The neighbourhood Vissershaven is a close community where most residents know each other. One resident says: "If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony." Another notes: "My experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like). In the evenings, there are often young people racing by on fatbikes." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores 7.38 out of 10. The area is densely built (3,559 addresses per km²) and very urban, with a mix of ages and households.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Aldi and Albert Heijn are a five-minute walk away. The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is a ten-minute walk, while secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege are a couple of streets away. The municipality Den Haag offers extensive amenities, with a restaurant 200 metres away and a park or garden 500 metres from home.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Korff de Gidts NVM Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like). In the evenings, there are often young people racing by on fatbikes. That's the less pleasant part, besides the fact that this happens all day long. Furthermore, my neighbourhood is diverse; sometimes children play in the street, people walk their dogs or go to sports or the like. Most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello (I think that's also the spirit of the times). There are also occasionally confused people. Otherwise, the community is fine and there is very open communication!
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice and cosy neighbourhood. Landlord Hofwonen are scammers and want to cheat people time and again by not doing the maintenance and repairs they are legally obliged to. Moreover, the houses are freezing cold in winter, which should be banned. The neighbourhood is cosy. Nice people. The green in the neighbourhood is the Bosjes van Poot. It's like Shrek's swamp, really a filthy mess. Regularly there is a thick layer of bird droppings on the pavement and street. The municipality should clean this more often. Thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets and in the neighbourhood.

About Dr. Lelykade 158S, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €871,838, but this apartment is also 41% larger than the average (161 m² vs 114 m²) and has a modern build and energy label A. In the past year, homes in Vissershaven sold for an average of €789,645, so this is a premium listing for a top-spec property.
The energy label is A, which means the home is very energy-efficient. You can expect low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, 53.7% of homes have label A and 29.9% have A+ or better, so this is in line with the modern housing stock here.
Residents report very little crime or nuisance. One review mentions occasional young people on fatbikes in the evenings, but overall the area feels safe. The community is described as friendly and open, with children playing in the street and people walking their dogs.
The nearest train station is 5.6 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, the area is well served by trams and buses that connect to Den Haag city centre and other parts of the region.
The apartment was built in 2017, so it is relatively new. Construction standards from that period include good insulation and modern installations. The energy label A confirms the building is efficient.
This is a for-sale property, not a rental, so there is no landlord involved. One neighbourhood review mentions issues with a landlord called Hofwonen, but that relates to rental properties in the area, not this specific home.
Given the dense urban setting (3,559 addresses per km²), street parking may be limited.
