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 372, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 35% below the average asking price in Leyenburg (€344,315) and is the lowest among the 119 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the apartment is also smaller than average (56 m² versus 86 m²). Given the compact size and the older building (1950), the price reflects the market position accurately.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In Leyenburg, 32% of homes have label C, while 45.9% have a lower rating (D or below). A C label means moderate energy efficiency; you can expect reasonable heating costs but not the lowest bills.
Leyenburg is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a village-like atmosphere. Residents appreciate the cosy shopping centres and good public transport. Parking is a known issue, as several reviews mention. The Zuiderpark is close by for recreation. The area is multicultural and has a strong community spirit.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, the neighbourhood has good bus and tram connections, as noted by residents. The high address density (5,977 addresses per km²) indicates a well-connected urban area.
At 56 m², this apartment is 35% smaller than the average home for sale in Leyenburg (86 m²). It is a compact living space, suitable for a single person or a couple. The building dates from 1950, typical for the neighbourhood where 41.1% of homes were built between 1945 and 1970.
The listing does not mention any specific issues. The building is from 1950, so it may have older features. The energy label C suggests reasonable insulation. As with any older home, it is worth checking the maintenance history, but the agent has not flagged any problems.
