Living in De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg, Leidschendam-Voorburg
De Rietvink and the Veursestraatweg form a somewhat unusual combination. On the one hand, you have the Veursestraatweg itself, an old ribbon development road towards Voorburg with spacious plots, detached villas and a green profile. On the other hand, the neighbourhood borders De Rietvink, a district that has changed considerably over the years due to new-build developments and the proximity of a psychiatric institution. You notice that contrast as you walk through the neighbourhood: here a quiet lane with large gardens, there a new-build block or an unexpectedly busy corner.
In terms of atmosphere, it is therefore not uniformly quiet or urban. Residents who have lived here for a long time recognise the change. One resident describes it as a "disjointed neighbourhood" that has lost its social cohesion due to all the new-build, also mentioning the presence of people from the psychiatric institution in public spaces. Those honest signals are worth reading on the neighbourhood page of De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg, where you can find all resident experiences and sub-scores.
Practically speaking, the neighbourhood is reasonably self-sufficient for daily shopping. In the area you will find supermarkets and small shopping strips in Leidschendam centre, within cycling distance. For schools, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity of Leidschendam, and secondary schools are accessible in both Leidschendam and Voorburg. The Vlietland recreation area is a short distance away, which makes the neighbourhood attractive for people who enjoy the outdoors, although the green space in the neighbourhood itself has decreased in recent years due to construction.
Accessibility by car is good: the A4 and A12 are quickly reachable via the Veursestraatweg. Public transport is somewhat weaker: the nearest train station is Leidschendam-Voorburg, some distance by bike, and bus connections are available but not frequent. This also explains the low accessibility score of 2.0 in the resident reviews. If you compare this neighbourhood with sister neighbourhood 't Lien noord or 't Lien zuid, then De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg has on average higher house prices but a less uniform living environment. If you want to compare more broadly, you can also look at De Zijde / Duivenvoorde / Park Veursehout, which has a similar green and spacious character but is more consistent in atmosphere.
Does a home for sale in De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg suit you as a buyer?
The neighbourhood mainly attracts buyers who are looking for space and are willing to pay a lot for it. The dominant age group is 65-plus (775 of the 2,530 residents), followed by 45-65-year-olds (700). That says something: this is not a neighbourhood for first-time buyers buying their first apartment in De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg. With an average sale price of over €1.2 million and an entry price of €400,000 at the lower end, the threshold is high. Upsizers and seniors with assets who want to live spaciously and relatively quietly near The Hague and Leiden will find what they are looking for here.
