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 Jansenstraat 1, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 52% below the average asking price in Houtwijk (€464,000) and also below the median (€495,000). However, this apartment is smaller (75 m²) than the neighbourhood average (104 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is on the low side compared to other homes in the area.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The home was built in 1923 and likely lacks modern insulation. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. In Houtwijk, most available homes have labels A, B or C, so this one is less efficient than average.
Houtwijk has many families, about 2,070 households with children. Residents mention that there is plenty for children to do and that neighbours look out for each other. There are several primary schools within a short walk, and the area feels safe and green.
The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, so commuting by train is not convenient. Residents note that bus and tram services exist but are limited, and connections to other parts of the city can be time-consuming. A car may be more practical.
At 75 m², this apartment is 28% smaller than the average home in Houtwijk (104 m²). It is a compact two-bedroom flat typical of pre-war construction. The price per m² works out to €3,000, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,428 per m².
Yes, residents describe Houtwijk as a quiet residential area with hardly any nuisance. The street itself is part of a well-maintained, green neighbourhood where people are friendly and helpful.
