Marewijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis 18th-century terraced house on the Vollersgracht sits in the heart of Leiden. With 74 m² of living space and a small plot, it's a compact but characterful home. The energy label G means heating costs will be high, something to factor in. At €520,000, the asking price is above the neighbourhood average of €476,500, so it's on the high side compared to other terraced houses in Leiden.
Marewijk is a dense, student-filled neighbourhood right in the centre. One resident 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 area scores 6.94 out of 10 from two reviews. Most homes were built before 1945, and the population is young, with many single-person households. The neighbourhood Marewijk is very urban, with over 6,000 addresses per km².
For groceries, you have a SPAR just around the corner, a Dirk a couple of streets away, and an Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. Primary schools include Vrije School Mareland and De Pionier, both a few streets away. The Stedelijk Gymnasium is about a ten-minute walk for secondary education. The municipality Leiden offers a wide range of amenities, with restaurants and a park within easy reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including De Wekker Makelaardij Voorschoten B.V., Funda, Pararius, and others.

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 33, Leiden
The asking price of €520,000 is above the average sale price in Marewijk (€476,500) and the median (€442,500). However, the home is a historic terraced house in the centre, which often commands a premium. The price per m² is about €7,027, slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,730. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the location and character.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, only 8.3% of homes have label A or better, while 41.7% have label D or lower. It's worth getting a detailed energy assessment to understand the potential for improvements.
Marewijk is very popular with students: around 40% of residents are aged 15-25, and many homes are rented. Residents mention it's lively and safe, but there can be noise from students and partygoers. The neighbourhood feel is not strong, but neighbours occasionally socialise. It's ideal if you enjoy a vibrant, central atmosphere.
You're in the centre of Leiden, so shops, restaurants, and services are all close. The nearest supermarket (SPAR) is 154 m away, and a Dirk and Albert Heijn are within 300 m. A GP is 0.8 km away, and the train station is 1.7 km. There's a park 0.4 km away, though residents note a lack of green space in the immediate area.
The house was built in 1750, so it's over 270 years old. The listing does not provide details on the condition, but with such an old property, you should expect maintenance needs. The energy label G also suggests the building may lack modern insulation. A structural survey is advisable to check for issues like damp or foundation problems.
The plot is 57 m², but the listing does not specify a garden. Given the small plot and the fact it's a terraced house in the centre, any outdoor space is likely limited.
