The average WOZ value is €451,000, slightly higher than the district average of Voorhout Buiten (€442,000) and just below the municipal average of Teylingen (€458,000).

Living in Voorhout buitengebied, Teylingen
Voorhout buitengebied is not a neighbourhood in the traditional sense. It is the open, agricultural landscape around the core of Voorhout: polder strips, bulb fields, wide ditches, and occasionally a farmhouse or detached villa on an unpaved driveway. Those who live here consciously choose space and tranquillity over urban proximity. The buildings are scattered, the plots are large, and the neighbours are literally far away.
The homes date from various periods. You will find historic farmhouses converted into homes, but also 1980s and 1990s detached houses on spacious plots, and occasionally newer country houses. What they have in common: plenty of land, plenty of privacy, and a character you won't find in any new-build estate. Buying an apartment in Voorhout buitengebied is not an option; this is exclusively territory for those seeking a detached home with a garden, shed or outbuilding.
There are no amenities in the immediate vicinity, and that is precisely the charm for most residents. The supermarket, primary schools and village centre of Voorhout are a few minutes' bike ride away. For more extensive shopping or secondary schools, Sassenheim or Lisse are logical destinations. Sports clubs such as football club SV Voorhout and tennis club TV Voorhout are accessible without a car. The Keukenhof and the bulb fields around the neighbourhood are not just tourist attractions; for residents, they are a daily backdrop.
In terms of accessibility, a car is indispensable. Voorhout station on the Rijnlandroute offers connections to Leiden and The Hague, but from the outlying area you can reach the station by bike in five to ten minutes depending on where you live exactly. The N208 and the connection to the A44 make the region easily accessible by car from the Randstad. Bus connections are available but limited; those dependent on public transport for daily use will find this a drawback.
Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the neighbourhood page of Voorhout buitengebied you can read what people themselves write about life here. One resident describes it as: "You live here as if the world is taking a pause. No street noise, no parking pressure, just space to breathe." Criticism sometimes focuses on the dependence on the car and the limited public transport connections for children and young people.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as Berg en Dal or Buurtschap Teijlingen, which also have a rural character but are more compact, Voorhout buitengebied is the most extensive and least built-up part of the district. The owner-occupied homes in Voorhout Buiten as a whole offer more variety in housing type and price range; the outlying area is the least densely populated and most expensive variant thereof.
Who is a home for sale in Voorhout buitengebied interesting for?
The neighbourhood attracts almost exclusively movers and established families. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (310 of the 930 residents), which fits people who have already built up assets and consciously choose more space and less hustle and bustle. First-time buyers and young dual-income couples can hardly get a look in here: with an average purchase price of €798,000 and a lower limit of €450,000, buying a house in Voorhout buitengebied is virtually impossible without substantial equity or a high mortgage. Also be realistic about the supply: on average only 8 homes are sold per year, so you need patience and the ability to act quickly when something becomes available. Those who want to be more flexible can also look at Voorhout Oude Dorp or Voorhout Hooghkamer for a different type of housing supply in the same municipality.
