De Kooi, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Ringkade sits in a lively part of Leiden-Noord. With 73 m² of living space and an energy label B, it's a practical home in a busy urban setting. The asking price of €375,000 is in line with the market, the average for apartments in Leiden sits around €386,000, so this one is keenly priced.
De Kooi is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 6,300 residents. It's a mix of ages, with many young adults and a fair number of families. The area has a strong urban feel, address density is high at 4,344 addresses per km². Based on two reviews, opinions are mixed. 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." Another describes it as "a normal neighbourhood like you usually know" but notes "a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend." For more context, see the De Kooi neighbourhood.
Daily shopping is easy: the Hoogvliet supermarket is on your doorstep, just 30 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. For schools, primary school De Springplank is a couple of streets away, and secondary school Marecollege is a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood also has a library and a park within walking distance. For a broader view of the area, check out the municipality of Leiden.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including De Wekker Makelaardij Leiden B.V.

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..

About Ringkade 61, Leiden
The asking price of €375,000 is slightly below the average sale price in De Kooi (€386,435) and close to the median (€355,000). Given the 73 m² floor area and energy label B, it's priced in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either.

Leiden's main train station is 2.8 km away, about a ten-minute cycle or a 35-minute walk.
