Renting a Home in Voorburg-West, Voorburg

Voorburg-West is the most peaceful and green residential area of Voorburg. The district is located on the west side of the city, bordering The Hague and Rijswijk, on the dune ridge where Forum Hadriani once stood and where Constantijn Huygens built his country estate in the seventeenth century. The buildings mainly date from the period 1920-1950: villas, semi-detached houses, and detached houses with large gardens. Renting a home in Voorburg-West means searching in a market where 80% is owner-occupied and 20% is available for rent. That share is small but not zero.

Villa Character

Voorburg-West grew as a villa neighborhood for The Hague's upper middle class, who in the late nineteenth, early twentieth century were looking for housing outside the city. This origin is visible. The plots are large. The gardens are private and substantial. The architectural style varies per block: Amsterdam School influences alongside classic villas alongside richer 1930s architecture. The streets are wide and tree-lined.

This quality is not cheap in the purchase market, nor in the rental market. Those looking for a detached villa or a large semi-detached house on a spacious plot in a quiet neighborhood five kilometers from The Hague Central will pay a higher rent level than in other Voorburg districts.

Hofwijck and the Estate Zone

On the outskirts of Voorburg-West are some of the region's best-preserved country estates. Hofwijck, the seventeenth-century country house of Constantijn Huygens, is a national monument and museum. Huygens built the house in 1641 as a summer residence away from the hustle and bustle of The Hague. The house is located on the Vliet and is now open to visitors.

The estate zone around Hofwijck also includes Arentsburg, Hoekenburg, Middenburg, and Sonnenburgh. These estates are not public parks but provide Voorburg-West with a green environment that is palpable in the western part of the district. Those who live near this zone have greenery that is not maintained by the municipality but does define the surroundings.

Housing Supply

The rental market share in Voorburg-West is approximately 20%. In absolute numbers, it is a limited but present segment. Detached and semi-detached villas are sometimes available for rent from departing owners or as part of investment portfolios. Apartments are also available, often in renovated villas that have been converted into multiple residential units.

For those looking to rent in Voorburg-West: the supply is not always visible via large platforms. Some of the rented villas are arranged through private contact or smaller real estate agents. Set up an alert to be directly notified when something new becomes available.
