Leyenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1937 apartment on Soestdijksekade sits in a lively, multicultural part of Den Haag. With 84 m² and energy label C, it's a solid home that needs no immediate fussing. The asking price of €325,000 is exactly the median for the neighbourhood, so it's in line with the market, no bargain, but fair for what you get. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one sits comfortably in the middle.
Residents describe Leyenburg as a 'cosy old neighbourhood' with a village-like atmosphere, though parking is a real headache. One resident says: 'We know our immediate neighbours and help each other when we can. We have a neighbourhood app together where we can share our problems.' Another notes: 'Older houses that could use some maintenance. Parking pressure is high. Cosy shopping centres, good public transport facilities.' The area is densely populated, very strong urbanity, and mostly consists of flats, with many single-person households. Average incomes are modest, and the mix of ages gives it a lived-in feel. Leyenburg is a place where community matters.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Lidl are a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further: the nearest primary, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is a ten-minute walk, and there are several others within a short cycle. The Zuiderpark is on your doorstep for a weekend stroll. The municipality Den Haag keeps the city running, with good public transport links and plenty of restaurants nearby.

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.
