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.
