De Kooi, Leiden
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Lombokstraat in Leiden is a compact city home. This listing does not state an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €249,000, the asking price is 36% below the neighbourhood average of €386,542, which is keen given the smaller floor area, though the home is 67% smaller than the average 76 m² in De Kooi. For context, studios in Leiden vary widely in price.
De Kooi is a densely built urban neighbourhood with a mix of pre-war housing and modern flats. Based on two reviews, residents have mixed feelings. One resident says: "Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly, drug dealers under the bridge, drug users around and even in bad weather in the flat, the housing association doesn't want to understand!" Another describes it as "a normal neighbourhood like you usually know" but notes "a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend, and also children who get up to a lot of mischief." The area has a high proportion of single-person households and a young population, with many residents aged 25,45. For more context, see the De Kooi neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Primary schools are within walking distance: De Springplank is a couple of streets away, and De Singel and De Viersprong are both about 471 metres. Secondary education is also close, with Marecollege. A park or public garden is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner.

Too little police control is causing the neighbourhood to deteriorate rapidly, drug dealers under the bridge, drug users around and even in bad weather in the flat, the housing association doesn't want to understand! Also many foreign residents in the flat and in the neighbourhood. The mayor and aldermen do nothing about it either. Leiden Noord is in decline! Bins disappear and it's normal for people to throw everything on the ground. Cleaning up dog poop, forget it, you can hardly pick it up anymore because the grass is much too high, so-called care for insects, in my opinion just a cheap cutback. The flat is also getting dirtier. They keep raising the costs but the escape routes haven't been cleaned for almost 5 years. Positive is that there are shops at Kooiplein and in the building there is the library and schools, secondary education at Sumatrastraat. Too bad that not only the government sees the car as a cash cow but the municipality now too.
Auto-translated to English by AIWell, it's actually a normal neighbourhood like you usually know. However, you do have a lot of drunk people sometimes in the park at the weekend, and also children who get up to a lot of mischief. For the rest, it is a pleasant neighbourhood, but unfortunately we don't have as nice contact with our neighbours as before. My neighbourhood has changed a lot compared to my childhood since we had an old neighbour lady who was very close to us. Felt like family..
