Rijndijkbuurt: a mixed, authentic neighbourhood
The neighbourhood Rijndijkbuurt scores a 7.19 out of 10 from two reviews. One resident calls it a "Lovely neighbourhood", "Nice, friendly neighbourhood where people see each other and help where they can. The authentic appearance of the houses and convenient location relative to the centre of Leiden." Another is more critical: "there are nice parks to walk in, but unfortunately they are broken up by roads. Community gets a 2 because in my opinion nobody is really connected. No community centre, but also, nobody WANTS to connect with the neighbours either. Houses are poorly renovated. Lots of schools. Good amenities." The area is densely urban (4,042 addresses per km²) and home to a mix of ages, with many one-person households.
