van de Wateringelaan 79
Voorburg Noord noord · 2274 CB Voorburg
A pre-war apartment with character
This 1928 apartment on the Van de Wateringelaan sits in a leafy part of Voorburg, where the streets are lined with mature trees and early 20th-century architecture. At €425,000, the asking price was a touch above the neighbourhood average of €401,583, but that reflected the home's good condition and energy label C. For context, apartments in Leidschendam-Voorburg typically sell for around €5,370 per m², and this one came in at about €5,822 per m², on the high side, but not out of step with the market. This home has not been online since 18 August 2026.
Voorburg Noord noord
The neighbourhood Voorburg Noord noord is a densely populated area with a very strong urban feel (over 4,400 addresses per km²).

The housing stock is almost entirely pre-war (89% built before 1945), and most homes are apartments. There are no resident reviews available for this neighbourhood, so the picture comes from the statistics: a lively, central pocket of Voorburg with plenty going on.
