Leyenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 82 m² apartment on Maartensdijklaan sits in a lively, multicultural part of Den Haag. Built in 1939, it has an E energy label, so heating costs are something to budget for. At €299,500, the asking price is below the neighbourhood average of €344,315, which makes it a keen entry point into the market, especially compared to other apartments in Den Haag.
Leyenburg feels like a small community, according to residents. One says: "A nice multicultural neighbourhood, a bit of village in a city." Another describes it as a "cosy old neighbourhood" with older houses that could use some maintenance. Parking is a recurring theme, "a big problem" according to one review. The area is densely built (nearly 6,000 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with many single-person households. The municipality Den Haag covers a wide range of neighbourhoods, but Leyenburg stands out for its mix of ages and cultures.
For groceries, a Lidl is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn and Jumbo are a five-minute walk away. Primary schools are a bit further, the nearest, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is about a ten-minute walk. The Zuiderpark is on your doorstep, perfect for a stroll. Public transport is good, with a train station 3.7 km away.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including LaCle Makelaars, Funda, Pararius and Vastgoed Nederland.

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 AIOlder houses that could use some maintenance. Parking pressure is high. Cosy shopping centres, good public transport facilities.
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.
