The Merenwijk-Centrum neighbourhood

Most households here are single people, and a large share of residents are 65 or older, so the streets tend to be quiet and neighbourly. The area is densely built, with a high address density, yet the park is just around the corner. There are no resident reviews to draw on, but the mix of ages and the green setting give the neighbourhood a settled, unhurried feel. For more on the area, see the Merenwijk-Centrum neighbourhood.

The train station is about 3.9 km away, which is a manageable trip for commuters. The wider municipality of Leiden offers plenty beyond the immediate neighbourhood, from the historic centre to the lakes.
