The Valkenboskwartier is a dense, urban area with a very high address density. It's a mix of singles and families, with many smaller households. One resident calls it a "nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible," while another notes it's "quite noisy" next to a busy road but otherwise pleasant. A third review mentions an unpleasant smell, so experiences vary. Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.75 out of 10. The neighbourhood Valkenboskwartier is predominantly pre-war housing, with 93% built before 1945.
For your morning bread, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 4.5 km away, so you'd likely cycle or drive. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of restaurants and a library within a ten-minute walk, and the park is a bit further out.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Van den Akker NVM Makelaars and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible
Auto-translated to English by AIit smells very bad
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite noisy neighbourhood because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood. You can live here in larger or smaller homes. It's tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach, for example. Lovely people around you. It's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn. There are also small shops within walking distance. There's a good driving school, Phillipo.
Auto-translated to English by AIA normal neighbourhood, not busy or anything like that. Lots of shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the hygienic condition is concerned, there is much room for improvement. This by making offenders clean up their own mess and imposing much higher fines. This does mean that there should be better monitoring and that the supervisory service should not just drive by. This prevents nuisance from pests and pollution. But it also gives a safer feeling for the entire neighbourhood.

About Celsiusstraat 135, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €600,000 is 33% above the average asking price in the Valkenboskwartier, which is €451,726. However, this apartment is 97 m², slightly larger than the neighbourhood average of 94 m². The price per m² works out to about €6,186, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,136. So it's on the high side, but the location and size may justify it for some buyers.
Energy label E means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. In the Valkenboskwartier, 40% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing to reduce energy bills.
The Valkenboskwartier has a mix of households: about 24% have children, while 24% are couples without kids and 58% are singles. One resident describes it as a "good neighbourhood for families," noting it's tidy and close to the centre and beach. However, it can be noisy near main roads. There are primary schools within a 5 km radius, but the nearest is about 4.5 km away.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the neighbourhood is very well connected by tram and bus, given its central location in The Hague. The high address density (8,568 addresses per km²) indicates excellent urban amenities and frequent public transport options.
The neighbourhood recorded 614 total crimes in the latest data, which for a densely populated area of 11,640 residents is moderate. Reviews are mixed: one resident mentions it's "unhygienic, it stinks," while others find it pleasant.
