Rental homes in De Zijde / Duivenvoorde / Park Veursehout, Leidschendam-Voorburg

What does a rental property cost in De Zijde, Duivenvoorde and Park Veursehout?

The rental market in this neighbourhood is firmly priced. In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €2,155 per month, with a range of €1,380 to €5,250. That is considerably higher than in many other parts of Leidschendam-Voorburg, which is linked to the high average WOZ value of €425,000 (the municipal average is €380,000). The average living area of 131 m² partly explains those prices: you get relatively spacious homes here. Note: these are annual averages for the free sector, excluding social housing.

The neighbourhood consists of several sub-areas, each with its own character.
