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.

About Medemblikstraat 256, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €289,500 is below the neighbourhood average of €336,588 and the median of €300,000. Apartments in Leyenburg sell for an average of €332,111, so this home is priced keenly. However, it is smaller than the average (67 m² vs 83 m²), so the price per m² of €4,321 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,088.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a 1951 apartment. It means the property is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. In Leyenburg, about 33% of homes have label C, while 42% have D or lower.
The neighbourhood has good public transport facilities, as residents note. The nearest train station is 3.
Parking is a known issue in Leyenburg. Residents mention it as a big problem, and the high address density (5,977 addresses per km²) means on-street parking can be tight. The home does not include a private parking spot, so you would rely on street parking, which may require a permit.
Leyenburg has a mix of households: about 29% are families with children, and 55% are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area is described as cosy and multicultural. Some residents appreciate the village-like atmosphere, while others note that some homes need maintenance.
Daily shopping is very convenient. Jumbo is 125 m away, Albert Heijn is 140 m, and there are several other supermarkets within a kilometre. A GP practice is 0.7 km away, and a park or green space is 0.4 km away. The neighbourhood has a high density of amenities.
The apartment was built in 1951, which is typical for Leyenburg (46% of homes were built between 1945 and 1970). The building is older, so some maintenance may be needed. The energy label C suggests the insulation and heating are adequate but not modern.
