Voorburg Oud noord, Leidschendam-Voorburg
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Prins Hendrikstraat sits in a classic working-class neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. At 92 m² it's compact but well-proportioned, and the price of €370,000 is notably lower than the neighbourhood average, partly because the home is smaller than many in the area. For context, the average apartments in Leidschendam-Voorburg sells for more, so this is a keen entry point.
Three residents have rated the area 6.38 out of 10. One calls it "a real working-class neighbourhood" and says: "The people are real working-class folk. They gossip and love sensation." Another describes it as "restless" and notes parking issues and noise from school, renovations and barking dogs. A third simply says "real working-class people. You can't really deal with them." The neighbourhood Voorburg Oud noord is densely built with mostly pre-war homes, and the population includes many families and older residents.
For your morning bread, the Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. The Professor Casimirschool is on your doorstep, and the Dalton College is a couple of streets away for secondary education. A park or public garden is also just around the corner, giving you a green escape from the urban bustle. The municipality Leidschendam-Voorburg offers further amenities within easy reach.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Brix Makelaars - Voorburg and appears on several channels. The energy label is E, so heating costs will be something to factor in.

It 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.
