Pieterswijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis listing does not state a house number, postcode, property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €2,575 per month, the rent is 17% above the neighbourhood average of €2,200, which puts it on the high side compared to other rental homes in Leiden.
Pieterswijk is right in the centre of Leiden, between the three student associations. One resident describes it as "busy but cosy": there's daytime bustle from tourists and evening activity from students, which they find cosy rather than disturbing. The neighbourhood has plenty of nice restaurants and a supermarket nearby, plus the water and the Hortus. However, getting in by car can be tricky because of restrictions and detours, and the resident feels there isn't enough greenery, most plants come from residents, not the municipality. The neighbourhood Pieterswijk is densely populated, with mostly single-person households and a young population.
For daily shopping, Ekoplaza is on your doorstep, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk away. For primary schools, Haanstra Basisschool and OBS Lucas van Leyden are a couple of streets away. The municipality Leiden offers a compact city centre with everything within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via CN Makelaar.

It's right in the centre of Leiden, between the 3 associations. There's not only daytime bustle from tourists but also in the evening from all the students walking through the neighbourhood. Personally, I find it very cosy and not disturbing. Furthermore, there are plenty of nice little restaurants and a supermarket nearby. You live close to the water and the Hortus, so there's plenty to do. Unfortunately, getting into this neighbourhood by car is a bit of a course because you're not allowed everywhere and sometimes you have to take huge detours. In my opinion, there isn't enough greenery in the neighbourhood; we do have a park, but more trees could be planted in the streets and surroundings. Most of the greenery is often from the people who live there, not from the municipality. Otherwise, I'd say the housing situation is fine. There are some association houses, owner-occupied houses, and plenty of rental properties.
