Life in Marewijk
Marewijk is a lively, central neighbourhood, and the two residents who reviewed it paint a consistent picture. One says: "My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful." Another adds: "I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden. The station is also nearby and everything can be visited by bus." Both mention the lack of green space, with one noting "there is a lack of nature" and the other that "in terms of nature, it could be better, but you can't expect that in the middle of a city." Noise from students and partygoers comes up too, though neither reviewer sees it as a serious drawback. The neighbourhood is dominated by young people, with 40% of residents aged 15 to 25 and 78% of households being single-person. Based on two reviews, this is a neighbourhood that suits those who want city life at their door. For more on the area, see the Marewijk neighbourhood.
