Buying a home in Sijtwende, Voorburg.
Sijtwende is where Voorburg's older villa-lined streets meet newer family homes, mostly from the 1970s onward, with plenty of breathing room between properties. You'll find yourself minutes from the Vliet river and the quieter side of things compared to central Voorburg, but close enough to shops and the station when you need them. The neighborhood draws couples and families who want a garden and peace, not the buzz of busier areas. Most people here have chosen it for stability and space, and that shows in how the streets feel.

What to consider when buying in Sijtwende
Pros:
- Direct access to Voorburg station with frequent trains to The Hague, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam; no need for a car to commute
- Quieter than central The Hague while staying within the same municipality; mostly single-family homes with actual gardens
- Close to the Haagse Beek nature reserve for walking and cycling without heading deep into countryside
- Schools (both primary and secondary) within walking distance along familiar residential streets
Cons:
- Limited nightlife or restaurants within Sijtwende itself; you'll depend on The Hague or Leidschendam for dining and entertainment
- Narrow, older streets around the core make parking tight if you do own a car
- Fewer shops in the immediate area; most errands require a short trip to the Voorburg center or Leidschendam
- Housing stock is predominantly older, typically from the 1950s–80s; expect renovation costs if you're not buying something recently updated
