The flat I live in is nice to live in, but towards the Apeldoornselaan/Dierenselaan it is really going downhill. Next to and behind the flat, fires have been set several times, which certainly gives the older residents an unpleasant feeling. Zuiderpark is relatively close, but many young people hang out there, so people don't like to go there anymore. Towards the Leyenburg district it's fine, so the walks go that way and the shopping is done there. All in all, it's reasonably pleasant to live, although there are some points of concern due to loitering youths. Hopefully something can be done about that; cameras are not allowed due to privacy, but unfortunately that means the youths who set fires are still out of sight. The flat is cleaned by a cleaning company, but it's a shame that some residents don't take hygiene so seriously. Accessibility is good with trams 4 and 6 right outside the door. Shopping centre within walking distance, so that's fine too. So if it doesn't get any worse, it's a good place to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe would like to contribute to improvements. Crime Our biggest concern is crime. My husband's work van has been broken into three times. Once nothing was taken, but the other two times thousands of euros worth of tools were stolen. Additionally, our cargo bike was stolen and the screen of our electric bike was taken. For a young family, this has a huge impact. Safety We live above the café/nightclub where an explosive device was placed on the windows a few weeks ago. This was a shocking event that further heightened our feelings of insecurity in the neighbourhood. Other problems in the neighbourhood We also experience a lot of nuisance from dog poop. It's almost a miracle if we or our children don't step in a pile when getting into the car. The neglected boats along the quay are also a problem. They seem to attract homeless people, and I often hear suspicious noises coming from the boats when I have to get something from the car in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's safe but quite far from the city. Public transport is always slow and breaks down. Besides, there's no nature and my neighbourhood is extremely noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is busy. Also at night. Many foreigners and very noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is a mix of different cultures, so far we feel very much at home here, we keep an eye on each other and we enjoy living on our street. The only downside is really the parking situation, an absolute nightmare

About Bilthovenselaan 42, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 15% below the neighbourhood average of €316,143, which suggests it is keenly priced. However, the energy label F means higher energy costs, and the flat is from 1929, so maintenance may be a factor. The average price per m² in Rustenburg is €4,376, and this flat works out at about €3,743 per m².
The energy label is F, which is poor. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
Residents have mixed feelings. One mentions crime: a work van broken into, a cargo bike stolen, and an explosive device placed at a nearby café. Another says it's safe but noisy. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 252, but without context it's hard to compare. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel.
Trams 4 and 6 stop right outside the door, providing good connections. The nearest train station is 3.4 km away, so for longer journeys you'd need a tram or bike to the station. The area is very urban with a high address density, so bus and tram options are plentiful.
Yes, Albert Heijn is just around the corner (319 m), and Jumbo is a couple of streets away (726 m). There are also Lidl and other Albert Heijn branches within a ten-minute walk. Daily groceries are very convenient.
Rustenburg has 920 households with children out of 3,185 total, so it's not predominantly family-oriented. One resident with a young family expressed concern about crime and safety.
