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 Columbusstraat 171, 'S-Gravenhage

The price per square metre works out at about €5,099, which is close to the neighbourhood average of €5,136 per m².

The Valkenboskwartier is a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. Residents appreciate its proximity to the centre and the beach, though some mention noise from busy roads. One resident says: "Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible." Another notes it's "tidy" and has "lovely people." However, a negative review mentions unpleasant smells. Overall, it scores 7.75 out of 10 from five reviews.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it. The neighbourhood is well connected by other means, though.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance. Jumbo and Albert Heijn are both about 300 metres away, just around the corner. PLUS is about 470 metres away, a couple of streets further. So daily groceries are very convenient.
Primary schools De Parachute and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer are both about a ten-minute walk away. For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are within about a 15-minute walk. There's also a child daycare centre just around the corner.
The apartment has an A energy label, which is very efficient. In the neighbourhood, only about 29% of homes have an A or A+ label, so this home performs well above average. You can expect relatively low energy costs.
The neighbourhood recorded 614 total crimes in the latest data, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. Some residents mention it's "tidy" and "nice," while one review complains about smells. It's always a good idea to visit the area yourself to get a feel for safety.
