Living in Prinsenhof laag, Leidschendam-Voorburg

Prinsenhof laag is a quiet, largely post-war residential neighbourhood with a distinct character of its own. The buildings mainly consist of terraced houses and semi-detached houses from the 1960s and 1970s, with the occasional porch apartment block. The streets are laid out wide, there is relatively much greenery between the houses, and the streetscape is well-maintained without looking too neat or new-build.

The neighbourhood borders the higher part of Prinsenhof, Prinsenhof hoog, which has a more spacious and expensive appearance. Those who compare both neighbourhoods will notice that Prinsenhof laag is more compact and has a slightly more average residential area feel, but is therefore also more affordable. The broader Prinsenhof district has a more mixed profile; the lower part has proportionally more owner-occupiers and a somewhat higher WOZ value than the district average suggests.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well-equipped for daily needs. Julianabaan shopping centre is within cycling distance and offers a supermarket, bakery and various service providers. For a larger range, the centre of Leidschendam is quickly accessible. Primary schools are located in the immediate vicinity, as are several playgroups. The Vlietland area, with water, nature and recreational opportunities, is easily accessible by bike and is regularly mentioned by residents as one of the assets of living in this corner of the municipality.

Accessibility by car is good: the A4 and A12 are quickly reachable via the N14, which appeals to commuters to The Hague, Leiden or Amsterdam. By public transport, bus lines run towards Leidschendam centre and Leidschendam-Voorburg station, from where you can be at The Hague Central Station by train in about ten minutes. The cycle routes to the centre of Leidschendam are comfortable and take at most a quarter of an hour.

Who is a home in Prinsenhof laag interesting for?

Based on the population composition, this is a neighbourhood that strongly appeals to movers and seniors.
