The flat I live in is nice to live in, but towards the Apeldoornselaan/Dierenselaan it is really going downhill. Next to and behind the flat, fires have been set several times, which certainly gives the older residents an unpleasant feeling. Zuiderpark is relatively close, but many young people hang out there, so people don't like to go there anymore. Towards the Leyenburg district it's fine, so the walks go that way and the shopping is done there. All in all, it's reasonably pleasant to live, although there are some points of concern due to loitering youths. Hopefully something can be done about that; cameras are not allowed due to privacy, but unfortunately that means the youths who set fires are still out of sight. The flat is cleaned by a cleaning company, but it's a shame that some residents don't take hygiene so seriously. Accessibility is good with trams 4 and 6 right outside the door. Shopping centre within walking distance, so that's fine too. So if it doesn't get any worse, it's a good place to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe would like to contribute to improvements. Crime Our biggest concern is crime. My husband's work van has been broken into three times. Once nothing was taken, but the other two times thousands of euros worth of tools were stolen. Additionally, our cargo bike was stolen and the screen of our electric bike was taken. For a young family, this has a huge impact. Safety We live above the café/nightclub where an explosive device was placed on the windows a few weeks ago. This was a shocking event that further heightened our feelings of insecurity in the neighbourhood. Other problems in the neighbourhood We also experience a lot of nuisance from dog poop. It's almost a miracle if we or our children don't step in a pile when getting into the car. The neglected boats along the quay are also a problem. They seem to attract homeless people, and I often hear suspicious noises coming from the boats when I have to get something from the car in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's safe but quite far from the city. Public transport is always slow and breaks down. Besides, there's no nature and my neighbourhood is extremely noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is busy. Also at night. Many foreigners and very noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is a mix of different cultures, so far we feel very much at home here, we keep an eye on each other and we enjoy living on our street. The only downside is really the parking situation, an absolute nightmare

About Loosduinsekade 445, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €259,500 is 18% below the neighbourhood average of €316,143, which suggests it is priced keenly. However, the home has an energy label D and was built in 1926, so heating costs may be higher than in a modern home. The average price per m² in Rustenburg is €4,376, while this apartment works out at about €4,398 per m², very close to the norm.
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war home. It means the property is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with label A or B. In the neighbourhood, 58.3% of homes have label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
Public transport is good: trams 4 and 6 stop right outside the door, providing connections across Den Haag. The nearest train station is 3.4 km away, so for longer journeys you may need a tram or bus to reach the station. The neighbourhood is very urban, with a high address density, so many amenities are within walking distance.
Residents have mixed feelings about safety. One review mentions break-ins and a stolen cargo bike, and another notes fires set by loitering youths. However, a third resident says it's safe but noisy. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 252, which is relatively high for an area of this size. It's worth being aware of these concerns.
4 km from the nearest train station. The area is well connected by tram, so reaching the centre is straightforward. The Zuiderpark is 0.7 km away for green space.
There are several primary schools within walking distance, including WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla (0.5 km) and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Pieter van der Plas School (0.5 km). Secondary education is 1.3 km away. The area has a good selection of schools for young families.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The property is an apartment, so outdoor space is likely limited to a balcony if present, but this is not stated. The Zuiderpark is 0.7 km away for outdoor recreation.
