One resident calls it a "Lovely neighbourhood", "Nice, friendly neighbourhood where people see each other and help where they can. The authentic appearance of the houses and convenient location relative to the centre of Leiden." Another gives it a 6, saying: "Nice parks to walk in, but unfortunately they are broken up by roads. Community gets a 2 because in my opinion nobody is really connected. No community centre, but also, nobody WANTS to connect with the neighbours either. Houses are poorly renovated. Lots of schools. Good amenities." The area is densely urban, with mostly pre-war homes and a mix of families and singles.
Your daily bread comes from SPAR, just around the corner, or Dekamarkt a couple of streets away. For school runs, Bonaventura Agora Leiden is on your doorstep, and Stedelijk Gymnasium is a short walk.
