Rustenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 101 m² apartment on Hilversumsestraat sits in the Rustenburg neighbourhood, a part of Den Haag that feels a world away from the city centre. With an A energy label and a 1927 build, it combines pre-war character with modern efficiency. At €465,000, it's the priciest of the 35 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 47% above the average asking price of €316,143, but the floor area is 38% larger than the local norm, so you're paying for space. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
Rustenburg is a mixed bag, according to residents. One says: "The flat I live in is nice to live in, but towards the Apeldoornselaan/Dierenselaan it is really going downhill." Another mentions "great concern about increasing crime and theft," citing break-ins and a stolen cargo bike. Yet the overall review score is 6.78 out of 10 from five reviews, and a third resident calls it "fine", safe but noisy and far from the city. The area is densely built (over 7,600 addresses per km²) and mostly pre-war housing, with a mix of families and singles. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Rustenburg.
Daily errands are easy: an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. For schools, the nearest primary is WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, about a ten-minute walk, though secondary schools are a bit further. The Zuiderpark is a five-minute walk, but some residents avoid it due to loitering youths. Public transport is good, trams 4 and 6 stop right outside, and the municipality Den Haag offers plenty of amenities within reach.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Onesta Vastgoed, Funda, and Vastgoed Nederland.

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 Hilversumsestraat 41, 'S-Gravenhage
It's the most expensive of the 35 homes currently for sale in Rustenburg, and 47% above the neighbourhood average of €316,143. However, the 101 m² floor area is 38% larger than the local average of 73 m², and the energy label A is rare in an area where 58% of homes have a D or lower label. So you're paying a premium for space and efficiency.
Residents report mixed feelings. One mentions fires set near flats and loitering youths, while another describes break-ins and a stolen cargo bike. The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 252, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to compare. The overall review score is 6.78 out of 10, so it's not universally unsafe, but there are concerns.
Trams 4 and 6 stop right outside the door, according to a resident. The nearest train station is 3.4 km away, so for longer journeys you'd need a tram or bike. The area is very urban with high address density, so buses and trams are frequent.
The nearest primary school, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is about a ten-minute walk. Other primaries like De Parachute and Pieter van der Plas School are within a couple of kilometres. Secondary schools are a bit further, at 1.3 km on average.
The apartment has an energy label A, which is very efficient. In Rustenburg, only 13.9% of homes have label A, while 58.3% have D or lower. So this home will have lower heating costs compared to most in the area.
The floor area is 101 m², which is 38% larger than the neighbourhood average. The layout is not described, so you'd need to view it.
Rustenburg has 920 households with children out of a total of 3,185, so about 29% are families. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the Zuiderpark is nearby for outdoor play. However, some residents mention nuisance from dog poop and loitering youths, which may be a concern.
