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 206, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 28% below the neighbourhood average of €344,315, but the apartment is also 27% smaller than the local average floor area. Given the energy label C and the 1937 construction, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller flat in this area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not as efficient as a modern home. In Leyenburg, about 32% of homes have label C, while 46% have a lower rating.
Very convenient. Lidl is 350 metres away, Albert Heijn is 484 metres, and Jumbo is 535 metres, all within a short walk. There are also several other supermarkets within a kilometre.
