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 Kaapstraat 80, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €285,000 is 16% below the neighbourhood average of €338,886 and also below the median of €292,250. Given the 80 m² floor area, that works out to about €3,563 per m², while the neighbourhood average per m² is €3,958. So it's priced keenly compared to other homes for sale in Transvaalkwartier-Zuid.
An E label is on the lower end of the scale, so you can expect higher energy bills compared to better-rated homes. In this neighbourhood, 20% of homes have an A+ label and 15% have an A label, while 25% are rated D or lower. The exact costs depend on usage, but heating an 80 m² pre-war apartment with label E will be a significant monthly expense.
The neighbourhood has many tram and bus stops within walking distance, as residents note. The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle. The address density is very high at 7,369 addresses per km², reflecting the urban character of the area.
Several primary schools are within walking distance, such as De Parachute (about 3.5 km) and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer (about 3.9 km). For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are around 4.3 km away. The neighbourhood also has multiple childcare options nearby.
Residents mention that parking is minimal in the area. One review notes "little to no nuisance" but specifically highlights parking as a challenge. Given the dense urban setting, you may need to rely on street parking or consider a permit. The listing does not include a parking space.
