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 82, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €299,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €304,897 and the median of €279,000. Given the 62 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €4,823, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,333. So it's priced keenly overall, but the per-m² cost reflects the compact size.
The energy label is C, which is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is moderately efficient, so you can expect average energy costs. It's not the most efficient label, but it's also not the least. The label does not directly indicate the condition of insulation or the heating system.
Residents have mixed feelings. One review mentions crime, including a van break-in and a stolen cargo bike. Another notes fires set near flats and loitering youths. However, the overall review score is 6.78 out of 10, and some residents find it reasonably pleasant. The area has a high urban density, which can come with both benefits and drawbacks.
An Albert Heijn is just around the corner (360 m), and a Jumbo and Lidl are within a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance, though the closest is about 4.2 km away. The Zuiderpark is a couple of streets away, and there are restaurants and a library nearby.
Trams 4 and 6 stop right outside the door, according to a resident. The nearest train station is 3.4 km away, so for longer journeys you'd need a tram or bike. The area is well-connected within the city.
