Living in Hoge Mors, Leiden
Hoge Mors is a quiet, somewhat reserved neighbourhood on the west side of Leiden, nestled between the Morssinge and the Churchilllaan. The neighbourhood has a clear post-war character: you will mainly find porch flats and terraced houses from the 1950s and 1960s, with occasionally a more recent addition. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for its architectural appeal, but rather for a certain peace and clarity that residents appreciate.
Green space plays a central role in the experience of the neighbourhood. Residents regularly mention the park as one of the strong points. Reviewer Kamman writes: "Good experiences, nice people, plenty of space, a nice dog walking area and a beautiful park with play space for children." Another resident confirms this picture, but also adds a caveat: the park is not lit in the evening and sometimes homeless people stay in the bushes. That is honest information for anyone considering buying a home here, especially as a family. During the day, the park is well-maintained and fully used.
In terms of amenities, Hoge Mors is functional but not extensive. Basic necessities can be found in the neighbourhood, but for a wide range of shops you need to go to the nearby Merenwijk shopping centre or Leiden city centre. Residents give the sub-score for amenities a 7.0, the lowest of all categories, confirming this picture. Schools in the immediate vicinity meet the needs of young families; the sub-score for education stands at 8.0. The neighbourhood also scores well on safety (8.0), sense of community (8.0) and green space (8.0).
Accessibility is reasonable. Leiden Central can be reached by bike in about ten minutes, and via the Churchilllaan you have quick access to the A44 towards Amsterdam or The Hague. Several bus lines connect the neighbourhood to the station and other parts of the city. The sub-score for accessibility is 7.5, indicating it is good but not exceptional.
Compared to neighbouring Lage Mors, Hoge Mors has a slightly quieter character and more social housing in the mix. The nearby Transvaalbuurt has a different building structure with more pre-war homes.

Cosy flat with many elderly residents. A nice dog walking area that I look out onto. Also a beautiful park. However, too few shops, so little choice unfortunately. Only the park is not lit and there are regularly homeless people who also sleep in the bushes! The park is well maintained though. In short, I am very satisfied with the neighbourhood.
