A 1929 terraced house in lively Leiden
This terraced house on Van der Tasstraat 2 sits in the Transvaalbuurt, a neighbourhood in Leiden where the streets have a lived-in, everyday rhythm. Built in 1929, it is a pre-war home in a city that mixes student life with long-term residents. The last known asking price of €315,000 was 26% below the average asking price of €425,278 for terraced houses in Leiden, which put it on the low side of the market. This listing did not state the energy label, so that information was missing from the agent's publication. According to the BAG registration the living area is 50 m², on a plot of 49 m². That living area is 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 84 m². The home dates from 1929, a fact that stands on its own without saying anything about the condition. This home has not been online since 8 October 2026.
