Living in Raadhuiskwartier, Leidschendam-Voorburg

The buildings are compact, the streets are clear and there are many mature trees that give the district a certain tranquillity.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores well for its size. The shopping centre on Koningin Julianabaan offers daily groceries, including a supermarket within walking distance. For a larger range of shops, the centre of Leidschendam or the Julianabaan itself are easily accessible. There are several primary schools in and directly around the neighbourhood, and for secondary education you can go to Voorburg or The Hague.
