How residents experience their neighbourhood
My neighbourhood is very varied in housing. You can find social housing and owner-occupied homes here. In the middle of the neighbourhood there is an industrial estate. To the east, high-rise buildings with apartments and student flats. To the north-west, there are mainly terraced houses. The neighbourhood is located on Lammeschansweg and almost directly on the motorway, so it is easily accessible. There are also many amenities such as a Plus, Intersport, Gamma, etc.

How residents experience their district
Police often around. On the grass field where children play, dogs are often walked and the owners leave the dog poop lying around.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt is always quiet to live there, but when you need something from specific shops, it is necessary to leave the village. This also applies to restaurants or clubs, for example. It is a beautiful area along the water, but real parks or forests are missing here.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood growing up in a neighbourhood like this and a nice environment for a dog
Auto-translated to English by AIHello, there are nice parks to walk in, but unfortunately they are broken up by roads. Community gets a 2 because in my opinion nobody is really connected. No community centre, but also, nobody WANTS to connect with the neighbours either. Houses are poorly renovated. Lots of schools. Good amenities.

How residents experience their municipality
Living here is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious and affordable apartment with 90m2 floor area. Indoor route to the supermarket. GP and the usual shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna, Hema on the nearby square. Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, "a place to be".
Auto-translated to English by AII enjoy living here.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a rather detached part of Leiden, with a strange mix of student complexes and houses. A lot of noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, everyone chats with each other on the street. We are kept well informed about what is happening in the neighbourhood via a newsletter. And then an information evening is held. In the playground, the neighbourhood police officer could patrol the area more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThey keep an eye on each other. Everyone has a chat every now and then. More and more young families with children are moving in, so there's a bit more going on. Children playing, nice for the elderly who no longer work but are at home or alone.
