Levendaal-Oost

One resident describes it as "lively and cosy," adding that it is a "nice safe neighbourhood where everything is within easy reach." The figures back that up: most households are single people, and the age profile skews young, with a large share of residents in their twenties and thirties.

For daily shopping, the Dekamarkt is on your doorstep, just 64 metres away, with a Hoogvliet a couple of streets further.

Frequently asked questions
About Hogewoerd, Leiden
Why is the rent so much higher than the neighbourhood average?
The asking rent of €2,375 per month is 29% above the average of €1,845 for rental homes in Levendaal-Oost. That average is based on a small number of listings, and this home sits at the top of the range, which runs from €1,125 to €2,375. The price reflects the central location, but without a floor area it is hard to judge the value per square metre.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
Levendaal-Oost scores 8.75 out of 10 from one resident review, which describes it as "lively and cosy" and a "nice safe neighbourhood where everything is within easy reach." It is a dense urban area with mostly single-person households and a young population, so the streets tend to be active and busy rather than quiet.
How close are the daily amenities?
The Dekamarkt supermarket is just 64 metres away, so daily groceries are on your doorstep. A Hoogvliet is about 400 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is roughly 550 metres. A park or green space is 200 metres away, and a restaurant is 300 metres. The train station is 1.3 km away, which is a reasonable walk.
What schools are nearby?

The Stedelijk Gymnasium is about 500 metres away, the Bonaventura College is around 560 metres, and the Lorentzschool primary school is roughly 730 metres. A primary school and secondary schools are all within about a ten-minute walk, which is convenient for families with children.
Why are there no property details in this listing?
Direct Wonen has published only the street and price on the listing channels. As a result, the location and neighbourhood figures are derived from the street name and may differ from the actual home.
Is the train station within walking distance?
The train station is 1.3 km from the property. That is a walk of roughly fifteen to twenty minutes, or a short cycle. The central location of Levendaal-Oost means most daily destinations are closer, but the station is still accessible on foot for those who prefer not to cycle.

Experiences from Binnenstad-Zuid
How residents experience their district
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.

Experiences from Leiden
How residents experience their municipality
Living here is fantastic. Beautiful, spacious and affordable apartment with 90m2 floor area. Indoor route to the supermarket. GP and the usual shops like Etos, Kruidvat, Bruna, Hema on the nearby square. Bus lines and main roads within 5 minutes. Also enough schools at every level. In short, "a place to be".

Auto-translated to English by AICosy 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.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a rather detached part of Leiden, with a strange mix of student complexes and houses. A lot of noise nuisance.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy, everyone chats with each other on the street. We are kept well informed about what is happening in the neighbourhood via a newsletter. And then an information evening is held. In the playground, the neighbourhood police officer could patrol the area more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThey keep an eye on each other. Everyone has a chat every now and then. More and more young families with children are moving in, so there's a bit more going on. Children playing, nice for the elderly who no longer work but are at home or alone.
