It's right in the centre of Leiden, between the 3 associations. There's not only daytime bustle from tourists but also in the evening from all the students walking through the neighbourhood. Personally, I find it very cosy and not disturbing. Furthermore, there are plenty of nice little restaurants and a supermarket nearby. You live close to the water and the Hortus, so there's plenty to do. Unfortunately, getting into this neighbourhood by car is a bit of a course because you're not allowed everywhere and sometimes you have to take huge detours. In my opinion, there isn't enough greenery in the neighbourhood; we do have a park, but more trees could be planted in the streets and surroundings. Most of the greenery is often from the people who live there, not from the municipality. Otherwise, I'd say the housing situation is fine. There are some association houses, owner-occupied houses, and plenty of rental properties.

The energy label is D. This is a moderate rating, meaning the home is not particularly energy-efficient. Heating costs are likely to be higher than in a modern home, but the exact amount depends on usage.
Pieterswijk is very lively, with tourists during the day and students in the evening. One resident finds it cosy and not disturbing, but if you prefer quiet, this may not be the place. The neighbourhood has a high density of addresses and many restaurants nearby.
