Voorburg Noord through the eyes of residents: green, but with rough edges
On Buurtje.nl, residents rate Voorburg Noord a 7.2 out of 10. That sounds reasonable, but behind that figure lies a nuanced picture. The highest scores go to green spaces (8.5) and education (8.5): the neighbourhood has many parks and playgrounds, and there are good primary schools nearby. Safety also scores above average with an 8.0. Those who walk the streets here in the evening generally feel at ease.
Yet there are clear pain points. Resident Jodocus gives the neighbourhood a 4.4 and writes about "monotonous, poorly maintained housing with largely low energy labels." He also mentions "a lot of litter on the streets and in front gardens" and parking nuisance from company vans of people who don't even live on the street. Enforcement falls short, according to this resident. That criticism is reflected in the lower sub-scores for housing (6.0) and cleanliness (6.0). Accessibility also scores a 6.0: the neighbourhood has bus connections, but lacks its own train station. Voorburg Station is within cycling distance, and by car you are quickly on the A12 towards The Hague or Utrecht. More experiences and detailed neighbourhood scores can be found on the neighbourhood page of Voorburg Noord.
The atmosphere varies by part of the neighbourhood. In the southern part you'll find more post-war porch flats and gallery apartments, where maintenance is variable. The northern part has more single-family homes and feels slightly more spacious. The community score of 7.5 suggests that neighbours know and greet each other, although it is not a close-knit village community. Amenities (7.0) are sufficient: there are supermarkets and small shops within walking distance, but for extensive shopping you go to the centre of Voorburg or Leidschendam. The municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg is investing in the sustainability of older housing, but residents notice little of this in practice.
Renting in Voorburg Noord: for whom and for whom not?
