boerhaavedistrict & vogelwijk

The Boerhaavedistrict and Vogelwijk together form an attractive and varied residential area in Leiden. The Boerhaavedistrict is close to Leiden Central Station and the city center. It has a well-maintained and appealing look thanks to the many new-build homes. The neighborhood offers a mix of characterful houses, modern apartments, family homes, and townhouses.

Peaceful and child-friendly

Vogelwijk lies right next to the Boerhaavedistrict and has a calm character. The area features wide streets lined with family homes, charming 1930s houses, and apartments. It’s a favorite among families due to its child-friendly environment, playgrounds, and nearby schools. For shopping, the closest street is Terweeplein in Oegstgeest, just around the corner from the neighborhoods. Sports facilities abound: there’s the well-known athletics club in the north of the area, and just beyond it, the popular UVS football club. Adjacent to the neighborhoods are the renowned Bio Science Park and famous museums like Naturalis and Rijksmuseum Boerhaave. Thanks to excellent cycling and public transport links, this is an ideal spot for anyone seeking central, practical living with plenty of recreational options nearby.
