Renting in District 01: limited supply, but spacious homes
District 01 is predominantly an owner-occupied district. Of the 1,391 homes, only 18% are in the rental sector, of which 12% are owned by housing associations and 6% by other landlords. This means that the private rental supply is limited. In the past twelve months, 9 private rental homes were let in this district, with an average rent of €1,607 per month and an average floor area of 107 m². The range ran from €460 to €2,200 per month (excluding social housing). By comparison, the average WOZ value in District 01 is €508,000, well above the municipal average of €413,000 for Leiderdorp. That price level reflects the character of the district: solid, established, and not cheap. For the current supply and the most recent average rent, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Quiet, green and safe: a district for those who live there
District 01 has a clear profile. The largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, families with children are the most common household type, and 42% of residents are married. That says something about the atmosphere: this is not a district where you expect much nightlife or urban activity, but a place where people consciously choose peace and space. Residents give the district a 7.5 on the district page of District 01, where you can also find all sub-scores and detailed district data. Green space (9.0) and cleanliness (9.0) score notably high, which matches the image of a well-maintained, green living environment. Safety scores an 8.0.
One resident describes it as follows: "I don't have much contact with neighbours myself, but everyone is friendly and I feel safe in my neighbourhood." That combination of low threshold and high safety seems characteristic. The community score (6.0) and accessibility (6.0) are less strong, which is honest: District 01 is not a place where everything is around the corner or where you spontaneously run into your neighbours. For daily shopping and amenities, you are partly dependent on the car or bicycle. Public transport accessibility is limited compared to more centrally located parts of Leiderdorp.
The district consists of several neighbourhoods, each with its own character. The Doeskwartier is one of the residential cores within the district, as are the Oranjewijk and 't Heerlijk Recht. The Buitengebied also falls under District 01 and contributes to the district's green appearance. As for schools, residents are satisfied: the education score stands at 8.0. Several primary schools are accessible in the neighbourhood, and you don't have to drive far for secondary schools either. More information about amenities and municipal policy can be found on the website of the municipality of Leiderdorp.
Renting in District 01: who does this suit and who not?
Renting in District 01 is mainly interesting for people who consciously choose a quiet, green environment and are not dependent on many urban amenities within walking distance. Families looking for a spacious rental home and willing to pay the private sector rent fit this profile well. The average income in the district is €44,700, which indicates that this is not a cheap district. For those looking for an affordable apartment to rent in District 01 or dependent on social housing, opportunities are small: the housing association stock is limited and waiting times for social housing are long. In that case, also consider the supply of owner-occupied homes in District 01 if your assets allow it, or look at rental homes in Leiderdorp more broadly.
