Marewijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 18th-century terraced house on the Vollersgracht sits right in the heart of Leiden. With 116 m² of living space spread over several floors, it's a proper family home in a city where space is at a premium. The energy label F means you'll want to budget for heating, but the character of a 1750 building is hard to beat. At €695,000, the asking price is 46% above the neighbourhood average of €476,500, partly because this home is 57% larger than the typical 74 m² in the area. For context, terraced houses in Leiden vary widely in price and size.
Marewijk is the historic centre of Leiden, with a very high population density (6,048 addresses per km²). It's a young area: nearly 40% of residents are between 15 and 25, and most households are single-person. Two residents have reviewed the neighbourhood. One says: "My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature." Another adds: "I moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden. The station is also nearby." Both mention noise from students and a lack of green, but appreciate the convenience. The neighbourhood Marewijk is undeniably central, but not for those seeking peace and quiet.
For your morning bread, SPAR is just around the corner, Dirk is a couple of streets away, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Three primary schools are within a ten-minute walk: Vrije School Mareland, De Pionier, and Haanstra Basisschool. The municipality Leiden has excellent secondary schools too, with Stedelijk Gymnasium about a ten-minute walk. A GP and pharmacy are a couple of streets away, and the park or public garden is just around the corner. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commuting easy.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Ivo van der Leek Makelaardij, Funda, and Vastgoed Nederland.

My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature. You occasionally see a tree, but you can't really call it green. Some initiative in this regard would be a good improvement. I am satisfied with almost all other aspects. For example, the supermarket, pharmacy and GP are nearby, and the underground waste bins are very convenient. The only other downside is that there is often a lot of noise from students and partygoers, but nothing unexpected. It's also true that there isn't really a strong neighbourhood feel. There are a few neighbours with whom we occasionally have a drink, but I don't even speak to the majority. This can be attributed to the fact that many students live here and is therefore not a serious drawback for me.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden. The station is also nearby and everything can be visited by bus. I don't feel unsafe when I come home late at night, as the neighbourhood is lively and so far there are no weird types around. In terms of nature, it could be better, but you can't expect that in the middle of a city. Fortunately, you only have to cycle or run a short distance to discover nature. It's a shame there is so little housing, while so many students are looking for a room, because I would definitely recommend the neighbourhood.

About Vollersgracht 10D, Leiden
The asking price is 46% above the average for Marewijk (€476,500), but this home is also 57% larger than the typical 74 m² in the neighbourhood. Given its historic character and central location, the price reflects the premium for space and authenticity. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value a 1750 townhouse with an F energy label in the heart of Leiden.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This is common for a house built in 1750. You can expect high heating costs, and the home will likely need significant insulation improvements to bring it up to modern standards. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels: 33% are A, but 42% are D or lower.
Marewijk is not particularly family-oriented: only 125 households have children, and most residents are students or young singles. The area is lively and central, but residents note a lack of green space and noise from students. Schools are within walking distance, but the neighbourhood feel is more transient.
Leiden Centraal station is 1.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very central, so buses and trains are easily accessible.
With 116 m² of living space, it likely has multiple rooms, but the exact layout is not provided.
The plot is 62 m², but the listing does not mention a garden. It's possible there is a courtyard or small outdoor space, but this is not confirmed.
