Life in Leyenburg

One resident says: "Goed bereikbare, rustige buurt" and notes that while the area is quiet with all facilities within walking distance, there is often litter near the underground containers and many cars parked incorrectly. Another resident describes it as a cosy old neighbourhood with older houses that could use some maintenance, high parking pressure, but cosy shopping centres and good public transport.
