The neighbourhood is active but not unsafe; there are shops and amenities within walking distance, so you can easily buy a döner and do your shopping at Albert Heijn. There are a few homeless people here who are a bit chaotic, but if you mind your own business, nothing happens.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery often nuisance from people (foreign) who share houses here with too many people. And leave rubbish everywhere on the street. And sometimes I don't feel safe on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 3 years and nothing weird has ever happened here, really a quiet neighbourhood. Neighbours are really kind and talk to each other normally.

About Elise Van Calcarstraat 72, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €259,500 is below the neighbourhood average of €302,964 and the median of €292,000.

So it's priced keenly compared to other homes in Laakkwartier-Oost.
