Good · 3 residents
The neighbourhood is active but not unsafe; there are shops and amenities within walking distance, so you can easily buy a döner and do your shopping at Albert Heijn. There are a few homeless people here who are a bit chaotic, but if you mind your own business, nothing happens.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery often nuisance from people (foreign) who share houses here with too many people. And leave rubbish everywhere on the street. And sometimes I don't feel safe on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 3 years and nothing weird has ever happened here, really a quiet neighbourhood. Neighbours are really kind and talk to each other normally.

Residents have mixed views. One says it is "active but not unsafe" and that nothing happens if you mind your own business. Another has felt unsafe at times due to nuisance from overcrowded houses and litter. A third has lived there for three years without any incidents, calling it quiet with kind neighbours. The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 580, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting to other parts of Den Haag or further afield.
Energy label D is average for an older building (built 1934). It means the home is not as efficient as modern standards, so heating costs will be higher than for a label A or B home. In the neighbourhood, 48.5% of homes have label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. You can expect moderate energy bills, but no exact amount is available from the listing.
