Poelgeest is a quiet neighbourhood, it has a hair salon, gym, primary school... It's also next to a polder with rich nature and birds, though they do poop a lot over you.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe location of Poelgeest is favourable for the worker, but also for the student. Leiden is nearby and otherwise you can get on the motorway to go further away. However, you do have to leave Poelgeest to do groceries or something like that. There is also only one small school. You don't have to worry about unsafety or cleanliness. People know each other and arguments don't arise. Houses are beautiful. The many speed bumps are rather unnecessary. Unfortunately, there is only one road for cars to leave Poelgeest, which is not good if you want to go the other way. A new road is being built that leads to it, but that will take another year and that road is also not optimal. All in all, the neighbourhood is fine.
