Leiden Zuidwest
Leiden Zuidwest is a spacious, green district with a varied range of homes. The combination of shops, schools, sports facilities and plenty of room to enjoy the outdoors makes it a pleasant place to live for every generation.
Spacious and varied living
Much of Leiden Zuidwest took shape after the Second World War as an expansion area of the city. You can still see this in the spacious layout, wide streets and abundant greenery between the buildings. The housing is varied: apartments and walk-up flats alternate with family houses and newer residential developments, giving each part of Zuidwest its own character.
Plenty of amenities close by
A major advantage of Zuidwest is its wide range of amenities. Shopping centre De Luifelbaan is a central hub for daily groceries and a variety of shops. There are also schools, childcare, healthcare facilities and plenty of opportunities to play sport. With swimming pool De Vliet and various sports facilities in the area, there's also lots on offer for an active lifestyle.
Greenery and outdoor space
If you love being outdoors, Zuidwest has plenty to offer. Public gardens, green verges and water features create space between the buildings, while the Oostvlietpolder lies on the edge of the district. This open polder landscape is perfect for a walk or bike ride and brings the countryside surprisingly close to the city.
Renewal with an eye on the future
Investment in the living environment will continue in the years ahead. In various places, streets and public spaces are being renewed, with a focus on more greenery, road safety, biodiversity and a climate-resilient design. This way, Zuidwest continues to develop while retaining the spacious, green layout that characterises the district.
