Houses for Rent in Leidschendam Voorburg

A house for rent in Leidschendam-Voorburg is usually a large family home. Based on over 600 house listings tracked on RentHunter in Leidschendam-Voorburg since February 2024, the average house measures 154 m² and rents for €3,041 a month, with 80% of listings between €1,850 and €4,000. That is only 3% below the €3,145 average for a house in Den Haag, so the reason to rent a house here is space and a garden more than price.

Leidschendam-Voorburg is the municipality directly east of Den Haag, formed in 2002 from Leidschendam and Voorburg and including the polder village of Stompwijk. The Vliet canal runs through both towns, and Voorburg station is a short Sprinter ride from Den Haag Centraal. Den Haag's ministries, embassies and international organisations are close by, and 19% of house listings target expats.

The stock leans towards big homes: 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom houses make up most listings with a known bedroom count, and 73% of listings mention a garden. Smaller family houses with two or three bedrooms exist, but they are the minority, so a couple looking for a compact rental house will find fewer options than a family of five.

Leidschendam-Voorburg's house rents rise steeply with size: a 2-bedroom house averages €1,804 a month (25 listings), a 3-bedroom €2,189 (122 listings), a 4-bedroom €2,878 (193 listings) and a 5-bedroom €3,646 (236 listings). The step from four to five bedrooms, about €768 a month, is the largest in the range, so decide early whether a fifth bedroom or a home office is a must.

26% of house listings in Leidschendam-Voorburg are furnished, which suits a family on a two or three-year posting in Den Haag that does not want to ship furniture. The other listings are unfurnished: in Dutch terms kaal (bare, sometimes without floors or curtains) or gestoffeerd (with floors, curtains and light fittings), so check which one before you compare rents. Just east, furnished houses in Zoetermeer are a second pool to search.

A house with a garden is the norm in Leidschendam-Voorburg: 73% of house listings mention a garden and 27% mention a balcony. Terraced houses usually have a deep back garden, while semi-detached and detached houses have garden on two or three sides; ask for the orientation, since a south-facing garden gets the afternoon sun.

A lease for a house in Leidschendam-Voorburg is open-ended by default since 1 July 2024, with fixed terms only in exceptions such as student and youth contracts. Expats on a posting often ask for a diplomatic clause, which lets the tenant end the lease early when the employer transfers them abroad; agree on it in writing before you sign.

• Oud Voorburg around the Herenstraat Oud Voorburg, the historic core of Leidschendam-Voorburg around the Herenstraat shopping street, has older town houses and villas on leafy streets, close to Voorburg station and Hofwijck, the country house of Constantijn Huygens. It suits families and expats who want shops within walking distance and a quick train or tram to Den Haag.
• Voorburg on the Den Haag border: post-war family streets The Voorburg districts that border Den Haag grew mainly after the Second World War and mix terraced family houses with apartment blocks. Houses here are the likeliest place to find a 3-bedroom rental at the lower end of the local range, with trams and Laan van NOI station within cycling distance.
• Leidschendam centre by the Vliet locks Leidschendam's old centre grew around the locks on the Vliet, the dam that gave the town its name, and has older houses near the water. The Westfield Mall of the Netherlands, the enlarged former Leidsenhage shopping centre, is within cycling distance, which suits families who want big-store shopping without driving into Den Haag.
• Stompwijk: polder village with detached houses Stompwijk, the village in the polder north-east of Leidschendam, has detached and semi-detached houses on larger plots with room to park, but daily shopping and schools mean a bike or car ride. For more village-style houses, compare with houses in Voorschoten north of the Vlietland lakes and houses in Zoetermeer to the east.
