Independent Student Room Sigmaplantsoen 493, Leiden - For Rent

Sigmaplantsoen 493 offers an independent student room of 27 square meters on the twelfth floor in the Roodenburgerdistrict of Leiden. The unit is arranged as one combined sleeping and living space of approximately 24 square meters, with an open kitchen. The room comes with a private shower and toilet, so it is fully self-contained and does not need to be shared with other residents. The interior is to be furnished by the tenant, allowing for a personal setup. The building is equipped with an elevator, providing easy access to the twelfth floor. The room has no balcony or garden.

The accommodation is located on the campus Leidse Schans, where a total of around 2,000 rooms are managed by DUWO. The campus includes a supermarket, a restaurant, a coffee bar, and a snack bar, so daily amenities are available within the immediate vicinity.

Since autumn 2022 the campus has been car- and moped-free, contributing to a quieter residential environment.

The location combines proximity to the city center with direct access to public transport, as the campus lies next to Leiden Lammenschans station. The center of Leiden is within walking distance, offering shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities. The Roodenburgerdistrict is a residential neighborhood in the south of the city. The target group for this room consists of students and PhD candidates.
