Terraced houses in Leidschendam-Voorburg: what you can expect here
Leidschendam-Voorburg is not a municipality you end up in by accident. People choose it deliberately: the location between The Hague and the Vliet, the green neighbourhoods, the schools. This makes the supply of terraced houses scarce and the market competitive. Anyone looking to buy a terraced house here faces a higher price bracket than in many surrounding municipalities. That is no surprise, but it does require a sharp strategy.
Terraced houses are the most common type of owner-occupied home in the post-war neighbourhoods here. They range from compact 1950s houses to more spacious 1980s and 1990s builds. Supply is limited and turnaround times are short. Current numbers and price trends can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

What you need to know before making an offer
Buying a terraced house in Leidschendam-Voorburg requires preparation. These are the most relevant points to consider for this type of home in this market:
- A structural survey is not a luxury. Many terraced houses from the 1950s and 1960s have outdated electrics, asbestos-containing materials, or a foundation that needs attention. Always have a survey carried out, even on homes that look well-maintained.
- Watch out for easements. Terraced houses adjoin two neighbours. Check the deed for easements, such as rights of way or shared sheds. This is in the notarial deed of transfer, not in the sales brochure.
- HOA costs for split properties. Some terraced houses in older blocks are split and have a Homeowners' Association (HOA). Check whether there is an active reserve fund and whether the HOA meets. A dormant HOA is a risk when there is deferred maintenance.
- Financing for small floor areas. Banks are strict with homes under 40 m². Terraced houses in Leidschendam-Voorburg rarely fall below that, but check the floor area in the valuation report, not just the advertisement.
- Act quickly. In this segment, homes sometimes go off the market within a few days. Make sure your financing is in order and that you have engaged a buying agent who can move fast.
- Use the Buurtje.nl app for push notifications. As soon as a new terraced house in Leidschendam-Voorburg comes on the market, you will receive an immediate notification. The app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play.
- Take into account parking policies per neighbourhood. In Voorburg Midden and parts of Leidschendam-Zuid, paid parking or permit zones apply. Check this before you buy, especially if you have two cars.
What determines the price of a terraced house here?
Terraced houses in Leidschendam-Voorburg fall into the higher segment of the regional owner-occupied market. This has several causes. The municipality has an attractive location for commuters heading to The Hague, Delft and the Randstad. The neighbourhoods are green and relatively quiet. And supply is limited, meaning demand is structurally higher than supply.
Factors influencing the price of a specific terraced house:
- Year built and state of maintenance (renovated or original)
- Presence of an extension, dormer window or conservatory
- Garden orientation (sun, privacy, size)
- Parking options on private land
- Proximity to schools, train station or main roads
- Energy label (homes with label A or B are popular)

No match in Leidschendam-Voorburg? Also look at Rotterdam
If the supply in Leidschendam-Voorburg disappoints or prices are out of reach, it is wise to search more broadly. For those flexible on location, terraced houses in Rotterdam offer an alternative with generally a larger supply. Rotterdam has a different market dynamic and can offer a more realistic entry point for some buyers. Keep in mind that travel times to The Hague from Rotterdam are longer than from Leidschendam-Voorburg itself.
If you still want to stay in the municipality but are flexible on housing type, it is also worth looking at renting terraced houses in Leidschendam-Voorburg as a temporary solution while you search for a home to buy.
Frequently asked questions
What does a terraced house cost in Leidschendam-Voorburg?
Terraced houses in Leidschendam-Voorburg fall into the higher segment of the regional market. The price depends on the neighbourhood, year of construction, state of maintenance, garden orientation and energy label. Current prices can be found in the overview at the top of this page.

Download the free Buurtje.nl app from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). You will receive an instant push notification as soon as a new terraced house comes on the market in Leidschendam-Voorburg. This way you are there sooner than if you search manually.
What legal aspects should I consider with a terraced house?

You can never walk through the park normally without being spoken to or almost being hit by a fatbike on the pavement. A group is taking over the park and apparently no one can do anything about it. Not a safe neighbourhood for my children
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a very soothing neighbourhood with friendly people. It's certainly not easy to reach and many people don't know it, but it's a cosy neighbourhood. The view is beautiful, almost nothing ever happens here, it's close to the countryside and you have many farmers (so always nice fresh products) all in all it's a cosy top neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII was born here, the neighbourhood has changed a lot in the past 34 years. In the past, people helped each other, now many divorced people. Greetings are no longer possible, and the biggest problem is the parking issues! And always noise from school, renovations, barking dogs, crying children.
