I've been living in Houtwijk for a while now and overall I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood. What I particularly experience as positive are the people here. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the street. The area is also clean and well-maintained, which gives a nice and cared-for feeling. Moreover, it feels very safe here; I feel at ease in the surroundings at any time of day. What I find less pleasant is the accessibility of Houtwijk by public transport. There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome or time-consuming. This makes it difficult for people without a car to get to other places quickly. All in all, I think Houtwijk is a nice and quiet place to live, especially because of the friendly neighbours, the cleanliness and the feeling of safety. Hopefully public transport will be better organised in the future.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other. All amenities are close by. Actually, this is the perfect neighbourhood. Everyone neatly cleans up the mess on the street, the houses are beautiful and well-insulated, green spaces are next to the centre which is also nice and spacious. Moreover, there is plenty to do for the children. Accessibility by both public transport and car is fine.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet residential area with lots of greenery. Pleasant living environment and friendly neighbours. Hardly any nuisance. The only downside is no shops in the immediate vicinity.

About Laan van de Mensenrechten 118, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €325,000 is 30% below the average asking price in Houtwijk (€464,000) and also below the median of €495,000. However, the floor area of 71 m² is 32% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 104 m². So the price per square metre is actually higher than average, but the total price is relatively low for the area.
The energy label is C, which is average for homes in Houtwijk (33.3% of homes have label C). A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not as efficient as A or B labels, but better than D or lower.
One resident notes that public transport is limited: "There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome." The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, so a car or bike is more practical for longer journeys.
