Bovenveen zuid, Leidschendam-Voorburg
NeighbourhoodThis 1940s apartment on Jacob Catsstraat sits in a lively part of Voorburg, where the streets are lined with mature trees and the pace is unhurried. At 118 m² it offers generous living space, though the D energy label means heating costs will be something to factor in. The asking price of €575,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Leidschendam-Voorburg, reflecting its size and location.
The neighbourhood Bovenveen zuid is a compact residential area with around 1,150 residents. It's a mix of ages, with a noticeable number of families and a good share of single-person households. The streets are calm, and the community feel is strong. No resident reviews are available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the data: mostly owner-occupied homes, a low crime count, and a very high density of addresses, you're never far from a neighbour.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Schools are within easy reach too: Sint-Maartenscollege (secondary) is a five-minute walk, and De Parachute primary school is just beyond that. The municipality Leidschendam-Voorburg keeps the area well maintained, with a park or public garden on your doorstep and a restaurant just around the corner for when you don't feel like cooking.

At 118 m² and in a sought-after part of Voorburg, the price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Leidschendam-Voorburg. The 1940s build and D energy label mean you'll have higher running costs than a modern home, but the size and location are strong positives. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's certainly not cheap.
Bovenveen zuid is a quiet, residential area with a mix of families and singles. It's very densely built, so you're close to neighbours, but the streets are calm. There are few reported crimes, and most homes are owner-occupied. The area has a good number of children and a balanced age spread, giving it a settled, family-friendly feel.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes commuting to The Hague or Leiden straightforward without needing a car.
Jumbo and Albert Heijn are both within a five-minute walk, so daily groceries are easy. For schools, Sint-Maartenscollege (secondary) is about 500 m away, and De Parachute primary school is a similar distance. There are plenty of other options within a couple of kilometres.
Label D is average for a pre-war home, not the most efficient, but not the worst either. You can expect higher gas bills than a modern A-label property, especially in winter. The exact amount depends on usage, but it's worth budgeting for.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated either, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor space. The nearby park or public garden (0.3 km away) can serve as your green escape.

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
