Rustenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1929 apartment on the Soestdijksekade sits in a lively part of Den Haag. With 82 m² and an energy label B, it's a solid home that feels spacious. The asking price of €425,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Den Haag, but the size and location explain the premium.
The neighbourhood Rustenburg gets mixed reviews from residents. One says: "The flat I live in is nice to live in, but towards the Apeldoornselaan/Dierenselaan it is really going downhill." Another mentions: "Our biggest concern is crime. My husband's work van has been broken into three times." A third resident calls it "fine" but notes it's "quite far from the city" and noisy. The neighbourhood Rustenburg is densely built with mostly pre-war housing, and the streets are busy.
For daily shopping, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Jumbo and Lidl are a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further out: the nearest primary school is a ten-minute walk. The Zuiderpark is a five-minute walk, though some residents avoid it due to loitering youths. The municipality Den Haag provides good public transport with trams right outside.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van Herk Makelaars and also appears on Funda.

The flat I live in is nice to live in, but towards the Apeldoornselaan/Dierenselaan it is really going downhill. Next to and behind the flat, fires have been set several times, which certainly gives the older residents an unpleasant feeling. Zuiderpark is relatively close, but many young people hang out there, so people don't like to go there anymore. Towards the Leyenburg district it's fine, so the walks go that way and the shopping is done there. All in all, it's reasonably pleasant to live, although there are some points of concern due to loitering youths. Hopefully something can be done about that; cameras are not allowed due to privacy, but unfortunately that means the youths who set fires are still out of sight. The flat is cleaned by a cleaning company, but it's a shame that some residents don't take hygiene so seriously. Accessibility is good with trams 4 and 6 right outside the door. Shopping centre within walking distance, so that's fine too. So if it doesn't get any worse, it's a good place to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe would like to contribute to improvements. Crime Our biggest concern is crime. My husband's work van has been broken into three times. Once nothing was taken, but the other two times thousands of euros worth of tools were stolen. Additionally, our cargo bike was stolen and the screen of our electric bike was taken. For a young family, this has a huge impact. Safety We live above the café/nightclub where an explosive device was placed on the windows a few weeks ago. This was a shocking event that further heightened our feelings of insecurity in the neighbourhood. Other problems in the neighbourhood We also experience a lot of nuisance from dog poop. It's almost a miracle if we or our children don't step in a pile when getting into the car. The neglected boats along the quay are also a problem. They seem to attract homeless people, and I often hear suspicious noises coming from the boats when I have to get something from the car in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's safe but quite far from the city. Public transport is always slow and breaks down. Besides, there's no nature and my neighbourhood is extremely noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is busy. Also at night. Many foreigners and very noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is a mix of different cultures, so far we feel very much at home here, we keep an eye on each other and we enjoy living on our street. The only downside is really the parking situation, an absolute nightmare

About Soestdijksekade 560, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 34% above the neighbourhood average of €316,143, but this apartment is larger (82 m²) than the typical 73 m² in Rustenburg. The price per m² works out to about €5,183, which is above the neighbourhood average of €4,376. Given the good energy label and size, the price is on the high side but reflects the home's qualities.
The energy label is B, which is efficient for a home built in 1929. In Rustenburg, only 8.3% of homes have label B, and most (58.3%) have label D or lower. So this apartment is better insulated than many in the area, meaning lower heating costs.
