Pieterswijk is right in the centre of Leiden, between the three student associations. One resident describes it as "Busy but cosy": "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." The neighbourhood has a very high density of 5,945 addresses per km², making it strongly urban. Most households are single-person (1,920 out of 2,380), and the average household size is just 1.2. The resident also notes: "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." This is based on one review. Read more about the neighbourhood Pieterswijk.
For daily groceries, Ekoplaza is just around the corner, with Hoogvliet a couple of streets away and Albert Heijn a five-minute walk.

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.
