Living in Leidsenhage, Leidschendam-Voorburg

Leidsenhage is a quiet, green neighbourhood in the south of Leidschendam-Voorburg, located in the area of the former Leidsenhage shopping centre, which was transformed into the new Mall of the Netherlands in 2016. That transformation has given the neighbourhood a different dynamic: where there used to be an enclosed shopping area, a regional attraction has now emerged that also influences the immediate surroundings. The neighbourhood itself has a predominantly suburban character, with spacious plots, plenty of greenery and a mix of detached and semi-detached houses. The housing stock largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s, but has been renovated or expanded in several places.

For schools, primary schools are accessible in the immediate vicinity; for secondary education, you go to Leidschendam or Voorburg.
