Details of this home
Insure your home and belongingsGet insuredAbout Prins Hendrikstraat 12, Voorburg
The asking price of €425,000 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €995,071, but the home is also smaller than average (81 m² vs 158 m²). The large plot of 2730 m² is unusual for a terraced house. Given the price per m² (€5,247) is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €5,771, the price seems keen, especially considering the plot size.
Energy label E is the second-lowest label on the scale. It means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and does not necessarily indicate the condition of the insulation or installations.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households: about 770 households with children and 505 without. The average household size is 2.5, and 83% of homes are single-family houses. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Professor Casimirschool and Basisschool St Maartens. However, some residents mention noise and parking issues.
Parking is noted as a problem by residents. The listing does not mention a private parking spot or garage, so you would likely rely on street parking. Given the urban density (2292 addresses per km²), finding a space may be challenging at times.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting to The Hague or other cities feasible without a car.
The plot is exceptionally large for a terraced house. The listing does not specify how it is used, but it could include a garden, driveway, or other outdoor space. You would need to view the property to see the layout and condition of the plot.

Greetings are no longer possible, and the biggest problem is the parking issues! And always noise from school, renovations, barking dogs, crying children.

How residents experience their municipality
You can never walk through the park normally without being spoken to or almost being hit by a fatbike on the pavement. A group is taking over the park and apparently no one can do anything about it. Not a safe neighbourhood for my children
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a very soothing neighbourhood with friendly people. It's certainly not easy to reach and many people don't know it, but it's a cosy neighbourhood. The view is beautiful, almost nothing ever happens here, it's close to the countryside and you have many farmers (so always nice fresh products) all in all it's a cosy top neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AIOften loitering figures from the psychiatric institution. No more social control after all the new construction. A lot of greenery removed. Neighbourhood has become an incoherent whole.
Auto-translated to English by AI- one-sided, poorly maintained housing with a low energy label for a large part of the street - a lot of litter on the street and in front gardens/planters - parking nuisance due to inadequate enforcement, especially commercial vans of people who largely do not live on this street / parking on corners and pavements (also trucks) and in the green zone because the vans are too long for a regular spot / broken kerbstones - public transport at least a fifteen-minute walk away - noise pollution from the Utrechtsebaan (A12) / all apartments on the top floor exceed the noise standard
