Living in De Heuvel zuid, Leidschendam-Voorburg
De Heuvel zuid is a quiet, average residential neighbourhood on the south side of Voorburg. No trendy coffee bars or bustling shopping streets, but also no anonymous dormitory suburb. The atmosphere is down-to-earth and resident-oriented: streets with terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, green strips in between, and residents who know each other from school or the supermarket. It is a neighbourhood that does not stand out when you drive through it, but that you appreciate once you live there.
The housing types are typical of this construction period: mid-terrace houses, corner houses and flats with two or three bedrooms. Gardens are generally present, although they are not large. Parking on the street is the norm and can sometimes be a challenge during rush hour, although it is not an acute problem like in the centre of Voorburg.
In terms of amenities, De Heuvel zuid is reasonably self-sufficient.

Primary schools in the immediate vicinity serve the younger families in the neighbourhood.
