Living in Voorhout buitengebied, Teylingen

Voorhout buitengebied is not an ordinary residential neighbourhood. Anyone looking for a rental home here is consciously seeking something different from a terraced house in a new-build estate: space, peace and greenery. The neighbourhood consists of the open polder landscape and the ribbons and farmsteads around the core of Voorhout, in the municipality of Teylingen. Think detached homes, former farmhouses and rural homesteads along roads such as Herenweg and Elsgeesterweg, surrounded by bulb fields and meadows. The buildings are scattered and sometimes centuries old, although more modern detached homes have also been built in between. It is a neighbourhood with character, but certainly not a neighbourhood for those dependent on amenities around the corner.

Amenities in and around Voorhout buitengebied

Supermarkets, schools and shops are not found in the rural area itself, but within a short cycling distance in the core of Voorhout.

Sports clubs such as football club SV Voorhout and tennis club TV Voorhout are accessible from the rural area. Recreationally, the neighbourhood is strong: walking and cycling through the bulb fields and along the Kagerplassen lakes is literally on your doorstep. For more extensive hospitality and urban amenities, Leiden is about a 15-minute drive away.
