De Kooi through residents' eyes
De Kooi has a mixed reputation, based on two reviews. One resident is critical: "Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly, drug dealers under the bridge, drug users around and even in bad weather in the flat, the housing association doesn't want to understand!" Another takes a more balanced view: "Well, it's actually a normal neighbourhood like you usually know. However, you do have a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend, and also children who get up to a lot of mischief." The neighbourhood has around 6,185 residents, with many single-person households. The De Kooi neighbourhood has its own character within Leiden-Noord.
