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 Hendrik van Deventerstraat 143, 'S-Gravenhage
The rent is 40% above the neighbourhood average of €1,778, which makes it one of the pricier options in the Valkenboskwartier. However, at 83 m² it's larger than the average rental in the area (68 m²), and the energy label B keeps running costs reasonable. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and a central location.
Residents give it a 7.75 out of 10. Some love the proximity to the centre and the easy access, while others mention noise from a busy road and occasional unpleasant smells. It's a very urban area with a mix of singles and families, and you'll find shops, schools and a GP within walking distance.
Ekoplaza is 299 metres away, Albert Heijn 309 metres, and PLUS 325 metres, all within a five-minute walk. For a larger shop, Jumbo is about 591 metres away.
There are several primary schools within a short walk, including De Parachute (about 5 km) and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla (5.4 km). Secondary schools are also within a ten-minute walk.
The apartment has energy label B, which is good, it means the home is reasonably well insulated and you won't face excessively high energy bills. The building dates from 1920, so the label suggests it has been upgraded.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. With 83 m², it could comfortably have two or three bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The listing does not mention any outdoor space such as a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's best to assume there is no private outdoor area.
