Another notes: "Older houses that could use some maintenance. Parking pressure is high." The neighbourhood is densely populated, with many single-person households and a mix of ages. It's a lively, urban pocket where community spirit thrives despite the parking headaches. Leyenburg is a place where you'll quickly feel part of the fabric.
Your morning bread run is a five-minute walk to Jumbo or Albert Heijn, both just around the corner. For the kids, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla is a ten-minute walk away, and there's a Protestant Christian school a bit further. The Zuiderpark is a couple of streets away, perfect for a weekend stroll. Municipality Den Haag keeps the city running smoothly, with good public transport links and plenty of local shops.

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 Leyweg 248, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it's right on the neighbourhood median of €325,000. The average price per m² in Leyenburg is €4,081, and this flat works out at €4,167 per m², slightly above average, but reasonable for a 78 m² apartment with an energy label D. Homes here sell in about 40 days on average, so there's no rush.
Leyenburg is a dense, multicultural area with a village-like atmosphere. Residents appreciate the community spirit and convenience, but parking is a known issue. The Zuiderpark is nearby, and there are several supermarkets within a five-minute walk. It's a lively, urban neighbourhood with a mix of ages and household types.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so you'll need a bike or bus for a direct connection. The area is well served by trams and buses, though specific lines aren't listed in the data.
Energy label D is average for a home from 1956. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy bills, but improvements like double glazing or better insulation could bring it up to a higher label.
Yes, there are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, including WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and a Protestant Christian school. Secondary schools are about 1.8 km away, so a bike ride or short bus trip is needed.
There are currently 119 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €225,000 to €725,000. The average price is €344,315, so this apartment is at the lower end of the market.
