Leyenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1950s flat on Leersumstraat 95 is a no-frills home in a lively, multicultural part of the city. With 64 m² of living space and an energy label G, it's a property that needs some TLC, but the price reflects that. At €225,000, it's the cheapest of the 119 homes currently for sale in Leyenburg and sits 35% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €344,315. For context, that's a keen price for anyone looking to get a foothold in Den Haag's apartments in Den Haag market.
Residents describe Leyenburg as a cosy, old neighbourhood with a village-like atmosphere. One resident says: "A nice multicultural neighbourhood, a bit of village in a city. We know our immediate neighbours and help each other when we can." Another notes: "An old neighbourhood, from the 1940s. It is conveniently close to Zuiderpark though." Parking is a recurring gripe, "a big problem" according to one review. The area is densely populated (nearly 6,000 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with many single-person households. It's a place where people look out for each other, with a neighbourhood app to share concerns. Leyenburg has its quirks, but it's clearly a community.
For your morning bread, Lidl is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, though the closest, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is a ten-minute walk. The Zuiderpark is on your doorstep for a weekend stroll. The municipality Den Haag provides good public transport links, with a train station 3.7 km away, a bus or bike ride.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Hooghlanden makelaars.

An old neighbourhood, from the 1940s. Unfortunately, a flat was built on Soesterbergstraat many years ago that doesn't fit in with the area at all. The conversion into bedsits hasn't improved the neighbourhood. Parking is a big problem. It is conveniently close to Zuiderpark though.

Auto-translated to English by AIOf course there are always a few people who don't take putting out the rubbish properly seriously. But overall, our neighbourhood is a nice, cosy area. We know our immediate neighbours and help each other when we can. We have a neighbourhood app together where we can share our problems with each other. And warn each other about thieves or vagrants. I am happy with my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in the FNP and there we spend a lot on keeping it cosy and clean. But outside our little neighbourhood it's an antisocial mess. Household items are just put out on the street. Always banger fireworks. Gatherings, with or without laughing gas, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is the quietest and cleanest in all of The Hague. Everywhere else you find rubbish on the streets, people who can't behave, traffic is a big joke, but in Leyenburg it's completely different. It's clean, quiet, peaceful here, people behave well, there are few traffic jams, and especially no stupid people standing on the bike paths with hazard lights.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood, unfortunately a lot of unpleasant things happen here though.

About Leersumstraat 95, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it's a keen price. At €225,000, this is the cheapest of the 119 homes currently for sale in Leyenburg and 35% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €344,315. However, the flat is smaller than average (64 m² vs 86 m²) and has an energy label G, so the low price reflects the condition and size.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating costs. In Leyenburg, 45.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's something to budget for.
Very convenient. Lidl is 423 metres away, Albert Heijn 447 metres, and Jumbo 506 metres, all within a five-minute walk. There's also an Ekoplaza further out. So you have plenty of options for groceries.
There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Pieter van der Plas School. Secondary schools are about 1.8 km away, so a short bike ride.
Yes, residents consistently mention parking as a big issue. The neighbourhood has high parking pressure, so if you have a car, you may need to factor in the difficulty of finding a spot.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, which is about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The area has good public transport connections.
In the past year, there were 986 total crimes reported in Leyenburg, which has a population of about 17,000. That's a rate of roughly 58 per 1,000 residents, which is above the national average. Residents mention warning each other about thieves or vagrants on the neighbourhood app.
