The flat I live in is nice to live in, but towards the Apeldoornselaan/Dierenselaan it is really going downhill. Next to and behind the flat, fires have been set several times, which certainly gives the older residents an unpleasant feeling. Zuiderpark is relatively close, but many young people hang out there, so people don't like to go there anymore. Towards the Leyenburg district it's fine, so the walks go that way and the shopping is done there. All in all, it's reasonably pleasant to live, although there are some points of concern due to loitering youths. Hopefully something can be done about that; cameras are not allowed due to privacy, but unfortunately that means the youths who set fires are still out of sight. The flat is cleaned by a cleaning company, but it's a shame that some residents don't take hygiene so seriously. Accessibility is good with trams 4 and 6 right outside the door. Shopping centre within walking distance, so that's fine too. So if it doesn't get any worse, it's a good place to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe would like to contribute to improvements. Crime Our biggest concern is crime. My husband's work van has been broken into three times. Once nothing was taken, but the other two times thousands of euros worth of tools were stolen. Additionally, our cargo bike was stolen and the screen of our electric bike was taken. For a young family, this has a huge impact. Safety We live above the café/nightclub where an explosive device was placed on the windows a few weeks ago. This was a shocking event that further heightened our feelings of insecurity in the neighbourhood. Other problems in the neighbourhood We also experience a lot of nuisance from dog poop. It's almost a miracle if we or our children don't step in a pile when getting into the car. The neglected boats along the quay are also a problem. They seem to attract homeless people, and I often hear suspicious noises coming from the boats when I have to get something from the car in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's safe but quite far from the city. Public transport is always slow and breaks down. Besides, there's no nature and my neighbourhood is extremely noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is busy. Also at night. Many foreigners and very noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is a mix of different cultures, so far we feel very much at home here, we keep an eye on each other and we enjoy living on our street. The only downside is really the parking situation, an absolute nightmare

About Escamplaan 20, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €259,500 is 18% below the neighbourhood average of €316,143, which suggests it is keenly priced. However, the apartment has an energy label D and is 61 m², so the price per m² works out to about €4,254, compared to the neighbourhood average of €4,376 per m². This makes it slightly below the local average on a per-square-metre basis.
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war apartment. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical. A D label means heating costs will be moderate but not as low as a modern home. You can expect reasonable energy bills, though not as efficient as a B or A label.
Public transport is good: trams 4 and 6 stop right outside the door, as noted by residents. The nearest train station is 3.4 km away, which is a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride. This makes commuting to the city centre or other parts of Den Haag straightforward.
Residents have raised concerns about crime, including theft from vehicles and bikes, and nuisance from loitering youths. One review mentions an explosive device placed at a nearby café. Dog poop on pavements and neglected boats along the quay are also mentioned. However, the area is considered reasonably pleasant overall, with good access to shops and transport.
The nearest supermarket, Albert Heijn, is 245 m away, just around the corner. Other supermarkets like Jumbo and Ekoplaza are within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are within walking distance: WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla is 4386 m away, and De Parachute is 4558 m. Secondary schools are about 1.3 km away.
Rustenburg has a mix of households: about 30% have children, while 50% are single-person households. The area is densely built with many pre-war apartments. Some residents report safety concerns, which may be a consideration for families. However, there are schools and parks nearby, and the Zuiderpark is 0.7 km away.
The building was constructed in 1927, typical for this area where 97.2% of homes were built before 1945. The apartment has an energy label D, which is common for its age. The listing does not mention recent renovations, so you should expect some original features and potential maintenance needs.
The neighbourhood recorded 252 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a residential area. Residents have reported theft, break-ins, and nuisance from youths. The area has a high address density, which can contribute to more incidents. It's worth considering this if safety is a priority.
