Living in 't Lien / De Rietvink: green past, mixed present
The neighbourhood 't Lien / De Rietvink is located in the west of Leidschendam-Voorburg, between the Veursestraatweg and the built-up area towards Leidschendam. It is a neighbourhood you won't quickly forget once you drive through it: varied buildings, from older detached homes to relatively recent new-build blocks. But that contrast is also exactly what residents cite as a point of friction. On Buurtje.nl, the neighbourhood scores an average of 3.1 out of 10, based on a resident review. User Adhdtje writes that the area has become a "disjointed neighbourhood", where social cohesion has declined after the arrival of new-build homes and people from a nearby psychiatric institution regularly walk around. The loss of green space is also highlighted. The score for beauty is notably higher at 8, but for accessibility (2), amenities (1) and green space (2) the neighbourhood scores poorly. On the neighbourhood page of 't Lien / De Rietvink you can read all resident experiences and see the full neighbourhood data.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is not abundant. A large supermarket or shopping centre nearby is lacking; for daily groceries you rely on the centre of Leidschendam or Voorburg. Children in the neighbourhood attend primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools on the edge of 't Lien Noord and 't Lien Zuid. For sports clubs and green recreation, you are more likely to look to the adjacent rural area towards De Zijde / Duivenvoorde / Park Veursehout, which scores significantly better on green space and tranquillity. Accessibility is a point of attention: the nearest NS station is Leidschendam-Voorburg, a few minutes' drive away. Bus connections exist but are limited. The A4 and A12 are reasonably accessible via the Veursestraatweg, meaning motorists heading towards The Hague or Leiden can get onto the motorway relatively quickly. Those who prefer cycling have a direct connection to the centre of Voorburg.
The neighbourhood consists of three sub-areas, each with its own character: 't Lien Noord, 't Lien Zuid and De Rietvink / Veursestraatweg. De Rietvink is the greenest and most exclusive part, with spacious plots along the Veursestraatweg. 't Lien Noord and Zuid are family neighbourhoods with a more mixed housing supply. The largest age group in the neighbourhood is 65-plus (nearly 1,980 residents), which reinforces the image of a neighbourhood in transition: older residents who have lived there for decades, alongside newcomers in recent apartment complexes.
For whom is buying in 't Lien / De Rietvink realistic?
Given the average sale price of over 852,000 euros, buying a home in 't Lien / De Rietvink is mainly reserved for movers with equity or buyers with a substantial income. First-time buyers will find few affordable entry-level homes here. Be prepared for additional costs: transfer tax (2 percent for non-first-time buyers), notary fees and any structural survey. Supply varies greatly and sales can be quick. Those who want to live in 't Lien / De Rietvink but are not yet ready for an owner-occupied home can also look at rental homes in 't Lien / De Rietvink as an intermediate step. Comparing pays off: also check Prinsenhof or Leidschendam-Zuid en omgeving for possibly wider supply in a similar price range.
