Renting a home in Voorburg West / Park Leeuwenbergh is therefore clearly reserved for a narrow group of tenants with a solid income.

This is evident from the resident reviews on the neighbourhood page of Voorburg West / Park Leeuwenbergh, where the neighbourhood scores an impressive 8.7 out of 10. Safety even scores a perfect 10, and community spirit (9.0) and housing (9.5) also stand out. Resident vd Linden describes the neighbourhood as a "green and safe" place where activities are regularly organised, such as a Christmas drinks, neighbourhood BBQ and a running dinner. That is no coincidence: the neighbourhood has an active core of residents who consciously maintain social cohesion.

Yet not everything is rosy. Resident Megteld Damming indicates that the neighbourhood is quiet and liveable, but is concerned about plans from The Hague that could change that.

The score for amenities (7.0) is the lowest of all categories, which fits the picture of a quiet residential area without busy shopping streets.
