I've been living in Houtwijk for a while now and overall I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood. What I particularly experience as positive are the people here. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the street. The area is also clean and well-maintained, which gives a nice and cared-for feeling. Moreover, it feels very safe here; I feel at ease in the surroundings at any time of day. What I find less pleasant is the accessibility of Houtwijk by public transport. There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome or time-consuming. This makes it difficult for people without a car to get to other places quickly. All in all, I think Houtwijk is a nice and quiet place to live, especially because of the friendly neighbours, the cleanliness and the feeling of safety. Hopefully public transport will be better organised in the future.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other. All amenities are close by. Actually, this is the perfect neighbourhood. Everyone neatly cleans up the mess on the street, the houses are beautiful and well-insulated, green spaces are next to the centre which is also nice and spacious. Moreover, there is plenty to do for the children. Accessibility by both public transport and car is fine.

About Burgemeester Françoisplein 25, 'S-Gravenhage
At €200,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Houtwijk and 57% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €464,000. The price per m² works out at roughly €3,448, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,428 per m². However, the apartment has an energy label G, which means higher heating costs to expect, and the floor area is smaller than average. So the price is keen, but reflects the home's size and energy efficiency.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be relatively high. In Houtwijk, most homes for sale have better labels: 36% have label A, 19% label B and 33% label C. Only 11% have label D or lower. So this apartment is among the least efficient in the neighbourhood.
Residents mention that public transport is limited. There are buses and trams, but connections to other parts of The Hague can be cumbersome and time-consuming. The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, so a car or bicycle is more practical for longer journeys.
For daily groceries, a Lidl is 417 m away and an Albert Heijn is 489 m away. A restaurant is 600 m from the home. However, one resident notes that there are no shops in the immediate vicinity, so you will need to walk a few minutes for most errands. A park is just 200 m away.
Houtwijk is described by residents as a green, quiet and safe residential area with friendly neighbours. It has a mix of families and older residents.
