Living in Binnenhof, Leiderdorp
Binnenhof is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the north side of Leiderdorp, clearly distinct from the more urban areas closer to the centre. The name does not refer to the political heart of The Hague, but to the characteristic courtyard structure seen in parts of the neighbourhood: residential streets leading to quiet squares or green strips, with plenty of space for cars and pedestrians. The housing largely dates from the 1960s and 1970s, with a mix of semi-detached houses, detached homes and wider terraced houses. New-build is rare; those who buy here purchase a home with character and often a sizeable garden.
The neighbourhood borders the Zijlkwartier and is within cycling distance of Leiderdorp centre. Daily shopping is done at the nearby shopping centre on Engelendaal, which houses an Albert Heijn and various smaller shops. For a larger range of shops, Leiden city centre is about ten minutes away by bike. Children in the area attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools in the adjacent neighbourhoods Kerkwijk and Ouderzorg. Sports clubs, including football and tennis clubs, are a short bike ride away.
In terms of accessibility, Binnenhof benefits from its location near the N11 and A4 motorways, making Leiden, Alphen aan den Rijn and The Hague easily reachable by car. Leiden Central Station is about fifteen minutes away by bike, or via bus line 3 which runs through Leiderdorp. Commuters to Amsterdam or The Hague are not uncommon here.
The neighbourhood has a quiet, mature character. With 425 residents aged 65 and over as the largest age group, this is clearly an area where people stay for a long time. This is also reflected in the condition of the homes: well-maintained, with gardens that have received due attention. Residents appreciate the peace and space. On the Binnenhof neighbourhood homepage you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "It's wonderfully quiet here, you know your neighbours and the streets are safe for children. It's just a shame so little comes up for sale." The latter is a fair point: supply is scarce, and when something becomes available, it goes quickly. Compared to De Vogelwijk or Schansen en Dreven, Binnenhof is slightly quieter and more subdued in character, with on average more expensive homes.
Who is a home for sale in Binnenhof interesting for?
Binnenhof is primarily a neighbourhood for movers-up and seniors who combine space, peace and a good location. The average purchase price of over €732,000 makes this not a starter neighbourhood.
