One resident describes it as a "decent neighbourhood" where "people keep to themselves, little to no nuisance, only parking is minimal." Another says: "Transvaal is a working-class neighbourhood, which can be very cosy but also very busy. Often arguments due to Eastern Europeans and a lot of rubbish on the street and around the container." A third adds: "I am largely satisfied with the community. Especially those on my street and around it." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.6 out of 10. It's densely populated, with many families and a mix of ages. For more context, see the Transvaalkwartier-Zuid neighbourhood.

People keep to themselves, little to no nuisance, only parking is minimal.
Auto-translated to English by AITransvaal is a working-class neighbourhood, which can be very cosy but also very busy. Often arguments due to Eastern Europeans and a lot of rubbish on the street and around the container. Perhaps the warning could also be in Turkish/Bulgarian. The municipality does work very hard to keep it clean. Many amenities in the form of shops with foreign products, the Haagse Markt, etc. Enough schools. There could be more green spaces. Many elderly people live completely alone in a 5/6-room house, while on the other hand entire families have to make do with 1/2 rooms. These elderly people should really be offered a better deal: a smaller home, but without suddenly having to pay much more rent. Plenty of play areas, both for little ones and older children (football cages, for example). The community centre also offers many opportunities for both children and adults. Various activities to keep the youth off the streets. In short, I enjoy living here very much.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood there are several playgrounds, and many tram and bus stops. So it is easy to reach and there is the possibility to move around quickly if you want to go somewhere and you don't have a front garden. There are also many small shops and supermarkets in the area. Dentists, GPs, pharmacies, shops, supermarkets etc. are all in the neighbourhood (within walking distance). The same goes for primary schools, there are many different primary schools in the area. I am largely satisfied with the community. Especially those on my street and around it. Unfortunately, there is occasionally some litter around the waste containers in the neighbourhood. Overall, I am satisfied with my neighbourhood.

About Fischerstraat 162, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €318,000 is close to the neighbourhood average of €338,886 and the median of €292,250. Given the 72 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €4,417, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,958 per m². So it's priced in line with the market, though the E energy label may mean higher running costs.
The home has an energy label E, which means it's not very efficient. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes have A+ labels and 15% have A, so most other properties for sale perform better. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a more efficient home.
Transvaalkwartier-Zuid has many families, about 46% of households have children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and secondary schools are a ten-minute walk away. Residents mention plenty of playgrounds and a community centre with activities for children.
The neighbourhood has many tram and bus stops, making it easy to get around. The nearest train station is 2.4 km away. Residents appreciate the quick connections to other parts of the city.
One resident notes that parking is minimal, so it can be a challenge. The area is densely built, and many streets have limited space. You may need to rely on street parking, which could be competitive.
There are many small shops and supermarkets in the area, including a Lidl (389 m), SPAR express (441 m), and Albert Heijn (568 m). Dentists, GPs, and pharmacies are all within walking distance. The Haagse Markt is also nearby for fresh produce.
The apartment was built in 1917, so it's a pre-war property. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you should expect typical wear and tear for a home of this age. The energy label E suggests the insulation and heating system may be outdated.
