About Damstraat 55, Leidschendam
The asking price of €725,000 is 20% above the WOZ value of €602,000, which was set on 1 January 2025. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation for tax purposes, not the current market value. This difference is a fact, and whether it is justified depends on the condition and features of the home, which you can assess yourself.
The apartment has four rooms in total: three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all on a single floor. The living area is 144 m² according to the agent, while the BAG registration lists 136 m². There is a balcony and a parking space in the garage. The home is on the second floor and has a free view.
The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have lower energy costs compared to less efficient labels. The agent also mentions double glazing and wall insulation, which contribute to energy efficiency. However, the label itself does not guarantee a specific level of insulation or energy consumption.
According to area-level data, the foundation risk is low, but the soil is clay, which is sensitive to settling. The risk of pluvial flooding during heavy rain is elevated, while the current flood risk from rivers or sea is low, and remains low in 2050.

The area-level data shows that road traffic noise is 68 dB, which is above the Dutch noise norm. Rail traffic noise is 30 dB and air traffic noise is 38 dB, both below the norm.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
So far quite good, I can walk around in the dark and feel safe
Auto-translated to English by AIGreat neighbourhood to live in (with a family). Easily accessible due to its favourable location near the motorway, but also plenty of options to travel to surrounding cities by public transport. In recent years, many redevelopments have taken place within Damcentrum, which has greatly improved the area. Both in terms of facilities and public space.

Public transport is no longer available. If you don't have a car, you're dependent on volunteers. Shops within walking distance used to be fine. Nowadays, you have to go elsewhere for the vast majority of your groceries. That's a shame.
Auto-translated to English by AISo far quite good, I can walk around in the dark and feel safe
Auto-translated to English by AICosiness and easy to get everywhere like the motorway, the mall, everywhere. It's a reasonably quiet neighbourhood except on New Year's. View of the Vliet is beautiful and for the rest I'm happy with my spot.

How residents experience their municipality
You can never walk through the park normally without being spoken to or almost being hit by a fatbike on the pavement. A group is taking over the park and apparently no one can do anything about it. Not a safe neighbourhood for my children
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a very soothing neighbourhood with friendly people. It's certainly not easy to reach and many people don't know it, but it's a cosy neighbourhood. The view is beautiful, almost nothing ever happens here, it's close to the countryside and you have many farmers (so always nice fresh products) all in all it's a cosy top neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AICosy neighbourhood with many lovely neighbours
Auto-translated to English by AII have lived here my whole life and have never really experienced any trouble
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is a nice neighbourhood. The people are real working-class folk. They gossip and love sensation.
Auto-translated to English by AII was born here, the neighbourhood has changed a lot in the past 34 years. In the past, people helped each other, now many divorced people. Greetings are no longer possible, and the biggest problem is the parking issues! And always noise from school, renovations, barking dogs, crying children.
Auto-translated to English by AIOften loitering figures from the psychiatric institution. No more social control after all the new construction. A lot of greenery removed. Neighbourhood has become an incoherent whole.
Auto-translated to English by AI- one-sided, poorly maintained housing with a low energy label for a large part of the street - a lot of litter on the street and in front gardens/planters - parking nuisance due to inadequate enforcement, especially commercial vans of people who largely do not live on this street / parking on corners and pavements (also trucks) and in the green zone because the vans are too long for a regular spot / broken kerbstones - public transport at least a fifteen-minute walk away - noise pollution from the Utrechtsebaan (A12) / all apartments on the top floor exceed the noise standard
