How residents experience their district
Over the years, this neighbourhood has improved in my opinion. Huygenspark was renovated not long ago and is a vibrant park for all ages. The Huygenspark neighbourhood is an extension of the notorious Schilderswijk district. But you don't notice any of that here; up to the level of Holland Spoor station, everything is perfectly fine. Accessibility is top-notch; you're quickly in the city centre, quickly at the train station, and quickly on the tram towards Scheveningen or other places in The Hague. Plenty of amenities; everything you need can be found in the neighbourhood.
