Primary schools within walking distance include De Parachute (5.1 km) and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla (5.6 km), though these are further than typical neighbourhood schools. Secondary education is 0.6 km away on average.
The energy label is E, which means heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. The building dates from 1916, so insulation is likely limited. You should expect higher energy bills compared to a more efficient property.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, which is a longer distance than many Hague neighbourhoods. You would need a bus, bike, or car to reach it.

Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible
Auto-translated to English by AIit smells very bad
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.
