How residents experience their district
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 AIAs the most beautiful city of cities, Leiden is at the top. There are beautiful old streets, the market and the town hall. I really love hearing that peculiar 'r', Leiden feels like home. And let them talk about what could be better, should be better and would be better. There is always something that could be better, but Leiden really, I love you!
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite a lot of nuisance but otherwise always cosy and easily accessible
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood in the centre and close to shops etc
Auto-translated to English by AIYou have everything you would expect in a historic city centre: shops, market, lots of hospitality with terraces, culture, water and boats, events, nice neighbours young and old, etc. Only for forests and mountains you have to go further away.

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 AII enjoy living here.
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIPolice often around. On the grass field where children play, dogs are often walked and the owners leave the dog poop lying around.
Auto-translated to English by AII don't really have an experience but there are many nice people
