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.

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 Hovylaan 29, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 36% below the average asking price in Houtwijk (€464,000) and also below the median (€495,000). Given the small floor area (79 m²) and poor energy label (G), the price is keen but reflects the home's condition. Similar homes in the area sell for around €459,000 on average.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity costs. In Houtwijk, most homes for sale have labels A or B, so this apartment stands out as needing significant energy improvements.
Residents describe Houtwijk as green, safe, and friendly. One says: 'Everyone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other.' Another calls it a 'quiet residential area with lots of greenery.' The only drawback is that shops are not within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, so commuting by train requires a bus or bike ride. Buses and trams serve the area, but one resident notes that connections to other parts of the city can be time-consuming.
Primary schools are within a ten-minute walk, such as WSKO r.-k basisschool Verburch-hof (about 3 km). Secondary schools are a bit further, around 1.4 km on average. The area has several options for both primary and secondary education.
Currently, 37 homes are for sale in Houtwijk, with prices ranging from €200,000 to €895,000. This apartment is at the lower end of that range, reflecting its size and energy label.
