Resident Chris describes it aptly: "An open and cosy neighbourhood with many different types of people. I feel safe in the neighbourhood and all amenities are within walking distance. Every now and then a neighbourhood drink is held at someone's home in the district." Those neighbourhood drinks are typical of the character of Wijk 00: it is not an anonymous dormitory suburb, but a place where neighbours know each other. Resident Jane specifically mentions the shops within walking distance and the good bus service as plus points.
The district is made up of very different neighbourhoods, each with its own character. Around Winkelhof you will find the shopping centre with daily groceries and catering.

In terms of accessibility, the district scores an 8.2. The A4 and N206 are nearby, and by bus you are within a quarter of an hour at Leiden Central. This makes the district popular with commuters. The green character, including the Oude Spoortracé as a walking and cycling route, is consistently mentioned by residents as a strong point.

Renting in Wijk 00: too expensive for starters, a good option for families and dual-income households
With an average rent of €1,513 in the free sector, renting a home in Wijk 00 is most realistic for dual-income households and households with an above-average income. The district has relatively many over-45s (nearly 8,000 residents are over 45), but families with children are also well represented. For single starters with a smaller budget, the supply is limited: the lower end of the market starts at €910, but those are exceptions. In that case, also consider Wijk 01 or the supply in Wijk 02. Those who prefer to buy: with a WOZ value below the municipal average, owner-occupied homes in Wijk 00 are worth considering as an alternative to renting.
