The Pesthuiswijk
The Pesthuiswijk is a compact, modern corner of Leiden, and the figures paint a clear picture: it is overwhelmingly a neighbourhood of single-person households, with a large share of residents in their twenties and thirties. The housing stock is almost entirely rental, which gives the area a transient, student-friendly energy. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture here is drawn from the statistics. [The Pesthuiswijk neighbourhood]( /buurt/pesthuiswijk-leiden/) is one of the newer parts of the city, and its demographic profile is distinctly young.
Life on the street
Daily life here is straightforward. For groceries, an Aldi is just around the corner, with a Jumbo a couple of streets away and an Albert Heijn within a ten-minute walk. The nearest primary school, De Leidse Houtschool, is a five-minute walk, and there are several secondary schools within the same radius, including the Bonaventura Lyceum and the Visser 't Hooft Lyceum. The train station is a ten-minute walk, which makes commuting easy. [The municipality of Leiden]( /gemeente/leiden/) has a well-connected network of amenities, and this part of town is no exception.
