Anyone looking for a rental home in Voorhout Buiten must reckon with limited choice. Supply is scarce and relies almost entirely on the free sector. Social housing is not available here. This makes renting a home in Voorhout Buiten reserved for a specific group, and certainly not affordable for everyone. Comparable rental homes in Teylingen are sometimes more readily available in other parts of the municipality.
Voorhout Buiten from the inside: green, quiet, and clearly for the established order
Voorhout Buiten is not a neighbourhood that stands out for bustling nightlife or a busy shopping centre. It is an outlying area in the literal sense: scattered buildings, agricultural plots, and an atmosphere closer to the Dutch polder landscape than to the urban dynamics of larger towns. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (380 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over. That says something about the character of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, social cohesion is high, and residents have generally been there for a while. Young people and starters are clearly in the minority.
On the neighbourhood page for Voorhout Buiten, residents share their experiences. What comes back in the reviews is the peace and space. Residents appreciate the low building density, the greenery around them, and the sense of privacy. One resident describes it as "finally away from the hustle and bustle, without being far from everything." Criticism focuses mainly on the limited walking distance to amenities: for daily shopping, schools, or the train, you rely on a bike or car. The nearest village centre is Voorhout itself, and the nearby neighbourhood Voorhout Oude Dorp has more daily amenities within reach.
The neighbourhood borders several smaller areas, each with its own character. For example, Boekhorstpolder has a strong agricultural character, while Berg en Dal is slightly more compactly built. For those who want more urban amenities without leaving the neighbourhood, Voorhout Hooghkamer offers an alternative with a slightly different living environment. Accessibility by car is good via the N206 and A44, but public transport is limited. Voorhout station is a bike ride away.
Renting in Voorhout Buiten: who is it for, and who is it not for?
Renting in Voorhout Buiten is mainly interesting for higher-income households who consciously choose space, peace, and a rural living environment, and who want to remain flexible without immediately buying. The average income in the neighbourhood is €47,700, above the municipal average of €42,700. For starters, young people, or those on a limited budget, this is not a realistic starting point: free-sector prices are high and no social housing is available. Those considering staying here can also look at homes for sale in Voorhout Buiten, as the owner-occupied market here is considerably larger than the rental market. Sassenheim Oost can also be an alternative for those wanting more supply.
