Living in Leidschenveen: new-build neighbourhood with a family character
Leidschenveen is a relatively young neighbourhood, largely built from the late 1990s onwards. You can tell: the streets are wide, the architecture is uniform, and the infrastructure is well thought out. It is a typical Vinex neighbourhood with plenty of greenery, playgrounds, and separate cycle and car paths. On the Leidschenveen neighbourhood page, residents rate the area 8.1 out of 10. Notably high scores are for beauty (9.0), accessibility (8.5), and education (8.5). One resident sums it up succinctly: "Nice neighbourhood with good arterial roads and public transport, schools within walking distance, swimming pool, petting zoo, cinema, and shopping centre all within walking or cycling distance." At the same time, not everyone is equally enthusiastic. A younger resident calls the neighbourhood "tidy and safe, but very boring and with few dry places outside for young people." That honest picture matches reality: for nightlife or culture, you need to go to the centre of The Hague.
In terms of amenities, Leidschenveen shopping centre is the beating heart, with an Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Kruidvat, and various specialist shops. De Woelige Stal petting zoo and De Blinkerd swimming pool are within cycling distance. There are several primary schools in the neighbourhood, including De Vliegende Hollander and Montessorischool Leidschenveen, and the Aloysius College for secondary education is nearby. Accessibility is a strong point: RandstadRail stop Leidschenveen takes you to The Hague Central Station in a quarter of an hour, and the A4 and A12 motorways are reachable within minutes. This also makes the neighbourhood popular with people who work in Rotterdam or Leiden.
The neighbourhood is divided into recognisable districts, each with its own character. In De Lanen you will find many spacious single-family homes, while De Velden offers more variety in housing types. De Rietbuurt borders the greenery and mainly attracts families seeking peace and quiet. The green character of the neighbourhood scores an 8.2 from residents. More and more international families are settling here, partly due to the proximity of international schools and business parks around Ypenburg and Forepark. As one resident notes, the neighbourhood is "becoming more and more of an expat neighbourhood." That changes the atmosphere but also creates a diverse, international community.
Does Leidschenveen suit you as a buyer?
Leidschenveen is particularly popular with families with children. This is also evident from the figures: the largest group of households are families with children (4,050), and the average age is between 45 and 65. If you want to buy a house here, expect stiff competition and prices well above The Hague average. Overbidding is more the rule than the exception, especially for popular single-family homes. In addition to the purchase price, budget for around 2% transfer tax, notary costs, and possibly valuation costs. For first-time buyers, buying an apartment in Leidschenveen can be a stepping stone, but the lower limit of around €395,000 makes it not a cheap option either. If you are looking for a more affordable alternative, also check out rental properties in Leidschenveen. Seniors looking to downsize will find limited ground-floor options here.
