Frequently asked questions
About Schalk Burgerstraat 89, 'S-Gravenhage
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €259,500 is 4% above the WOZ value of €250,000, which was set on 1 January 2025.

What is the foundation risk in this area?

This is based on the fact that the building was constructed before 1970, specifically in 1906, and the entire postcode area falls within a KCAF attention zone.

People keep to themselves, little to no nuisance, only parking is minimal.

Auto-translated to English by AIVery good and working on the change of the neighbourhood and also doing activities in the neighbourhood house.
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up in Transvaal from a young age, so I haven't really been able to experience other neighbourhoods, but it's a chill place where everything you need is, besides being behind the centre of The Hague.
Auto-translated to English by AITransvaal is a working-class neighbourhood, which can be very cosy but also very busy. Often arguments due to Eastern Europeans and a lot of rubbish on the street and around the container. Perhaps the warning could also be in Turkish/Bulgarian. The municipality does work very hard to keep it clean. Many amenities in the form of shops with foreign products, the Haagse Markt, etc. Enough schools. There could be more green spaces. Many elderly people live completely alone in a 5/6-room house, while on the other hand entire families have to make do with 1/2 rooms. These elderly people should really be offered a better deal: a smaller home, but without suddenly having to pay much more rent. Plenty of play areas, both for little ones and older children (football cages, for example). The community centre also offers many opportunities for both children and adults. Various activities to keep the youth off the streets. In short, I enjoy living here very much.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 20 years, also went to primary school here. It's a busy neighbourhood where a lot happens, there are many shops, but actually not much to do.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood there are several playgrounds, and many tram and bus stops. So it is easy to reach and there is the possibility to move around quickly if you want to go somewhere and you don't have a front garden. There are also many small shops and supermarkets in the area. Dentists, GPs, pharmacies, shops, supermarkets etc. are all in the neighbourhood (within walking distance). The same goes for primary schools, there are many different primary schools in the area. I am largely satisfied with the community. Especially those on my street and around it. Unfortunately, there is occasionally some litter around the waste containers in the neighbourhood. Overall, I am satisfied with my neighbourhood.
