Living in De Knip, Teylingen
De Knip is a quiet residential neighbourhood in the heart of Voorhout, one of the three cores of the municipality of Teylingen. The neighbourhood has a typical post-war character with terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, supplemented by some newer infill development. The streets are green, the gardens are generally well-maintained and the pace is much slower than in an urban neighbourhood. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out or demands attention, but that is precisely what gives it its character: simply good living without frills.
Voorhout has a reasonably complete level of amenities for a village of this size. In or directly around De Knip you will find a supermarket, a GP practice and primary schools within cycling distance. The village centre of Voorhout, with small shops and a terrace, can be reached in a few minutes. For a larger range of shops, you can quickly drive to Sassenheim or Lisse. Sports enthusiasts are well catered for: football club VV Voorhout and various other sports clubs are active in the core.
Accessibility is a strong point of the neighbourhood. Voorhout station is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Leiden (approximately 10 minutes) and Haarlem. For motorists, the N208 is quickly accessible, with flow towards the A44 and A4. This makes De Knip attractive for commuters who work in the Randstad but prefer to live outside the city. The neighbourhood is also good for cycling: Leiden, Lisse and the bulb region can be reached by bike via quiet polder paths.
Residents appreciate De Knip for its peace, social cohesion and central location in the region. On the neighbourhood main page of De Knip you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores per category. One resident writes: "It is quiet and clear here, the neighbours know each other and you notice that even when you have just moved in." Recurring criticisms are the limited range of shops directly in the neighbourhood and parking in the older streets, where the narrow carriageways with parked cars sometimes cause frustration.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as De Rodes and Over de Brug, De Knip has a slightly more compact layout. Everlasting is newer and has a different housing type profile.

For whom is a home in De Knip a good choice?
The neighbourhood attracts a mix of young families, movers and older residents who have lived in Voorhout for years. The relatively lower WOZ value compared to the municipality makes buying in De Knip more attractive for starters who want to live just outside the big city. However, supply is limited: only a handful of homes are sold per year, so quick action is necessary. Overbidding is common in this region. Those who need more time or seek flexibility can also look at the rental homes in De Knip as an interim solution. For seniors who want to downsize, supply is more limited; a look at Sassenheim Midden or other districts in the municipality may then offer a solution.
