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..

About Lage Rijndijk 46, Leiden
The asking price of €529,000 is 37% above the neighbourhood average of €386,542. However, this home has 108 m² of floor area, which is 42% larger than the neighbourhood average of 76 m². The price per square metre works out to about €4,898, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,330 per m². So the price reflects the extra space.
The energy label is E. This is a relatively low rating, meaning the home is not very energy-efficient. Heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 44% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
One resident reports drug dealers under the bridge and drug users in the area, and mentions a lack of police control. Another resident says there are sometimes drunk people in the park at weekends. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 244, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare.
One resident says contact with neighbours is not as nice as before, and the neighbourhood has changed since their childhood. Another resident mentions many foreign residents in the flat and neighbourhood. The area has a mix of households, with many single-person households and a relatively young population.
The train station is 2.8 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short cycle ride.
Primary schools De Springplank (495 m), De Singel (605 m), and De Viersprong (605 m) are all within a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, Marecollege is 637 m away. A resident also mentions secondary education at Sumatrastraat.
The plot size is 64 m², but the listing does not specify whether this includes a garden. The home is a terraced house, so it may have a small courtyard or garden, but this is not confirmed in the data.
