An old neighbourhood, from the 1940s. Unfortunately, a flat was built on Soesterbergstraat many years ago that doesn't fit in with the area at all. The conversion into bedsits hasn't improved the neighbourhood. Parking is a big problem. It is conveniently close to Zuiderpark though.

Auto-translated to English by AIOf course there are always a few people who don't take putting out the rubbish properly seriously. But overall, our neighbourhood is a nice, cosy area. We know our immediate neighbours and help each other when we can. We have a neighbourhood app together where we can share our problems with each other. And warn each other about thieves or vagrants. I am happy with my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in the FNP and there we spend a lot on keeping it cosy and clean. But outside our little neighbourhood it's an antisocial mess. Household items are just put out on the street. Always banger fireworks. Gatherings, with or without laughing gas, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is the quietest and cleanest in all of The Hague. Everywhere else you find rubbish on the streets, people who can't behave, traffic is a big joke, but in Leyenburg it's completely different. It's clean, quiet, peaceful here, people behave well, there are few traffic jams, and especially no stupid people standing on the bike paths with hazard lights.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood, unfortunately a lot of unpleasant things happen here though.

About Benschoplaan 46, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €325,000 is exactly the median price for apartments in Leyenburg, so it's in line with the market. The average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €4,081, and this home has 107 m², which works out to about €3,037 per m², below the average. That makes it a reasonable price for the size.
The energy label is D, which is common for a pre-war apartment. It means the home is moderately efficient, so you can expect reasonable but not minimal energy costs. In Leyenburg, about 46% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
Parking is a known issue in Leyenburg. Residents mention it as a big problem, with high pressure on street parking. The home does not come with a private parking spot, so you would need to rely on on-street parking, which can be challenging.
There are several primary schools within a short distance, such as WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla (about 3.3 km) and the Protestant Christian Pieter van der Plas School (about 3.6 km). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.8 km away.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, there are good tram and bus connections in the area that can take you to the city centre or other parts of Den Haag.
The neighbourhood recorded 986 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a residential area. However, residents generally feel safe and mention a strong community spirit, with neighbours looking out for each other.
