Rijndijkbuurt
Rijndijkbuurt is a densely built urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages and households. One resident describes it as a "Lovely neighbourhood" and says: "Nice, friendly neighbourhood where people see each other and help where they can. The authentic appearance of the houses and convenient location relative to the centre of Leiden." Another resident gives a more mixed view: "there are nice parks to walk in, but unfortunately they are broken up by roads. Community gets a 2 because in my opinion nobody is really connected. No community centre, but also, nobody WANTS to connect with the neighbours either. Houses are poorly renovated. Lots of schools. Good amenities." The neighbourhood Rijndijkbuurt has a high proportion of single-person households and a very strong urban character.

Frequently asked questions
About Hoge Rijndijk 14, Leiden
Is €795,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 30% above the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€609,438) and well above the median of €530,000. However, this apartment is also 35% smaller than the average home in the area (75 m² vs 116 m²). The price per square metre works out at €10,600, which is significantly higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,665 per m². So it is priced at a premium.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is F, which is a poor rating. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs are likely to be high. In the neighbourhood, half of the homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment, but you should expect higher energy bills.
How far is the train station?
Leiden Centraal station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well connected by public transport.

About 310 households have children, and there are several schools within walking distance, including primary and secondary schools. One resident notes that there are lots of schools and good amenities, but also mentions that the community is not very connected.
Are there parks nearby?

Police often around. On the grass field where children play, dogs are often walked and the owners leave the dog poop lying around.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's close to EVERYTHING - which is super nice, especially the station! The centre is also nice and close. The people are friendly and not loud. There's a lot of greenery and a park nearby. It's great!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is always quiet to live there, but when you need something from specific shops, it is necessary to leave the village. This also applies to restaurants or clubs, for example. It is a beautiful area along the water, but real parks or forests are missing here.

Experiences from Leiden
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.
