De Kooi, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis end-of-terrace house on Lombokstraat sits in the lively Leiden-Noord area. Built in 1978, it offers 77 m² of living space on an 88 m² plot, with energy label C. The asking price of €499,500 is 29% above the neighbourhood average of €386,542, which puts it on the high side compared to other end-of-terrace houses in Leiden.
The neighbourhood De Kooi is a densely populated urban area with over 6,300 residents. Two residents share their views: one says, "Unfortunately I live here! Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly," while another calls it "a normal neighbourhood like you usually know" but notes "a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend." The neighbourhood has a mix of ages, with many young adults and a high proportion of single-person households. Based on two reviews, opinions are divided.
For daily shopping, Hoogvliet is just around the corner and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Primary schools De Springplank and De Singel are within a five-minute walk, and secondary school Marecollege is also close by. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just a couple of streets away. The municipality Leiden offers further amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Mijn Huis Verkoop Ik Zelf and also appears on Pararius, so it is available through several channels.

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..
