Poelgeest is a quiet neighbourhood, it has a hair salon, gym, primary school... It's also next to a polder with rich nature and birds, though they do poop a lot over you.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe location of Poelgeest is favourable for the worker, but also for the student. Leiden is nearby and otherwise you can get on the motorway to go further away. However, you do have to leave Poelgeest to do groceries or something like that. There is also only one small school. You don't have to worry about unsafety or cleanliness. People know each other and arguments don't arise. Houses are beautiful. The many speed bumps are rather unnecessary. Unfortunately, there is only one road for cars to leave Poelgeest, which is not good if you want to go the other way. A new road is being built that leads to it, but that will take another year and that road is also not optimal. All in all, the neighbourhood is fine.

About Jac. P. Thijsselaan 48, Oegstgeest
The price is on the high side compared to other two-under-one-roof homes in Oegstgeest, but the 209 m² floor area, 309 m² plot and energy label A are strong points. Without comparable sales data for the neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly how it stacks up, but the size and efficiency suggest the premium is not unreasonable.
Poelgeest is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a village feel. Residents appreciate the peace, the nearby polder nature, and the easy access to Leiden and the motorway. One resident says it is 'clean and easy', though they note that you have to leave the neighbourhood for groceries and that there is only one road out, a new road is being built to improve that.
The nearest train station is 4.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute drive or a 20-minute cycle. That makes it manageable for commuting, but not within walking distance.
Openbare Basisschool De Vogels is just 113 m away, on your doorstep. Yuverta vmbo Oegstgeest is 591 m away, a five-minute walk. Several other primary and secondary schools are within a kilometre, so school runs are short.
The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. That means low heating costs and a good level of insulation. You won't have to worry about high energy bills or draughty rooms.
The plot is 309 m², but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
