Living in Verzetsheldenwijk, Leidschendam-Voorburg
Verzetsheldenwijk is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the heart of Leidschendam, named after resistance heroes from the Second World War. The street names, such as Hannie Schaftstraat and Piet Kramer-laan, give the neighbourhood a recognisable and historic character. The housing stock mainly consists of post-war single-family homes and terraced houses from the 1950s and 1960s, supplemented by a few detached homes. They are solid, well-maintained houses with gardens, which partly explains why the neighbourhood is so popular with owner-occupiers.
The population composition says a lot about the atmosphere: the largest age group is 65-plus (630 of the 1,990 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. More than half of households are married, and most households are without children. It is an established, stable neighbourhood with little turnover, which also explains why so few rental homes are available in Verzetsheldenwijk.
