Voorburg Noord zuid, Leidschendam-Voorburg
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Koningin Wilhelminalaan in Voorburg dates from 1923 and has an energy label F, so heating costs will be noticeable. With 75 m² of living space, it's a compact home in a street where the housing stock is largely pre-war and could use some maintenance, as one resident notes. The asking price of €375,000 is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €531,200, which makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Leidschendam-Voorburg.
The neighbourhood Voorburg Noord zuid has a mixed character. One resident describes it as "a cosy neighbourhood with a nice park with a playground and also for dog owners" and adds that "it's a social neighbourhood we look out for each other." Another resident, however, points out downsides: "one-sided, poorly maintained housing with a low energy label for a large part of the street," plus litter and parking nuisance from commercial vans. The neighbourhood is very urban, with a high density of addresses, and the population is diverse: many households with children, but also a fair share of singles and couples.
Daily errands are easy: a Jumbo is a couple of streets away, and an Albert Heijn is just around the corner. For primary education, De Parachute is a five-minute walk, and secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are also within walking distance. The municipality Leidschendam-Voorburg offers a park or public garden just around the corner, and a restaurant is a couple of streets away. The train station is a ten-minute walk, making commuting straightforward.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Brix Makelaars - Voorburg and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Koningin Wilhelminalaan 202, Voorburg
The asking price of €375,000 is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €531,200, which makes it keen compared to other homes in Voorburg Noord zuid. However, the apartment is smaller than average (75 m² vs 121 m²) and has an energy label F, so the lower price reflects the size and energy efficiency. Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €457,200.
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should expect significant energy bills.
The neighbourhood has many families: 610 households with children out of 1,900 total. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like De Parachute (450 m) and Basisschool De Lusthof (668 m). One resident calls it "a cosy neighbourhood with a nice park with a playground" and says people look out for each other.
One resident mentions poorly maintained housing, litter on the street, parking nuisance from commercial vans, and noise pollution from the A12 motorway. Public transport is at least a fifteen-minute walk away, and apartments on the top floor exceed the noise standard.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting by train feasible, though not on your doorstep.
The closest supermarket is Jumbo at 769 m, followed by Albert Heijn at 820 m and another Albert Heijn at 900 m. So daily grocery shopping is within a ten-minute walk.
Yes, one resident reports parking nuisance due to inadequate enforcement, especially commercial vans of people who largely do not live on the street. Vans park on corners, pavements, and in the green zone because they are too long for regular spots. Broken kerbstones are also mentioned.
