Description
In a prime location in the center of Leiden, this well-maintained, characterful upstairs apartment (built in 1915) is situated in a quiet location on the first and second floors. It features an L-shaped, 13-meter-deep living/dining room, 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets, and an open-plan kitchen/diner.
Valdezstraat is a very quiet side street off Schelpenkade and will be completely renovated (including paving and new sewerage) at the end of October 2025. Here, you'll experience the benefits without the hassles of the city center. The apartment is located just outside the canal, in the quiet and family-friendly Tuinstadwijk neighborhood, right next to the charming shopping streets of Herenstraat and Doezastraat, with various specialty shops, restaurants, a local supermarket, hair salons, and more.
The city center is easily accessible on foot or by bike. Parks such as the Plantsoen and Cronesteyn Polder Park are also nearby. Several schools, daycare centers, and playgrounds are in the immediate vicinity. Leiden Lammenschans train station is a 5-minute bike ride away, and Leiden Central Station is a 10-minute bike ride away. Major roads to the N11, A4, and A44 are just a few minutes away.
Leiden's historic city center is the second-largest in the Netherlands and is known for its rich history, featuring old canals, city gates, no fewer than 88 bridges, windmills, narrow alleyways, courtyards, a castle, Singelpark, museums, and much more. Here you'll find all sorts of urban amenities in a compact area. And did you know that Leiden, after Amsterdam, has the most water flowing within its gates: a total of 28 kilometers of canals and moats? It's no wonder Leiden was ranked third among the most attractive cities to live in (Source: annual survey "Atlas for Municipalities" by research agency Atlas Research, May 2023)
