Living in De Vissen, The Hague
De Vissen is one of the newer neighbourhoods within Leidschenveen, largely built from the early 2000s onwards. The streetscape is defined by modern terraced houses, semi-detached homes and occasional detached houses, often with their own garden and driveway parking. The architecture is varied but cohesive: many light-coloured facades, large windows and green front gardens. It is not a neighbourhood with historic character, but one that is functionally and comfortably designed for families.
And you notice that. With 1,560 households with children as the largest group and a dominant age category of 45 to 65, De Vissen is a true move-up neighbourhood where people settle for the long term. Resident Laurines sums up the atmosphere aptly: "Nothing wrong with the neighbourhood, very cosy. Nice to always see the children playing outside." That cosiness translates into a remarkably high resident score of 9.5 out of 10, with a perfect 10 for community, green spaces, beauty and education.
In terms of amenities, you are well placed in De Vissen. Leidschenveen shopping centre is within cycling distance and offers an Albert Heijn, Jumbo and various specialist shops. For primary education, there are several schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools in the neighbouring neighbourhoods De Lanen and De Velden. Leidschenveen sports park offers space for football, hockey and tennis. The green spaces score a 10 for a reason: the neighbourhood borders spacious green strips and water features that run through the entire area.
Accessibility is excellent. RandstadRail stop Leidschenveen takes you to The Hague Central in about 20 minutes, and the A4 and A12 motorways are reachable within minutes by car. That also makes De Vissen attractive for commuters heading to Rotterdam, Leiden or Amsterdam. The only caveat: amenities score the lowest of all sub-scores at 8.0.
