Pieterswijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Langebrug is right in the historic centre, where the streets buzz with students and tourists. At 59 m² it's a compact home, but with energy label B it's efficient to run. The rent of €729 is remarkably low for the area, 67% below the neighbourhood average of €2,200, making it a very keenly priced option. For context, the average apartments in Leiden in this segment typically go for much more.
Pieterswijk is the lively student heart of Leiden, packed with associations, restaurants and nightlife. One resident describes it as "Busy but cosy", adding: "It's right in the centre of Leiden, between the 3 associations. There's not only daytime bustle from tourists but also in the evening from all the students walking through the neighbourhood. Personally, I find it very cosy and not disturbing." The neighbourhood has a very high density of 5,945 addresses per km², so it's about as urban as it gets. Most households are single people (1,920 out of 2,380), and the average household size is just 1.2. The neighbourhood Pieterswijk is a true city-centre enclave.
For daily groceries, Ekoplaza is on your doorstep, and Hoogvliet is just around the corner. There are also two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Haanstra Basisschool and OBS Lucas van Leyden. The municipality Leiden offers a compact city where most essentials are within walking distance.

It's right in the centre of Leiden, between the 3 associations. There's not only daytime bustle from tourists but also in the evening from all the students walking through the neighbourhood. Personally, I find it very cosy and not disturbing. Furthermore, there are plenty of nice little restaurants and a supermarket nearby. You live close to the water and the Hortus, so there's plenty to do. Unfortunately, getting into this neighbourhood by car is a bit of a course because you're not allowed everywhere and sometimes you have to take huge detours. In my opinion, there isn't enough greenery in the neighbourhood; we do have a park, but more trees could be planted in the streets and surroundings. Most of the greenery is often from the people who live there, not from the municipality. Otherwise, I'd say the housing situation is fine. There are some association houses, owner-occupied houses, and plenty of rental properties.
