About Jacob Catsstraat 26, Voorburg
At 119 m², the rent works out to about €18.90 per m². That is on the high side for an apartment in this part of Voorburg, but the size is well above average for a rental in the area. The pre-war character and energy label C are also factors. Without comparable listings in the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say whether it is keen or overpriced, but the market in Leidschendam-Voorburg tends to support higher rents for larger apartments.
Bovenveen zuid is a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. It has a young population, with many residents between 25 and 45, and a mix of singles and couples. The crime rate is low, with 45 incidents reported. There are plenty of amenities nearby, including supermarkets, schools, and a park just around the corner. The area is well connected, with a train station a ten-minute walk away.
The nearest train station is 0.9 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That makes it easy to reach The Hague or Leiden without a car.
There are several schools within walking distance. Sint-Maartenscollege (secondary) is 475 m away, Corbulo Tech & Design College (secondary) is 567 m, and De Parachute primary school is 571 m. Gymnasium Novum is also close at 602 m. So whether you have children or work at a school, the options are good.
The apartment has energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient, but not top of the range. You can expect moderate energy bills, though not as low as a modern A-label home. The pre-war construction (1941) means some insulation may be older, but label C is still a decent score for a building of that era.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given either, so it is safe to assume there is no private outdoor space. The neighbourhood does have a park or public garden just 0.3 km away, which is around the corner.
