It is a nice neighbourhood. The people are real working-class folk. They gossip and love sensation.
Auto-translated to English by AII was born here, the neighbourhood has changed a lot in the past 34 years. In the past, people helped each other, now many divorced people. Greetings are no longer possible, and the biggest problem is the parking issues! And always noise from school, renovations, barking dogs, crying children.

About Emmastraat 6, Voorburg
The asking price of €370,000 is 63% below the neighbourhood average of €995,071, but the house is also 44% smaller than the average home in the area (89 m² vs 158 m²). Given the compact size and the fact that most homes in Voorburg Oud noord are much larger and more expensive, the price is keen for a starter home or someone looking for a smaller property in a central location.
Voorburg Oud noord is a dense, urban area with a strong working-class identity. Residents describe it as a place where people are direct and gossip is common.
