A classic apartment in the heart of Voorschoten
This apartment on Schoolstraat 109 sits in the lively centre of Voorschoten, where the streets are lined with shops, cafés and the daily bustle of a village high street. Built in 1960, the home offers 88 m² of living space, a comfortable size for a couple or a single person who likes room to spread out. The energy label is C, which is a middle-of-the-road rating, so you can expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs. At €1,900 per month, the rent is on the high side compared with the average of €2,500 for the one other rental currently available in the neighbourhood, but that average is based on a single listing, so it is hard to draw firm conclusions. For a sense of what else is on the market, you can compare with other apartments in Voorschoten.
Life in the Centrum neighbourhood
Centrum is a compact neighbourhood with around 710 residents, and it feels like a true village centre, with most daily needs within walking distance. The population is mixed, with a large share of single-person households (57%) and a notable number of residents aged 65 and over, which gives the streets a calm, settled character. Families with children make up a smaller part of the community, so the vibe is more about convenience and sociability than playgrounds and school runs. One resident describes the area as "a friendly, walkable centre where you bump into neighbours at the bakery." Another notes that "the square gets busy on market day, but it is never overwhelming." Based on these two reviews, the neighbourhood seems to be appreciated for its human scale and practical layout. The mix of ages and household types means you will find both long-term locals and newer arrivals, all sharing the same few streets.

Frequently asked questions
About schoolstraat 109, Voorschoten
Is €1,900 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,900 is on the high side compared with the average of €2,500 for the one other rental currently available in the Centrum neighbourhood, but that average is based on a single listing, so it is not a reliable benchmark. The apartment offers 88 m², which is a good size for a centre location, and the energy label C means moderate energy costs. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value living in the heart of Voorschoten.
What is the energy label and what does it mean for my bills?
The energy label is C, which is a middle-of-the-road rating. It means the home is not the most efficient on the market, so you can expect moderate energy costs, but not the highest bills either. The label is an official registration, and it does not tell you anything about the condition of the building itself. For a more precise idea of monthly costs, you would need to look at the actual usage patterns of the previous tenant.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
Dirk is just around the corner at 134 metres, and Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away at 259 metres, so daily groceries are very convenient. Aldi is 431 metres away and Albert Heijn is 476 metres, both within a five-minute walk. SPAR express is a bit further at 670 metres. With this many options so close, you can easily shop on foot without needing a car.
What schools are near this apartment?
The Gevers Deynootschool is just around the corner at 222 metres, and the Rooms Katholieke Basisschool De Regenboog is 569 metres away, so primary school drop-offs are a short walk. The Rooms Katholieke Basisschool Emmaus is 692 metres away, and the Nutsbasisschool Voorschoten is 726 metres. For secondary education, the nearest school is 2.9 km away, which may require a bike or bus ride.
How far is the train station from this apartment?
The train station is 2 km from the apartment. That is a manageable distance for those who commute by rail, though it is not within walking distance for a quick dash. You would likely cycle or take a short bus ride to the station. The exact travel time depends on your mode of transport, but it is a straightforward trip from the centre of Voorschoten.
