Studio Nico van der Horstpark, Leiden - For Rent

This studio is located on the second floor of the Nico van der Horstpark complex in Leiden's Bos- en Gasthuisdistrict. The property offers 24 square meters of living space, of which the living room accounts for approximately 15 square meters. The complex was built in 2018 and the home carries energy label A++. It is a fully gasless property, meaning both heating and cooking are done electrically. The complex does not have an elevator, so the studio is accessed via the staircase.

The interior consists of a single open living space with an open kitchen. Cooking takes place electrically, in keeping with the all-electric design of the home. The studio does not include a private balcony, garden, or attic space. Residents do have access to a communal storage facility. An intercom system is installed at the entrance of the building.

The Nico van der Horstpark lies on the border of Leiden and Voorschoten, close to the main access roads. The site was established in 2018 as a temporary living location and comprises 100 homes surrounded by generous communal green space, including a large garden house. Housing corporations Ons Doel and De Sleutels, together with the municipality of Leiden, are jointly involved in this location. The community is home to a mix of residents, in part through cooperation with Stichting VluchtelingenWerk. Residents collectively contribute to making the park a pleasant place to live.

The base rent is €651.36 per month, with service costs of €23.60, bringing the total rent to €674.96. The service costs cover energy for communal areas, glass insurance, an unclogging fund, and cleaning of shared spaces. Rent allowance (huurtoeslag) is possible for this home. It concerns a temporary living location: the current permit for the park runs until November 2027, while De Sleutels may use the land until at least 2033. If the permit is not extended, a social plan applies. The rental is offered through housing association De Sleutels.
