Lage Mors, Leiden
This apartment on Damlaan in Leiden is a social housing rental, which makes it a different proposition from the open market. At €947 per month, the rent sits well below the average for the area, and it is part of the social housing stock. For context, apartments in Leiden vary widely in price, but this one is keenly priced for what it is.
The Lage Mors neighbourhood is a mixed area with a strong urban feel, given the high address density. One resident describes it as "Going downhill fast", noting that it used to be very pleasant but that consideration for others and maintenance have declined. Based on this single review, the picture is not glowing, but it is just one perspective. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households, and a mix of ages, with a notable share of residents over 65.
For daily errands, the Jumbo supermarket is just around the corner, and there are several other options within a short walk. Basisschool Pacelli is right on your doorstep, with De Morskring a couple of streets away, so school runs are easy. The train station is a ten-minute walk, and a park is just around the corner for a bit of green. The municipality of Leiden provides the wider context, with its historic centre and university life.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
It used to be a very pleasant neighbourhood. Nowadays, nobody considers others anymore. The maintenance by the municipality and of private gardens is also very poor.

How residents experience their district
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.

Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is quite simple along a road, and there are often students outside in the evenings. It is reasonably safe as long as all doors remain closed.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a safe neighbourhood with nice people, I have never had any bad experiences, but sometimes bikes are stolen, but no major burglaries, there is a supermarket, station, GP and school all within walking distance, sometimes it is a bit dirty

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.
