Living in Nassauwijk, Voorschoten
Nassauwijk is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the west side of Voorschoten, with a predominantly post-war character. Most homes date from the 1950s to the 1970s: solid terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses on relatively spacious plots. The streets are wide, there is plenty of greenery in the form of trees along the roads and small parks, and car traffic is limited. This makes it a neighbourhood where children can still play outside relatively safely.
The largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, and that is noticeable in the neighbourhood. It is not a neighbourhood with much activity or street-level hospitality. However, there are families with children (390 households), meaning that schools and outdoor play are a natural part of daily life. For primary education, several schools are accessible in and around Nassauwijk, including schools on the edge of the Voorschoten town centre. For daily groceries, you hardly need to leave the neighbourhood: the centre of Voorschoten with a Jumbo and smaller specialist shops is within cycling distance. The Leiden shopping offer is reachable within ten to fifteen minutes by bike.
In terms of accessibility, Nassauwijk is well located. Voorschoten station is a short bike ride away and offers direct connections to Leiden Central and The Hague Central.

Residents particularly appreciate Nassauwijk for its tranquillity and social cohesion. One resident writes: "You really know your neighbours here, it feels like a village within a village.

Is a home in Nassauwijk right for you?
Nassauwijk mainly attracts movers and established families who consciously choose peace, space and a stable living environment. With an average transaction price of almost €863,000, buying in Nassauwijk is virtually unattainable for starters without substantial equity or own capital. However, movers with an already built-up property value find space and quality here that is harder to find in more urban areas. Be honest with yourself: supply is limited, bidding wars are common, and prices quickly rise into the higher segment. Those who want to be more flexible can also look at rental properties in Nassauwijk as a temporary alternative while waiting for the market.
