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 92, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 25% below the average asking price in Leyenburg (€344,315) and also under the median of €325,000. Given the 71 m² and energy label D, it's priced keenly for a pre-war flat that could use some updating. The neighbourhood has a healthy sales volume, 402 homes sold in the last period, so there is activity.
Leyenburg is a 1940s neighbourhood with a village-like atmosphere despite being in the city.

Jumbo is 326 m away, just a couple of streets from the flat. Albert Heijn is 353 m, also within easy walking distance. For organic groceries, Ekoplaza is 765 m away. So daily shopping is very convenient.
