How residents experience their district
I don't really have an experience but there are many nice people
Auto-translated to English by AIToo 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! Also many foreign residents in the flat and in the neighbourhood. The mayor and aldermen do nothing about it either. Leiden Noord is in decline! Bins disappear and it's normal for people to throw everything on the ground. Cleaning up dog poop, forget it, you can hardly pick it up anymore because the grass is much too high, so-called care for insects, in my opinion just a cheap cutback. The flat is also getting dirtier. They keep raising the costs but the escape routes haven't been cleaned for almost 5 years. Positive is that there are shops at Kooiplein and in the building there is the library and schools, secondary education at Sumatrastraat. Too bad that not only the government sees the car as a cash cow but the municipality now too.

Auto-translated to English by AIWell, 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. For the rest, it is a pleasant neighbourhood, but unfortunately we don't have as nice contact with our neighbours as before. My neighbourhood has changed a lot compared to my childhood since we had an old neighbour lady who was very close to us. Felt like family..

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.
