Leyenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 93 m² apartment on Driebergenstraat sits in the Leyenburg neighbourhood of Den Haag. The building dates from 1950 and has an F energy label, so heating costs are something to factor in. At €335,000, the asking price is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €344,315, making it a keen option compared to other apartments in Den Haag.
Residents describe Leyenburg as a cosy, multicultural area with a village feel. One resident 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." Another notes: "An old neighbourhood, from the 1940s. Parking is a big problem. It is conveniently close to Zuiderpark though." The area has a mix of ages, with many single-person households and a fair share of families. For more context, see the municipality Den Haag page.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Lidl are a couple of streets away. Primary schools are within walking distance, with WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla about a ten-minute walk. The Zuiderpark is on your doorstep for a weekend stroll. The neighbourhood is densely built, with a very high address density typical of urban Den Haag.
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 Driebergenstraat 150, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €335,000 is slightly below the average sale price in Leyenburg (€344,315) and close to the median of €325,000. Given the 93 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €3,602, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,081 per m². So it's priced keenly for the area.
The home has an energy label F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the property is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In Leyenburg, about 46% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area.
You have three supermarkets within a five-minute walk: Albert Heijn at 390 m, Jumbo at 448 m, and Lidl at 459 m. That covers your daily groceries easily. There are also several restaurants and a park (Zuiderpark) nearby.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the area is well served by trams and buses given its urban density.
The floor area is 93 m², which typically accommodates two to three bedrooms, but you would need to check the layout with the agent.
Parking is a known issue in Leyenburg, as residents mention. The listing does not specify whether a parking spot is included. Given the dense urban setting, street parking may be limited.
