Marewijk, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis rental listing on Havenplein puts you right in the lively centre of Leiden. This listing does not state a house number, postcode, 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. At €725 per month, the rent is 55% below the neighbourhood average of €1,615, which is a keen price for a room in this area. For context, rooms in Leiden vary widely in price.
Marewijk is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a very strong city feel (address density over 6,000). It's home to about 3,000 people, mostly young adults aged 15 to 45, and many live alone, average household size is just 1.3. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the proximity to the centre and amenities. One resident says: "My neighbourhood is in the centre of Leiden, so everything is close by. I also think it's beautiful." 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." Both note a lack of nature, but that's expected in a city centre. Noise from students and partygoers is mentioned, but not seen as a serious drawback. There isn't a strong neighbourhood feel, partly because many students live here. For more, see the Marewijk neighbourhood.
Daily life here is all about convenience. The Albert Heijn supermarket is just around the corner, and a SPAR is a couple of streets away. For primary schools, De Pionier is a five-minute walk, and Vrije School Mareland is about a ten-minute walk. Secondary school Bonaventura College Burggravenlaan is also within walking distance. The train station is a 1.7 km walk, and the city centre with its restaurants and shops is on your doorstep. For more on the area, see the municipality of Leiden.

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.
