The d'Oude Morsch neighbourhood

d'Oude Morsch is a compact, historic neighbourhood right in the centre of Leiden. With 850 residents, it is densely populated and very urban. Most households are single-person (485 out of 650), and there are few families with children. The age mix leans young: a third of residents are between 25 and 45. One resident describes it as "Fun and cosy", adding: "Quite a lot of nuisance but otherwise always cosy and easily accessible." The neighbourhood has a high crime rate (140 total incidents), which may reflect its central, busy character.

Life on the street

Daily life here is very walkable. For groceries, Jumbo is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets within a five-minute walk, including AH to go and Aldi. For primary education, Vrije School Mareland is a five-minute walk away, and several secondary schools are within a ten-minute walk, such as Beroepscollege Leystede and Bonaventura Lyceum. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making it easy to get out of town. The municipality of Leiden offers all the amenities of a historic city, from restaurants to cultural venues.
