Leyenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1939 apartment on Maartensdijklaan sits in a leafy part of Leyenburg, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a city district. With 73 m² and an energy label C, it's a solid, manageable home. At €375,000, the price is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €344,315, but that reflects the decent size and pre-war character. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, so this one sits in the middle of the market.
Residents describe Leyenburg as a "cosy old neighbourhood" and "a nice multicultural neighbourhood, a bit of village in a city." One resident says: "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." Another notes: "Older houses that could use some maintenance. Parking pressure is high. Cosy shopping centres, good public transport facilities." The area is densely populated, with many single-person households and a mix of ages. It's a place where people look out for each other, despite the occasional parking headache. Leyenburg is a neighbourhood with character.
For your daily shopping, a Lidl is just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn and Jumbo are a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Pieter van der Plas School. The Zuiderpark is a couple of streets away, perfect for a stroll. Municipality Den Haag offers plenty of urban amenities, but here you get a quieter, more residential feel.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Ralf Harsveld Vastgoed and also appears on Funda, so you can find it through several channels.

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 Maartensdijklaan 25, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €375,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €344,315 and the median of €325,000. However, at €5,137 per m², it's higher than the average €4,081 per m² in Leyenburg. The pre-war character and decent size may justify the premium, but it's on the high side compared to recent sales.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a pre-war home. In Leyenburg, 32% of homes have label C, while 45.9% have a lower rating. Label C means reasonable efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy costs.
Leyenburg is a cosy, multicultural area with a village feel. Residents appreciate the community spirit and the nearby shopping centres. Parking is a known issue, but public transport is good. The Zuiderpark is close by for recreation.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the area has good bus and tram connections, as noted by residents. For longer journeys, you'd likely use a bike or car to reach the station.
The listing does not specify the number of rooms. With 73 m², it could have two or three rooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given it's an apartment, outdoor space is not guaranteed.
Parking is a known problem in Leyenburg, as multiple residents mention. The apartment likely does not include a private parking spot, so you would rely on street parking, which can be challenging.
