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 311, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €300,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €344,315 and the median of €325,000. At 94 m², that works out to about €3,191 per m², which is lower than the average of €4,081 per m² in Leyenburg. So it's priced keenly compared to other homes currently on the market.
The apartment has an energy label D. This is a common label for homes built around 1938. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's worth noting that 45.9% of homes in the neighbourhood have a label D or lower.
Leyenburg has a mix of residents, with about 2,455 households with children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and Pieter van der Plas School. Residents describe it as a cosy, multicultural area where neighbours help each other, though parking can be tight.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, residents mention good public transport facilities in the area, likely buses and trams. The neighbourhood is very urban, so connections to the rest of Den Haag are good.
In the past year, 402 homes were sold in the neighbourhood, with an average selling time of 40 days. That's a fairly active market. The average sold price was €326,604, so this apartment at €300,000 is priced below that.
Parking is a known issue in Leyenburg. Residents mention it as a big problem, especially with the conversion of some buildings into bedsits. The area is densely built, so street parking can be challenging. It's something to consider if you have a car.
