Terraced houses for rent in Leidschendam-Voorburg
Terraced houses in Leidschendam-Voorburg are scarce and sought-after. This overview helps you search purposefully in a tight market.
Terraced houses in a municipality with two faces
Leidschendam-Voorburg is not your average commuter town. On one hand, you have the villa neighbourhoods along the Vliet and the greenery of Park Leeuwenbergh, on the other, the compact terraced-house districts of Leidschendam-Zuid and Prinsenhof. Terraced houses fit well into that second part of the municipality: family homes on quiet streets, close to main roads towards The Hague and Zoetermeer. Supply is limited and competition is fierce. Anyone looking to rent a terraced house here would do well to be well prepared.

What you need to know about this segment in Leidschendam-Voorburg
Terraced houses in the rental sector are scarce here. The majority of terraced houses in the municipality are owned by private individuals or are for sale. The rental segment is largely in the higher free-sector bracket. Social rental homes of this type are hardly available for new applicants, unless you have built up years of registration time with a housing association.
This type mainly attracts families and couples who want to live outside The Hague but still keep the city within cycling distance. Expats looking for a full house on a temporary contract are also active in this segment. This makes the market for terraced houses Leidschendam-Voorburg competitive: there are more interested parties than homes.
Practical tips for those who want to respond quickly
- Respond within hours, not days. Free-sector terraced houses in this municipality rarely stay online longer than a week. Set up search alerts so you are notified immediately.
- Use the Buurtje.nl app. The app is free and sends push notifications as soon as new listings appear. Available via the App Store and Google Play.
- Have your documents ready. Landlords typically ask for an employer's statement, recent payslips and a copy of your ID. Make sure you have these digitally at hand.
- Pay attention to the income requirement. For free-sector rentals, landlords usually require a gross monthly income of three to four times the monthly rent. Check this in advance to avoid disappointment.
- Ask about service charges. With terraced houses, there are sometimes extra costs for garden maintenance or a shared boiler. This is not always prominently stated in the advert.
- Check the energy label situation. Older terraced houses in the municipality sometimes have label D or lower. With rising energy prices, this adds to your monthly costs.
- Ask about parking permits. In some neighbourhoods, paid parking or a permit system applies. Always inquire about this if you have a car.
Price level: what determines the rent of a terraced house here
Leidschendam-Voorburg is among the more expensive segments in the Haaglanden region. The proximity to The Hague, the green living environment and the relatively good accessibility via the A4 and A12 drive up prices. Terraced houses are therefore rarely in the mid-range segment. Current price ranges can be found in the overview at the top of this page.
Factors that further influence the price: the presence of a garden (front or back), the condition of the kitchen and bathroom, the presence of a garage or driveway, and the neighbourhood. A terraced house in Voorburg West commands a different price than a similar property in Prinsenhof. Want to know if buying works out cheaper in the long run?

You can never walk through the park normally without being spoken to or almost being hit by a fatbike on the pavement. A group is taking over the park and apparently no one can do anything about it. Not a safe neighbourhood for my children
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a very soothing neighbourhood with friendly people. It's certainly not easy to reach and many people don't know it, but it's a cosy neighbourhood. The view is beautiful, almost nothing ever happens here, it's close to the countryside and you have many farmers (so always nice fresh products) all in all it's a cosy top neighbourhood.

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.

Auto-translated to English by AI- one-sided, poorly maintained housing with a low energy label for a large part of the street - a lot of litter on the street and in front gardens/planters - parking nuisance due to inadequate enforcement, especially commercial vans of people who largely do not live on this street / parking on corners and pavements (also trucks) and in the green zone because the vans are too long for a regular spot / broken kerbstones - public transport at least a fifteen-minute walk away - noise pollution from the Utrechtsebaan (A12) / all apartments on the top floor exceed the noise standard
