The Pieterswijk neighbourhood
Based on one review, the Pieterswijk neighbourhood gets a 6.88 out of 10. One resident says: "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." They add that there are "plenty of nice little restaurants and a supermarket nearby" and that you live "close to the water and the Hortus". The same resident notes that getting in by car "is a bit of a course because you're not allowed everywhere" and that there "isn't enough greenery in the neighbourhood". CBS figures show a young population, with 44% aged 15 to 25 and 36% aged 25 to 45, and 82% of households are single-person.
