A compact studio on van Halewijnplein
This studio on van Halewijnplein 2A in Voorburg is a compact, efficient home with an A+ energy label, which means very low energy costs. At 29 m², it is a small footprint, and the rent of €858 is 62% below the neighbourhood average of €2,254, so it is keenly priced for the area. For context, the average rental in the neighbourhood is for homes around 100 m², so this studio is a different proposition entirely. If you are looking for a small, affordable base, this is worth a close look. The price sits well below the going rate for rentals in studios in Leidschendam-Voorburg.
The Voorburg Noord zuid neighbourhood
Voorburg Noord zuid is a mixed neighbourhood, and the two reviews on reflect that. One resident says: "could use some maintenance", mentioning one-sided, poorly maintained housing, litter on the streets, parking nuisance from commercial vans, and noise from the Utrechtsebaan (A12). Another resident says: "It's a cosy neighbourhood with a nice park with a playground and also for dog owners", adding that it is a social place where neighbours look out for each other. So you get a realistic picture: some drawbacks, but also a genuine community feel. The neighbourhood has a mix of households, with a large share of single-person homes and a good number of families. The Voorburg Noord zuid neighbourhood is one of the older parts of Voorburg, with a housing stock that varies in condition.

Frequently asked questions
About van Halewijnplein 2A, Voorburg
Is €858 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent of €858 is 62% below the neighbourhood average of €2,254, but that average is based on much larger homes, around 100 m². This studio is 29 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than the neighbourhood average of €24.98 per m². Given the compact size, the rent is in line with what you would expect for a small studio in this area.
What does the A+ energy label mean for my energy bills?
An A+ label is the most efficient category, so you can expect very low energy costs. This is a significant advantage, especially compared to older homes in the neighbourhood that may have lower labels. The label is an official registration, and it indicates that the home meets high energy standards, which should keep your monthly outgoings on heating and electricity down.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
The neighbourhood has a Jumbo supermarket about 638 metres away and an Albert Heijn at 683 metres, so daily shopping is convenient. There are also several schools within walking distance, including primary schools like Basisschool De Lusthof and De Parachute, and secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum. The train station is 1.1 km away, making commuting feasible.
What do residents say about living here?
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions maintenance issues, litter, parking problems with commercial vans, and noise from the A12. Another review praises the neighbourhood as cosy, with a nice park, a playground, and a social community where neighbours help each other. The average score is 7.19 out of 10, based on two reviews, so it is a neighbourhood with both strengths and challenges.
Is this studio suitable for a couple?
At 29 m², this is a compact studio, so it is best suited for a single person or a couple who are comfortable with a small living space. The layout is not described in the listing, so you would need to see it to judge whether it works for two people. The efficient energy label is a plus, but the size is the main consideration.
How does the rent compare to other rentals in the area?
The neighbourhood has 6 rentals available, with an average price of €2,254 and a median of €2,275. The cheapest is €1,375, and the most expensive is €2,950.
