I experience the Noordpolderbuurt as a quiet, pleasant neighbourhood where you can really feel at home. Almost everyone has known each other for years, creating a warm and close community. The neighbourhood feels safe, both during the day and in the evening, and there is a relaxed atmosphere. The homes are generally of good quality and well-maintained. The streets are clean and hygienic, which further enhances living comfort. There is also plenty of greenery in the area; the nature and parks make it a nice place to walk or unwind. In addition, there are sufficient amenities in the neighbourhood, making daily life easy and pleasant. Whether it's shops, schools, or other important facilities: everything is easily accessible. The accessibility of the neighbourhood is excellent, whether by public transport, car, or bike. In short: the Noordpolderbuurt is for me a quiet, safe, and social neighbourhood where people enjoy living and where the atmosphere feels positive and familiar.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood with plenty of parks and other amenities. However, there are quite a few problems in the area, such as nuisance and dangerous people who harass you. Additionally, it's often dirty because rubbish isn't collected often enough. Despite all this, I'm quite satisfied with living in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is very cosy and you feel at home here. Good communication with neighbours. Lots of shops in the area. Easy to travel by public transport. Close to the city centre, which is of course very nice. There is also a forest nearby where you can explore nature. Fun activities for children, like going to the petting zoo. There are also community centres where you can meet people and do fun activities. In short, this is where you want to live.

Auto-translated to English by AIIf something ever goes wrong, it's not immediately 'yes police', but we usually talk it out among ourselves. We trust each other that someone won't immediately be reported if, for example, they make noise. Usually we just address the neighbour directly instead of making a big deal out of it.
Auto-translated to English by AII’ve lived in Laak as an international student for over a year now and I had great experiences with the people and amenities available. Everyone speaks English and I have experienced no harassment about not being Dutch.

About Minckelersstraat 20, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €275,000 is slightly below the average sale price in the Noordpolderbuurt (€290,397) and just under the median of €279,999. Given the 89 m² floor area, that works out to about €3,090 per m², which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,998 per m². So it's priced keenly compared to other homes in the area.
The energy label is F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1930s building.
Residents give mixed reviews. One says the neighbourhood feels safe both day and night, with a relaxed atmosphere. Another mentions problems with nuisance and harassment, and that rubbish isn't collected often enough. Overall, the average score of 8.17 suggests most residents are satisfied, but it's worth being aware of these issues.
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. The high address density (5,606 per km²) indicates a very urban area with frequent public transport.
Yes, a park or public garden is just 0.3 km away, so a five-minute walk. Residents mention plenty of greenery and parks in the area, making it a nice place to walk or unwind. There's also a forest nearby for nature lovers.
In the past year, sold homes in the Noordpolderbuurt spent an average of 54 days on the market. That's a reasonable timeframe, suggesting a balanced market where homes don't fly off the shelf but also don't linger for months.
