A terraced house in Zijlwijk-Zuid
Westlanderwerf 3 sits in Zijlwijk-Zuid, a neighbourhood in Leiden where the streets are calm and the park is just a short stroll away. This terraced house from 1975 had an energy label C, so heating costs would sit somewhere in the middle of the range. With a living area of 120 m² according to the BAG registration, the last known asking price of €575,000 worked out at €4,792 per m². That put it 51% below the average asking price of €1,170,000 for terraced houses in Leiden, which made it look sharp in comparison with the wider market. This home has not been online since 16 September 2026.
The home itself
The listing did not go into detail about the layout, so the number of rooms, bedrooms and bathrooms was not stated. What is clear is that this is a terraced house built in 1975, with an energy label C. The asking price of €575,000 was on the high side relative to the WOZ value, which was a fact worth noting when considering the overall picture.

The WOZ was the municipal valuation, not the current market value, so it reflected the official assessment rather than what buyers might pay at the time.

The noise from road traffic is measured at 54 dB Lden, which is above the norm, while railway and aircraft noise stay below their respective norms. The foundation risk indication is low, though the soil is clay, which is sensitive to settling. Pluvial flooding at heavy rain is medium, as is the current flood risk and the 2050 projection, while heat stress is low now but medium by 2050.
