Living in Leidschendam - Zuid De Tol / 't Hert, Leidschendam-Voorburg
De Tol and 't Hert together form a quiet, somewhat self-contained neighbourhood on the southern side of Leidschendam. Those who live here choose a living environment that clearly differs from the busier shopping areas elsewhere in the municipality. The buildings consist mainly of terraced houses and porch flats from the 1960s and 1970s, compact homes that have been renovated to varying degrees over the years. The neighbourhood does not have a pronounced urban or village character; it is more of a functional residential area with a quiet, subdued atmosphere.
Green space scores remarkably high in resident reviews, and rightly so. The neighbourhood borders water-rich areas and there are plenty of green strips and playgrounds in the immediate vicinity. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for families with children and for people seeking peace and quiet. In terms of education, the neighbourhood also scores an 8, indicating sufficient primary school capacity in the area.
The picture is less rosy when it comes to amenities and accessibility. Resident Herman Hiemstra puts it aptly: "Public transport no longer exists. If you don't have a car, you are dependent on volunteers. Shops within walking distance used to be fine. Nowadays, you have to go elsewhere for the vast majority of your groceries. That's a shame." This is an honest and recognisable signal. The neighbourhood is difficult to live in without a car; for daily groceries you have to go to the Damcentrum or other parts of Leidschendam. The nearest NS stations are Leidschendam-Voorburg and Voorburg, both a bike ride away. Via the N14 and the nearby connection to the A4 and A12, the neighbourhood is relatively well connected by car to The Hague, Leiden and the Randstad.
Compared to neighbouring areas such as Damcentrum, which offers more amenities and liveliness, or Leidschendam - Zuid De Oude Bleijck, De Tol / 't Hert is much quieter and less centrally located. The Zeeheldenwijk also has a different profile, with a higher WOZ value and more owner-occupied homes. For those who value peace and quiet and have a car, this can be an advantage. For those who depend on public transport or want to do their daily shopping on foot, it is a serious point of attention.
