Living in Prinsenhof hoog, Leidschendam-Voorburg
Prinsenhof hoog is a typical post-war expansion district from the 1970s and 1980s, built during the period when Leidschendam grew significantly towards the south. The streetscape is characterised by three- to four-storey porch flats, interspersed with terraced houses and the occasional block of gallery flats. The architecture is functional, not spectacular, but the neighbourhood compensates with plenty of greenery between the buildings. Wide lawns, playgrounds and mature trees give Prinsenhof hoog a spacious and green character that you wouldn't immediately expect in the The Hague region.
The population is diverse: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years (1,230 residents), but there are also many families with children (885 residents under 15) and a significant group of over-65s (905). Single-person households form the largest group (1,025), and only 29% of residents are married. The average income of €27,200 is below the municipal average of €44,000, which fits the profile of a neighbourhood with a lot of social housing.

Is a rental property in Prinsenhof hoog right for you?

In the free sector, supply is limited: only ten homes were rented out in the past year. If you want to secure a rental home in Prinsenhof hoog, respond quickly and make sure you have your income statement and references ready. For families with a higher budget, renting an apartment in the free sector could be an option, but also consider buying a home in Prinsenhof hoog given the low WOZ values. To be fair: the average income and labour participation (54%) are below the municipal average, and the neighbourhood is not for everyone. But if you want to live affordably in the The Hague region with good facilities around the corner, this is a great place.

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
