Jacob Catsstraat 25
Bovenveen zuid · 2274 GS Voorburg
A pre-war apartment with character
This 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 offered generous living space, though the D energy label meant heating costs would be something to factor in. The last known asking price of €575,000 was on the high side compared to other apartments in Leidschendam-Voorburg, reflecting its size and location. This home has not been online since 29 September 2026.

Frequently asked questions
About Jacob Catsstraat 25, Voorburg
Was €575,000 a fair price for this apartment?
At 118 m² and in a sought-after part of Voorburg, the price was on the high side compared to other apartments in Leidschendam-Voorburg. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but it's certainly not cheap.
What is the neighbourhood like?
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.
How far is the train station?
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.
What shops and schools are nearby?
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.
What did energy label D mean for costs?
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.
Is there outdoor space?
The listing did 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.
