Living in Voorburg Oud noord, Leidschendam-Voorburg
Voorburg Oud noord is a neighbourhood with character and a recognisable identity of its own. The northern part of old Voorburg borders the Vliet and features a mix of wide, leafy streets with pre-war townhouses and terraced houses from the 1950s and 1960s. The buildings are varied but generally have a solid, sturdy appearance. This is not a new-build area, and you notice it: homes have history, gardens are mature, and the streets have a certain tranquillity that is less common in newer neighbourhoods.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is reasonably well-equipped. The Herenstraat, the historic shopping heart of Voorburg, is within walking distance and offers a mix of specialist shops, eateries and daily groceries. For larger supermarkets, you can go to the Albert Heijn on Koningin Julianabaan or in the nearby centre. Children can attend several primary schools in the area. Green spaces are present: the Sion-terrein and the parks along the Vliet provide room for a walk or an afternoon outdoors. Residents therefore give green spaces a score of 8.0, the highest sub-score in the neighbourhood.
Accessibility is a strong point. Station Voorburg is within cycling distance and offers a direct connection to Den Haag Centraal in about seven minutes. Via the A4 and A12 you are quickly on the motorway. The RandstadRail and various bus routes complete the public transport offering. Accessibility scores a 7.3 in resident reviews, which matches this picture.
Yet not everything is rosy. The neighbourhood receives an average resident score of 6.4 out of 10, and the sub-score for sense of community is notably low at 3.0. A long-term resident describes it as follows: "I was born here, the neighbourhood has changed a lot over the past 34 years. People used to help each other, now many are divorced. Greetings are no longer exchanged, and the biggest problem is parking issues." Nuisance from the school, renovations and dogs is also mentioned. Other residents characterise it as a real working-class neighbourhood with straightforward people, but also with the associated social dynamics that do not work for everyone. Safety and cleanliness both score 5.7, indicating room for improvement at street level. Read all reviews and neighbourhood data on the page for Voorburg Oud noord.
