De Kooi, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Ringkade sits in a lively part of Leiden-Noord, with the daily essentials just a short walk away. At €350,000, the asking price is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €355,000, making it a keen entry point for a home in this area. Compared to other apartments in Leiden, it offers a straightforward layout with an energy label B, so heating costs should be manageable.
De Kooi is a dense urban neighbourhood with a mix of pre-war and newer housing. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided. One resident says: "Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly, drug dealers under the bridge, drug users around and even in bad weather in the flat, the housing association doesn't want to understand!" Another describes it as "a normal neighbourhood like you usually know. However, you do have a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend, and also children who get up to a lot of mischief." The area has a high proportion of single-person households and a young population, with many residents aged 25-45. For more context, see the De Kooi neighbourhood.
Your morning bread run is easy: Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. For families, primary schools De Springplank and De Singel are within a short walk, while secondary school Marecollege is 350 m away. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner. The municipality of Leiden provides the broader setting, with its historic centre and amenities a short bike ride away. See more about the municipality of Leiden.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Kerkvliet Makelaars.

Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly, drug dealers under the bridge, drug users around and even in bad weather in the flat, the housing association doesn't want to understand! Also many foreign residents in the flat and in the neighbourhood. The mayor and aldermen do nothing about it either. Leiden Noord is in decline! Bins disappear and it's normal for people to throw everything on the ground. Cleaning up dog poop, forget it, you can hardly pick it up anymore because the grass is much too high, so-called care for insects, in my opinion just a cheap cutback. The flat is also getting dirtier. They keep raising the costs but the escape routes haven't been cleaned for almost 5 years. Positive is that there are shops at Kooiplein and in the building there is the library and schools, secondary education at Sumatrastraat. Too bad that not only the government sees the car as a cash cow but the municipality now too.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, it's actually a normal neighbourhood like you usually know. However, you do have a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend, and also children who get up to a lot of mischief. For the rest, it is a pleasant neighbourhood, but unfortunately we don't have as nice contact with our neighbours as before. My neighbourhood has changed a lot compared to my childhood since we had an old neighbour lady who was very close to us. Felt like family..
