Hoge Mors is a leafy corner of Leiden with a mix of families and older residents. Two residents describe it as a "nice neighbourhood with park" and "a great home in a nice neighbourhood". One notes: "Cosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park." The other adds: "Good experiences, nice people, plenty of space, a beautiful dog walking area and a nice park with play space for children!" The neighbourhood Hoge Mors has a high proportion of single-person households and a strong urban feel, yet the park offers a green escape.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner. For a bigger shop, Albert Heijn and Dirk are a ten-minute walk away. Families with young children have two primary schools within a couple of streets away: De Morskring and Basisschool Pacelli. The municipality Leiden also offers a train station two kilometres away, handy for commutes to The Hague or Amsterdam.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Heemskerk Makelaardij-Hypotheken-Verzekeringen and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

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.
