Most homes in the Hoge Mors and the Lage Mors were built in the 1930s. The high build quality and the green surroundings make the area very popular. With its wide variety of housing, it is an ideal place for first-time buyers who plan to move up the ladder.
The Morsdistrict comprises the neighbourhoods of Hoge Mors, Lage Mors and the Transvaalbuurt. Together with the Stevenshof and the Leeuwenhoek/Pesthuiswijk, which includes the Leiden Bio Science Park and the LUMC site, it forms the Stadsdeel West district. The area is bounded by the A44 motorway to the west and the Plesmanlaan to the north. From the Morsweg you can cycle into town within 5 minutes, and Leiden Centraal station is also just 5 minutes away by bike.
The Lage Mors is home to the spacious Park Kweeklust, with plenty of play areas for children. There is also a petting meadow between the Cruquiuslaan and the Jan Luykenlaan. In the Hoge Mors, work on the Morspark is well under way. You can also enjoy a lovely walk along the Hoge Mors on the ‘’De Morslint’’ walking route. It is a child-friendly neighbourhood with lots of primary schools, as well as many sports clubs for football, skating, rowing and table tennis, among others.
From the Morsweg you can cycle into town within 5 minutes, past the old Morspoort city gate. Leiden Centraal station is also just 5 minutes away by bike.
House prices here dipped somewhat during the crisis, but are now rising again, and homes are selling faster. The chances of a quick sale at the best possible price are therefore very good. The neighbourhoods are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their proximity to schools, green spaces and the centre. The architectural style of the homes in the Lage Mors (1930s) also plays a big part in this. In the Hoge Mors you will find a range of architectural styles and construction years, such as the Opaalstraat (1960s), the Rozenkwartsstraat (around 2013) and the Hoge Morsweg (1930s). Read more...
From a flat (Diamantplein, Opaalstraat, Tesselschadestraat, Jan Luykenlaan, Cruquiuslaan) you can easily move on to a family home (Roemer Visscherstraat, Brederostraat, Carneoolstraat, Koraalstraat). In general, the somewhat more expensive homes are found on the Vondellaan and the Hoge Morsweg.
