The Roomburg neighbourhood lies in the south-east of Leiden, between the Rijn-Schiekanaal, Meerburg, the Hoge Rijndijk, the A4 and the Leiden–Woerden railway line. As well as a residential area, it is also an archaeological park. With its location between the city centre and the main roads, Roomburg is an ideal place for bringing up children while working in the big cities.
Roomburg is a small residential neighbourhood whose only facility of its own is a community school. Shops (Meerburg, city centre) and main roads are close by. Roomburg is the last complete residential neighbourhood that Leiden was able to build on previously undeveloped land. Apart from redeveloping land within its own boundaries, the only room left for new housing will soon be in the surrounding municipalities. Roomburg has 3,050 residents in 1,175 households, with many under the age of 15 and mostly families with children.
The average price (asking price) of a home in Roomburg is €470,750. That is above the average for the Netherlands, and about average compared with other neighbourhoods within 10 km. Compared with all other neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, the following stand out as notably high in Roomburg: homes with district heating, homes built after 2000, and HAVO/VWO (senior general secondary and pre-university) schools within 5 km.
