My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature. You occasionally see a tree, but you can't really call it green. Some initiative in this regard would be a good improvement. I am satisfied with almost all other aspects. For example, the supermarket, pharmacy and GP are nearby, and the underground waste bins are very convenient. The only other downside is that there is often a lot of noise from students and partygoers, but nothing unexpected. It's also true that there isn't really a strong neighbourhood feel. There are a few neighbours with whom we occasionally have a drink, but I don't even speak to the majority. This can be attributed to the fact that many students live here and is therefore not a serious drawback for me.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. 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. I don't feel unsafe when I come home late at night, as the neighbourhood is lively and so far there are no weird types around. In terms of nature, it could be better, but you can't expect that in the middle of a city. Fortunately, you only have to cycle or run a short distance to discover nature. It's a shame there is so little housing, while so many students are looking for a room, because I would definitely recommend the neighbourhood.
