Living in Bovenveen noord, Leidschendam-Voorburg
Bovenveen noord is a down-to-earth, functional neighbourhood on the north side of Leidschendam. If you expect a polished villa district, you will be disappointed, but if you are looking for an affordable entry into a quiet living environment with good connections, you will find what you are looking for here. The neighbourhood consists largely of post-war apartment blocks and porch flats, built in the 1960s and 1970s. The architecture is sober, but the green structure between the blocks is spacious: wide green strips, play areas and parks provide openness in the neighbourhood.
The population composition is varied. With 755 residents in the 25 to 45 age group, this is the largest group, but older people (435 people over 65) are also well represented. Single-person households form the largest household group. This translates into a neighbourhood that does not feel particularly child-rich, but is not anonymous either. People know their neighbours, especially in the smaller porch complexes.
For daily shopping, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood. There are supermarkets and small shops within cycling distance, and the Leidsenhage shopping centre (now Westfield Mall of the Netherlands) is a few minutes' drive away in Leidschendam. For schools, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity; secondary school pupils generally travel to Leidschendam or Voorburg. Sports facilities are available via the nearby sports complexes and the Groene Hart, which starts a short distance away.
Accessibility is one of the strongest points of Bovenveen noord. Bus connections link to Leidschendam-Voorburg station and Voorburg station, from where you can reach Den Haag Centraal in about twenty minutes. By car, the A4 and A12 are quickly accessible, which appeals to commuters to Amsterdam or Rotterdam. Cyclists can reach the centre of Leidschendam in a quarter of an hour.
Residents appreciate the peace and affordability compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods. One resident writes: "It's just quiet living here, no fuss. The neighbourhood is not fancy but it is nice." Less positive are comments about the maintenance of public spaces and parking pressure in the evenings. Read all reviews and neighbourhood scores on the Bovenveen noord neighbourhood page.

Who is a home for sale in Bovenveen noord interesting for?
Bovenveen noord primarily appeals to first-time buyers and singles. The entry price from €259,000 is relatively low for the region, and the average home size of 69 m² suits one- and two-person households.

Keep in mind that supply is limited: with 19 transactions in a year, the market is tight. Acting quickly pays off.
