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 €2,750 per month, the rent is 25% above the neighbourhood average of €2,200, which is on the high side. For context, see 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 restaurants and a supermarket nearby, plus the water and the Hortus. However, getting in by car can be tricky due to restrictions and detours, and the resident feels there isn't enough greenery, most plants come from residents, not the municipality. The housing mix includes association houses, owner-occupied homes and many rentals. For more, see the neighbourhood Pieterswijk.
For daily groceries, Ekoplaza is on your doorstep, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk away. Two primary schools are within a couple of streets away: Haanstra Basisschool and OBS Lucas van Leyden. The neighbourhood is densely populated with many students and young adults, and the train station is a ten-minute walk. For more about the area, see the municipality Leiden.
At the time of writing the home is listed via JM verhuur, JM verhuur, and Direct Wonen. The agent has not published the property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label.

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.
