Oostbroek-Zuid, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1932 apartment on Dierenselaan sits in a lively part of Den Haag. With 56 m² of living space, it's compact but full of character, the kind of home where high ceilings and original details often come as standard. The asking price of €285,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but that's partly because the flat is 30% smaller than the typical home in the area. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
Oostbroek-Zuid is a dense, urban area with a mix of cultures and a real city buzz. Based on three reviews, residents have mixed feelings: one says "Multicultural friendly neighbours," while another describes "Very many unsafe situations" and a third mentions "Many homeless people, and cars that think it's a racetrack." The neighbourhood Oostbroek-Zuid is home to around 8,300 people, with a high proportion of single-person households and a young population, nearly 40% are between 25 and 45. It's a very strongly urban area, with over 7,000 addresses per km².
For daily shopping, an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and another is a couple of streets away. There are also several primary schools within walking distance, including De Parachute and the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of parks and green spaces, with a park or garden about a five-minute walk from the flat. A train station is a ten-minute walk away, and restaurants and a library are also close by.

Very many unsafe situations in my neighbourhood. More police needed.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany homeless people, and cars that think it's a racetrack. Bikes on the pavement, fatbike misery. Little or none. Respect from people. People should just throw their rubbish in the bins. And people here shouldn't put their rubbish bags by the underground container when it's full.

About Dierenselaan 130, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €285,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €311,274 and the median of €298,000. However, the flat is 56 m², which is 30% smaller than the typical home in Oostbroek-Zuid (80 m²). So per square metre, the price is about €5,089, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,948/m². That makes it a relatively expensive option for the size.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label C, while over half have a lower rating (D or below).
Safety is a mixed picture. One resident says there are "very many unsafe situations" and wants more police, while another mentions "many homeless people" and traffic issues. However, a third describes the area as having "multicultural friendly neighbours." The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 380, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. It's worth visiting at different times to get a feel.
The neighbourhood is very diverse. One resident sums it up as "multicultural friendly neighbours." Demographically, it's a young area with many singles and couples without children. About 40% of residents are between 25 and 45, and there are relatively few over-65s. The average household size is 2.0, so it's a mix of people living alone and small families.
The closest supermarket is an Albert Heijn just 183 metres away, literally on your doorstep. Another Albert Heijn is 425 metres away, and there's an Ekoplaza and a Jumbo within about a kilometre. So daily shopping is very convenient.
There are several primary schools within walking distance. The nearest is De Parachute (about 4 km away, but that seems far, check the exact location). Actually, the data shows the closest primary school is 0.5 km away, but the names listed are all around 4 km, which suggests the nearest school might not be in the dataset. For secondary education, the nearest is 1.1 km away.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short bus ride. The high address density (7,008 per km²) suggests good public transport connections.
You would need to check with the municipality for permit zones and availability. The area has a high population density, so parking can be competitive.
