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 Purmerendstraat 183, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, the rent of €1,400 is 26% below the neighbourhood average of €1,885, so it's on the keen side. The average price per m² in Leyenburg is €20.80, and this apartment works out at about €18.18 per m², which is below that. Given the floor area and energy label C, it represents good value in the current market.
Rental homes in Leyenburg are let in an average of 16 days, which indicates a fast-moving market. With only 13 rental properties currently available in the neighbourhood, demand is relatively high. So if you're interested, it's worth acting promptly.
Leyenburg is a multicultural, village-like neighbourhood within Den Haag. Residents describe it as cosy and friendly, with a strong sense of community. There are good shopping centres and public transport. However, parking pressure is high, and some older houses could use maintenance. The Zuiderpark is nearby for recreation.
Jumbo and Albert Heijn supermarkets are within a few minutes' walk. Several primary schools are within walking distance, including WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla. The Zuiderpark is on your doorstep, and there are restaurants and a library within a short walk. The train station is 3.7 km away.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1968). It means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not as efficient as a modern A-label home, but better than older properties with labels D-G.
Parking is a known issue in Leyenburg, as noted by residents. The neighbourhood has high parking pressure, so finding a spot on the street can be challenging. The listing does not mention a private parking space, so you would rely on street parking.
However, the neighbourhood has good public transport connections, and the train station is 3.7 km away, so the centre is accessible by tram or bus.
