Amenities in De Tol and 't Hert
Resident Herman Hiemstra puts it aptly in his review: "Shops within walking distance used to be fine. Nowadays, you have to go elsewhere for the vast majority of your groceries. That's a shame."

The primary school score is good (8.0), indicating that education is satisfactory for families. Sports facilities are available in the wider area of Leidschendam-Zuid, with recreational opportunities along the Vliet and in the nearby green spaces.

Accessibility is a point of concern. Residents give accessibility a 6.0 out of 10, the lowest sub-score. Public transport has virtually disappeared in the neighbourhood itself. As Herman Hiemstra writes: "Public transport no longer exists. If you don't have a car, you're dependent on volunteers." Those without a car find it difficult to get around.

Parking in the neighbourhood is generally possible without a permit. Cyclists can cycle towards the centre via the Vliet bank, although the connections are not always comfortable.
