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 €2,450 per month, the price matches the median in the area, but without knowing the size it's hard to judge value. For more context, see 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. They note plenty of restaurants and a supermarket nearby, living close to the water and the Hortus. However, they mention that getting into the neighbourhood by car is tricky due to restrictions and detours, and that there isn't enough greenery, most plants come from residents, not the municipality. The neighbourhood has a very high density (5,945 addresses per km²) and is mostly student-oriented, with 45% of residents aged 15-25. For more on the area, see neighbourhood Pieterswijk.
For daily shopping, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away. Dekamarkt and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk. For schools, Haanstra Basisschool and OBS Lucas van Leyden are both within a five-minute walk. The neighbourhood has a park about a ten-minute walk away, and the train station is a fifteen-minute walk. For more on the municipality, see municipality Leiden.

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.
