Voorburg Midden: village feel a stone's throw from The Hague
On the neighbourhood page of Voorburg Midden, residents give the neighbourhood a 7.8 out of 10. That score is no coincidence. What stands out in the reviews is that people don't just live here; they never want to leave. Resident Senna writes: "I've lived in Voorburg my whole life, it's lovely here, not too busy and everything is close by. In the evenings, it's nice to walk to the Herenstraat." The Herenstraat is indeed the beating heart of Voorburg: a cosy shopping street with small speciality shops, restaurants and cafés. Not a large shopping centre, but just enough for daily errands and the occasional terrace visit.
Accessibility scores highly with residents (8.3 out of 10), and rightly so. Tram stop Voorburg 't Loo and Voorburg station take you to the centre of The Hague within ten minutes. The A12 motorway is a few minutes' drive away, and the Mall of the Netherlands in Leidschendam is nearby. A resident living above Koningin Julianaplein sums it up: "You have all amenities. You can easily get to The Hague, the Mall of the Netherlands, the motorway. Everything nearby to get away." At the same time, the neighbourhood is green enough (score 8.1) for a quiet evening stroll along the Vliet or through Huygenspark.
The neighbourhood consists of three sub-areas, each with its own character. In the northern part, you'll find more older porch flats and a mix of social housing and free sector. The central area around the Herenstraat is the liveliest, with shops and hospitality. Voorburg Midden south is slightly quieter and greener. The community score (7.6) shows that the social fabric is strong without being intrusive. Resident D.w. Ardon describes how she eats twice a week at the care home on her street, together with neighbours: "That's how you get to know other people." These kinds of small-scale connections typify Voorburg Midden. It's not a bustling city neighbourhood, but a place where you greet your neighbours and that is expected.
Renting in Voorburg Midden: for whom, and for whom not?
The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (2,290 residents), but with 2,110 over-65s, the ageing population is also visible.

I enjoy living here, people are very friendly. The hairdresser is in the care home on the street, so that's very convenient. I also go to eat at the care home twice a week with some other people from the flat and the area; this is cosy and very nice to do, and it's also a way to meet other people. I hope this is enough to let you know what my experience with the neighbourhood is. With kind regards, Mrs Ardon
