Renting in Voorburg Oud: a tight private sector with steep prices
Voorburg Oud is primarily an owner-occupied neighbourhood. Of the more than 3,200 homes, only 28% are rental properties, the majority of which are owned by housing associations (16%).

The range runs from €972 to €3,650 per month. By comparison, the average WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €539,000, well above the municipal average of €380,000 for Leidschendam-Voorburg.

Working-class neighbourhood with character: what residents say about Voorburg Oud
Voorburg Oud has something ambiguous about it. It is a neighbourhood with history, with streets full of older terraced houses and a recognisable neighbourhood feel, but that neighbourhood feel is experienced very differently by residents themselves. On the Voorburg Oud neighbourhood page, residents give the neighbourhood an average of 6.4 based on three reviews. That is not a bad score, but neither is it an enthusiastic verdict.
Two reviewers describe the neighbourhood as a true working-class area. Tanja writes: "It is a nice neighbourhood. The people are real working-class people. They gossip and love sensation." That says something about the social dynamics: involved, but in a way that doesn't appeal to everyone. Mrs Van Kasteren, who has lived there for 34 years, sees the neighbourhood changing: in the past people helped each other, now there are more single-person households and people barely greet each other anymore. Her biggest annoyances are parking pressure and the daily noise from schools, renovations and dogs. These are not minor details; they are the daily reality of renting in a densely built, mixed neighbourhood.
The sub-scores show a nuanced picture. Green scores highest with an 8.0, which matches the proximity of parks and the green character of parts of the neighbourhood. Accessibility (7.3) and education (7.3) are also rated well. Safety (5.7) and sense of community (3.0) are the weak points. Voorburg Oud consists of two sub-areas: also check the listings in Voorburg Oud Noord and Voorburg Oud Zuid, as the atmosphere and supply can differ per sub-neighbourhood.
Renting in Voorburg Oud: who is this suitable for and who is it not?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts families and older households. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (over 2,100 residents), 42% are married and most households have children. You notice that in the neighbourhood. Those looking for a rental home with space, a quiet street and good school options nearby can find something here, provided the budget allows. With an average private sector rent of €1,853 per month, renting in Voorburg Oud is not cheap. Those with a lower budget or who prefer to buy might be better off looking at the supply of homes for sale in Voorburg Oud or consider searching in another neighbourhood. For those seeking flexibility and a lively social life, the low community score is a point of attention.

Auto-translated to English by AII was born here, the neighbourhood has changed a lot in the past 34 years. In the past, people helped each other, now many divorced people. Greetings are no longer possible, and the biggest problem is the parking issues! And always noise from school, renovations, barking dogs, crying children.
