Damsigt and surrounding area: established tranquillity on the edge of The Hague

The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (more than 2,085 residents), and the 65-plus group is also substantial with 1,845 residents. You notice this in the streetscape: this is not a neighbourhood where you expect crowds late in the evening. Families with children form the largest household category (1,125 households), but the atmosphere is more that of a mature residential area than a lively family neighbourhood. 44% of residents are married, and the average income of €51,600 is clearly above the municipal average. More than half of the residents are highly educated (53%).
The district consists of several neighbourhoods, each with its own character. In Damsigt itself you will mainly find spacious single-family homes from the 1970s and 1980s. The Verzetsheldenwijk is more compact and slightly more mixed in terms of housing type. The Raadhuiskwartier is close to the old centre of Voorburg and offers the shortest walking distance to shops, restaurants and Voorburg station. Residents mention on the district page of Damsigt and surrounding area mainly the tranquillity and the green environment as plus points: "Nice living, lots of greenery and good accessibility to The Hague" is a frequently heard sentiment. The proximity of Park Vreugd en Rust and the Haagse Bos is regularly mentioned.

The N14 and A12 are quickly accessible for motorists. Daily shopping can be done at the supermarkets in the Raadhuiskwartier or on Koningin Julianalaan. What residents appreciate less is the limited range of shops for non-daily purchases: for clothing or larger purchases you have to go to the centre of The Hague or Leidschendam. Parking can also be a challenge in parts of the district, especially around the Raadhuiskwartier.
