Of the 2,975 people living here, 45% are between 15 and 25 years old, and 81% of households are single-person, so the vibe is young and transient. Residents across the municipality of Leiden give their living experience an average score of 7.46, based on 38 reviews. One resident says: "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'." Another resident mentions: "Cosy 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." These quotes describe the wider municipality, not just this specific street. For a closer look at what the area offers, see the Pieterswijk neighbourhood.
