Marewijk, 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. The rent is €2,495 per month, which is 54% above the neighbourhood average of €1,615, a premium that reflects the central location. For context, the area has a mix of rental homes in Leiden, though this particular home's details remain unspecified.
Marewijk is a lively, densely populated part of Leiden with a very strong urban feel (over 6,000 addresses per km²). The population is young, nearly 40% are between 15 and 25, and most households are single-person. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the proximity to the centre and amenities, but note a lack of green space. One resident says: "My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature." Another adds: "I moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden." The neighbourhood feel is more transient, with many students, so don't expect a tight-knit community. For more on the area, see the Marewijk neighbourhood.
Daily errands are easy: a SPAR is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn, Ekoplaza and Dirk are all within a five-minute walk. For fresh bread or a quick shop, you're set. Primary schools are a ten-minute walk away, Haanstra Basisschool, Vrije School Mareland and OBS Lucas van Leyden are all within that range. The train station is a 1.7 km walk, so about 20 minutes on foot. The city centre, with its restaurants and cafés, is on your doorstep. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Leiden.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Rent2day Real Estate. The agent has not published the property type, floor area, year of construction or energy label, so the listing is incomplete.

My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful. Unfortunately, there is a lack of nature. You occasionally see a tree, but you can't really call it green. Some initiative in this regard would be a good improvement. I am satisfied with almost all other aspects. For example, the supermarket, pharmacy and GP are nearby, and the underground waste bins are very convenient. The only other downside is that there is often a lot of noise from students and partygoers, but nothing unexpected. It's also true that there isn't really a strong neighbourhood feel. There are a few neighbours with whom we occasionally have a drink, but I don't even speak to the majority. This can be attributed to the fact that many students live here and is therefore not a serious drawback for me.
Auto-translated to English by AII moved here two months ago and am very satisfied. I am within a few minutes' walk of the beautiful centre of Leiden. The station is also nearby and everything can be visited by bus. I don't feel unsafe when I come home late at night, as the neighbourhood is lively and so far there are no weird types around. In terms of nature, it could be better, but you can't expect that in the middle of a city. Fortunately, you only have to cycle or run a short distance to discover nature. It's a shame there is so little housing, while so many students are looking for a room, because I would definitely recommend the neighbourhood.

About Oude Rijn, Leiden
Rent2day Real Estate has published only the street and price on Pararius.
The rent is 54% above the neighbourhood average of €1,615, which is high. However, without knowing the floor area or property type, it's impossible to assess value per square metre. The median rent in Marewijk is €1,700, and the maximum among current listings is €2,150, so this home is at the top end.
Marewijk is a very urban, student-heavy area with a young population. It's lively and central, with shops and the city centre within walking distance. Residents mention a lack of nature and a weaker community feel, but appreciate the convenience and safety.
