Living in Voorburg West zuid, Leidschendam-Voorburg

Anyone visiting Voorburg West zuid for the first time immediately notices that this is no ordinary suburban neighbourhood of The Hague. The streets are wide, the gardens large, and greenery is woven everywhere: in the verges, in private gardens, and along the avenues leading towards Vlietland. It is a quiet, mature neighbourhood where the average resident is between 45 and 65 years old and has known what they want for some time. Families with children form the largest household group, and you can tell: there are many bicycles, basketball hoops on driveways, and dogs on leads.

The housing stock largely dates from the 1950s and 1960s, with a mix of semi-detached houses, spacious terraced houses, and detached properties. The homes are generally well-maintained, with many renovated bathrooms and extended kitchens. Notably, 18% of the housing stock is rented, of which only 6% is through housing associations. The rest is with private landlords, meaning that as a buyer you have little competition from social housing blocks.

For daily shopping, you can go to the supermarkets on Herenstraat in the centre of Voorburg, within walking distance for most residents. The Julianabaan shopping centre offers additional options for larger purchases. Children attend schools such as Koningin Julianaschool or other primary schools in the immediate vicinity. For sports, there are opportunities at the tennis clubs and football clubs in the district, and Vlietland is within short reach for cyclists and walkers.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores well. Station Voorburg is within cycling distance and offers direct connections to Den Haag Centraal (about eight minutes) and Leiden. By car, the A4 and A12 are quickly reachable via the Vliet. Bus lines connect the neighbourhood with the centre of The Hague and Leidschendam. Those who want to live without a car can do so reasonably well here, although a bicycle is indispensable.

Residents appreciate the peace, space, and accessibility. On the neighbourhood page of Voorburg West zuid you can read all reviews and scores. One resident writes: "It is green and quiet here, you know your neighbours and yet you are within ten minutes of the centre of The Hague. You don't easily find that combination elsewhere." Criticism sometimes focuses on parking in the narrower side streets and the limited supply of homes available per year.

Compared to neighbouring municipality Voorburg West noord, the south is slightly quieter and greener in character. Park Leeuwenbergh borders the west side and has an even more exclusive character with more detached buildings. For a broader comparison, you can also look at homes for sale in Voorburg West / Park Leeuwenbergh as a whole.

Does a home for sale in Voorburg West zuid suit you as a buyer?

Voorburg West zuid is primarily a neighbourhood for movers and established families with a solid budget. With an average purchase price of over €857,000 and an entry point from €400,000, this is not a starter neighbourhood, although the cheaper apartments are theoretically accessible for buyers with equity and two incomes. Seniors looking to downsize to a ground-floor home or apartment also find options here, albeit limited in supply. Be prepared for competition on popular properties: the number of transactions per year is low (17 in the past twelve months), meaning an attractive property is quickly gone. Overbidding is not unusual in this segment. Those wanting more flexibility or a lower budget can also look at rental homes in Voorburg West zuid as a temporary alternative.
