I experience the Noordpolderbuurt as a quiet, pleasant neighbourhood where you can really feel at home. Almost everyone has known each other for years, creating a warm and close community. The neighbourhood feels safe, both during the day and in the evening, and there is a relaxed atmosphere. The homes are generally of good quality and well-maintained. The streets are clean and hygienic, which further enhances living comfort. There is also plenty of greenery in the area; the nature and parks make it a nice place to walk or unwind. In addition, there are sufficient amenities in the neighbourhood, making daily life easy and pleasant. Whether it's shops, schools, or other important facilities: everything is easily accessible. The accessibility of the neighbourhood is excellent, whether by public transport, car, or bike. In short: the Noordpolderbuurt is for me a quiet, safe, and social neighbourhood where people enjoy living and where the atmosphere feels positive and familiar.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood with plenty of parks and other amenities. However, there are quite a few problems in the area, such as nuisance and dangerous people who harass you. Additionally, it's often dirty because rubbish isn't collected often enough. Despite all this, I'm quite satisfied with living in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is very cosy and you feel at home here. Good communication with neighbours. Lots of shops in the area. Easy to travel by public transport. Close to the city centre, which is of course very nice. There is also a forest nearby where you can explore nature. Fun activities for children, like going to the petting zoo. There are also community centres where you can meet people and do fun activities. In short, this is where you want to live.

Auto-translated to English by AIIf something ever goes wrong, it's not immediately 'yes police', but we usually talk it out among ourselves. We trust each other that someone won't immediately be reported if, for example, they make noise. Usually we just address the neighbour directly instead of making a big deal out of it.
Auto-translated to English by AII’ve lived in Laak as an international student for over a year now and I had great experiences with the people and amenities available. Everyone speaks English and I have experienced no harassment about not being Dutch.

About Drebbelstraat 38, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €324,500 is above the neighbourhood average of €290,397 and the median of €279,999. However, this flat is 68 m², while the average sold flat in the area is 76 m². The price per m² works out to about €4,772, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,998 per m². So it's on the high side, but the home's condition and location may justify it.
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war home. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label D or lower, so this is typical. A D label means moderate energy efficiency; you can expect reasonable heating costs but not the lowest bills. Improvements like better insulation could improve the label.
Residents have mixed views. One says it feels safe day and evening, while another mentions nuisance and harassment. Cleanliness is also a point of contention: some find streets clean, others say rubbish collection is infrequent. Overall, the neighbourhood has a total of 504 crimes reported, which is relatively high, but many residents still feel at home.
You have several supermarkets within a five-minute walk: Albert Heijn at 274 m, Jumbo and Aldi at 469 m. Primary schools are about 1.5 km away, and secondary schools around 2 km. A park is just 300 m away, and the train station is 1.9 km. Restaurants and a library are also within walking distance.
The train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. The neighbourhood has a very high address density (5606 per km²), indicating excellent urban connectivity.
The neighbourhood has many young adults (25-45 years make up 34% of residents) and a mix of singles and families. With 21% owner-occupied homes, it's a popular area for first-time buyers and investors. The flat's size and price may appeal to singles or couples looking for a character home in a lively area.
