NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Koningin Wilhelminalaan in Voorburg is a pre-war home with a surprisingly modern energy label A. At €650,000, the asking price sits 22% above the neighbourhood average of €531,200, which puts it on the high side compared to other apartments in Leidschendam-Voorburg.
The neighbourhood Voorburg Noord zuid gets mixed reviews from its two residents. One says: "could use some maintenance, 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, parking nuisance, public transport at least a fifteen-minute walk away, noise pollution from the Utrechtsebaan (A12)." The other calls it "a cosy neighbourhood with a nice park with a playground and for dog owners there is also a spot and it's a social neighbourhood we look out for each other." The area is densely built with mostly pre-war homes, and many households are families with children.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Primary school De Parachute is on your doorstep, while secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are a ten-minute walk. The park and playground are a couple of streets away, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Agterdenbosch NVM makelaars.

- 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

About Koningin Wilhelminalaan 420, Voorburg
The asking price is 22% above the neighbourhood average of €531,200, which makes it one of the more expensive options in Voorburg Noord zuid. The home has a modern energy label A, which is rare for a pre-war building, and that may partly justify the premium. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the combination of old character and high efficiency.
Residents are divided: one mentions noise from the A12, parking issues and litter, while another describes it as a cosy, social neighbourhood with a nice park and playground. The area is very urban with a high density of addresses, and most homes were built before 1945. It is a mixed area with both families and singles.
The nearest train station is 1.1 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. That is a reasonable distance for daily commuting, though one resident noted that public transport is at least a fifteen-minute walk away, so it may depend on which part of the street you are on.
Primary school De Parachute is just 178 m away, so very close. For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege (826 m) and Gymnasium Novum (921 m) are within a ten-minute walk. There are also several other schools within a couple of kilometres.
The home has energy label A, which is excellent for a building from 1921. It means the home is well-insulated and energy-efficient, so heating costs should be relatively low. In the neighbourhood, only 7.1% of homes have label A, so this is a standout feature.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not stated either, so it is likely that this apartment does not have private outdoor space.
