Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible

Auto-translated to English by AIQuite noisy neighbourhood because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood. You can live here in larger or smaller homes. It's tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach, for example. Lovely people around you. It's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn. There are also small shops within walking distance. There's a good driving school, Phillipo.
Auto-translated to English by AIA normal neighbourhood, not busy or anything like that. Lots of shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the hygienic condition is concerned, there is much room for improvement. This by making offenders clean up their own mess and imposing much higher fines. This does mean that there should be better monitoring and that the supervisory service should not just drive by. This prevents nuisance from pests and pollution. But it also gives a safer feeling for the entire neighbourhood.

About Galileïstraat 161, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €700,000, which is 55% above the neighbourhood average of €451,726. However, this apartment is larger (110 m² vs 94 m² average) and has an A energy label, while many homes in the area are pre-war with lower labels. The price per m² works out to about €6,364, compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,136. Whether it's fair depends on how you value the size and efficiency.
The Valkenboskwartier is a densely populated, central neighbourhood with a young population. Residents appreciate its proximity to the city centre and beach, but some mention noise from a busy road and occasional unpleasant smells. It's a mixed area with many singles and families, and most homes are pre-war apartments. The overall resident rating is 7.75 out of 10.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, which is about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride.
There are several supermarkets within walking distance: Jumbo at 169 m, Albert Heijn at 267 m, another Albert Heijn at 408 m, PLUS at 490 m, and Ekoplaza at 596 m. So daily shopping is very convenient.
The apartment has an energy label A, which is very efficient. This means heating and electricity costs are likely to be relatively low compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, only 21.4% of homes have label A, and 40.2% have label D or lower, so this is a strong point.
With 110 m² and an A label, it could work for a small family. However, the neighbourhood has many singles and couples, and the nearest primary school is 4.5 km away. The area is more urban and lively, which some families appreciate, but others may prefer a quieter suburb.
