Residents describe Leyenburg as a cosy, old neighbourhood with a village-like atmosphere. One resident says: "A nice multicultural neighbourhood, a bit of village in a city. We know our immediate neighbours and help each other when we can." Another notes: "An old neighbourhood, from the 1940s. It is conveniently close to Zuiderpark though." Parking is a common gripe, "a big problem" according to one review. The area is densely populated (over 17,000 residents) and very urban, with a mix of ages and many single-person households. For more on the area, see Leyenburg.
Your daily errands are a breeze: Jumbo, Albert Heijn and Lidl are all just around the corner, so you can grab bread or groceries in minutes.

The nearest park is a five-minute walk away, and a GP surgery is also close by. The municipality Den Haag provides all the urban amenities you'd expect from a major city.

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.
