (only 70 households). The area has a lively, urban feel, with the historic city centre just a short walk away. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the description is based on CBS data and general knowledge.

Schools are well represented: the Bonaventura Lyceum and Visser 't Hooft Lyceum are both a five-minute walk away, and the Woutertje Pieterse primary school is about a ten-minute walk.
