Leyenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1935 apartment on Den Helderstraat sits in the heart of Leyenburg, a lively multicultural pocket of Den Haag. With 68 m² and energy label C, it's a practical home for someone who values character over new-build gloss. The asking price of €265,000 is keen, 23% below the neighbourhood average of €344,315, and well under the median for apartments in Den Haag.
Residents describe Leyenburg as 'a nice multicultural neighbourhood, a bit of village in a city'. One says: 'We know our immediate neighbours and help each other when we can. We have a neighbourhood app together where we can share our problems with each other.' Another notes it's 'cosy old neighbourhood' with 'cosy shopping centres, good public transport facilities'. Parking is a recurring gripe, 'a big problem' according to one review. The area is densely built (nearly 6,000 addresses per km²) and mostly pre-war, with a mix of ages and household types. For more on the area, see municipality Den Haag.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There's also an Ekoplaza within a five-minute walk. Schools are a bit further out, the nearest primary, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is a ten-minute walk. The Zuiderpark is on your doorstep, perfect for a weekend stroll. The neighbourhood has a strong sense of community, with a local app keeping everyone in the loop.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Hooghlanden makelaars and also appears on Funda.

An old neighbourhood, from the 1940s. Unfortunately, a flat was built on Soesterbergstraat many years ago that doesn't fit in with the area at all. The conversion into bedsits hasn't improved the neighbourhood. Parking is a big problem. It is conveniently close to Zuiderpark though.

Auto-translated to English by AIOf course there are always a few people who don't take putting out the rubbish properly seriously. But overall, our neighbourhood is a nice, cosy area. We know our immediate neighbours and help each other when we can. We have a neighbourhood app together where we can share our problems with each other. And warn each other about thieves or vagrants. I am happy with my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in the FNP and there we spend a lot on keeping it cosy and clean. But outside our little neighbourhood it's an antisocial mess. Household items are just put out on the street. Always banger fireworks. Gatherings, with or without laughing gas, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is the quietest and cleanest in all of The Hague. Everywhere else you find rubbish on the streets, people who can't behave, traffic is a big joke, but in Leyenburg it's completely different. It's clean, quiet, peaceful here, people behave well, there are few traffic jams, and especially no stupid people standing on the bike paths with hazard lights.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood, unfortunately a lot of unpleasant things happen here though.

About Den Helderstraat 119, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 23% below the average asking price in Leyenburg (€344,315) and well under the median of €325,000. Given the 68 m² floor area and energy label C, it's priced keenly compared to other flats in the neighbourhood. However, the final sale price depends on demand and the condition of the property.
Leyenburg is a multicultural, pre-war neighbourhood with a village-like atmosphere. Residents appreciate the community spirit and convenient shops, but parking is a known issue. The area is densely populated and has a mix of ages, with many single-person households.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus, bike or car to reach it.
Jumbo is 337 m away, Albert Heijn 364 m, and Ekoplaza 755 m, all within a short walk. There are several other supermarkets within a kilometre.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means reasonable energy efficiency, but you can expect moderate heating costs. The majority of homes in Leyenburg have label C or lower.
Parking is a known challenge in Leyenburg, as residents mention. The home does not include a private parking spot, so you would need to rely on street parking, which can be difficult.
The apartment was built in 1935, so it's a pre-war property with typical characteristics of that era, solid construction but possibly in need of some maintenance.
