Very many unsafe situations in my neighbourhood. More police needed.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany homeless people, and cars that think it's a racetrack. Bikes on the pavement, fatbike misery. Little or none. Respect from people. People should just throw their rubbish in the bins. And people here shouldn't put their rubbish bags by the underground container when it's full.

About Kootwijkstraat 160, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €319,000 is close to the neighbourhood average of €311,274 and the median of €298,000. Given the 73 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €4,370, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €3,948 per m². So it is priced in line with the market, not a bargain but not overpriced either.
Energy label D is the middle of the scale, not the most efficient, but not the worst either. It means the home has an official energy performance registration, and you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, over half of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
Residents have mixed views. One review mentions "unsafe situations" and calls for more police, while another complains about rubbish and anti-social behaviour. However, a third resident describes it as "multicultural friendly neighbours." The neighbourhood recorded 380 crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a dense urban area.
The neighbourhood is very diverse. One resident sums it up as "Multicultural friendly neighbours." Demographically, the area has many young adults (25-45 years) and a mix of single-person households and families. About half the homes are owner-occupied, so you will find a mix of owners and renters.
The nearest Albert Heijn is just 275 metres away, so you can walk there in a couple of minutes. Another Albert Heijn is 483 metres away, and there is a SPAR express about 925 metres from the apartment. Daily shopping is very convenient.
The nearest primary school is De Parachute, about 4.1 km away, that is a bit of a distance. WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla is 4.5 km away, and there are several other primary schools within 5 km. For secondary education, the nearest school is 1.1 km away.
The street is in a very urban area (address density over 7,000 per km²), so it is not quiet in a suburban sense. One resident mentions cars speeding and bikes on the pavement. However, the apartment is a flat, so noise from neighbours may also be a factor. The listing does not specify the floor level or orientation.
In the neighbourhood, sold homes took an average of 43 days to sell. That is a fairly typical timeframe for a city like Den Haag. The current listing has not been on the market long, so there is no urgency, but it is worth keeping an eye on.
