Kern Stompwijk
Kern Stompwijk feels more like a village than a suburb, and the reviews reflect that. One resident calls it "a very soothing neighbourhood with friendly people," adding that "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)." Another notes it "could use more shops, preferably a late-night shop," while a third points to a lack of affordable homes being built. Based on three reviews, the picture is of a quiet, tight-knit place with limited amenities. The population is mostly families and older residents, with a good share of households with children. The Kern Stompwijk neighbourhood has its own character, distinct from the rest of Leidschendam.
Life on the street
Daily life here revolves around the essentials. Boon's Markt is just around the corner for groceries, while the nearest primary school, Maerten van den Veldeschool, is a five-minute walk away. For a wider choice of supermarkets, Lidl and Albert Heijn are a short drive out, and secondary schools are a bit further afield. The train station is 7.2 km away, so a car or bus is the practical option for commuting. The municipality of Leidschendam-Voorburg covers both the village feel of Stompwijk and the more urban areas closer to The Hague.

About van Santhorststraat 35, Leidschendam
Is €781 per month a fair rent for this home?
The rent of €781 per month is for a terraced house with 95 m² of floor area and a large plot of 1082 m². In the context of social housing in this area, the price is in line with what similar properties go for. The home is listed as social housing, which typically means the rent is capped and the allocation process runs through the regional platform.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label register. Label C is a middle-of-the-road label, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared to the most efficient homes, but the label itself does not tell you anything about the condition of the insulation or the heating system.
How big is the plot and what does it mean for outdoor space?
The plot measures 1082 m², which is unusually large for a terraced house. This gives you a substantial amount of outdoor space around the home, whether for a garden, play area or simply room to breathe. The floor area of the home itself is 95 m², so the outdoor space is considerably larger than the footprint of the house.
What is the neighbourhood like to live in?
Residents describe Kern Stompwijk as soothing and friendly, with beautiful views and close to the countryside. One review mentions the many farmers in the area, which means fresh local produce.

Boon's Markt is just 159 metres away, so it is on your doorstep for daily groceries. The nearest primary school, Maerten van den Veldeschool, is 499 metres away, about a five-minute walk. For a larger supermarket, Lidl is around 3 km away, and secondary schools are roughly 5 km from the home.
Is this home suitable for a family?
With 95 m² of floor area and a plot of 1082 m², there is plenty of room for a family. The neighbourhood has a high share of households with children, and the nearest primary school is within walking distance. The village-like setting with countryside nearby is a draw for families looking for space and quiet.
How does the rent compare to other rentals in the area?
