Frequently asked questions
About Soestdijksekade 699, 'S-Gravenhage
How does the asking price compare to the WOZ value?
The asking price of €425,000 is 1% above the WOZ value of €420,000, which was determined on 1 January 2025.

What is the layout of this apartment?

What is the energy label and what does it mean for costs?
The energy label is D. This is not the most efficient label, so you can expect moderate energy costs.

Energy costs will depend on your usage and the current energy prices.
What is the foundation risk for this property?
The foundation risk indication for this address is medium. This is based on the fact that the building was constructed before 1970, and the entire postcode area is a KCAF attention area with 100% of buildings from before 1970. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of this specific home. It means there is a potential risk, but it does not confirm any actual issues.

Experiences from Leyenburg
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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 AIOlder houses that could use some maintenance. Parking pressure is high. Cosy shopping centres, good public transport facilities.
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIPros: central, good accessibility, good shopping centre. Cons: little greenery, lots of traffic.
Auto-translated to English by AILeyenburg is a neighbourhood with plenty of shops and good public transport connections to, for example, the beach and the city. However, there are many slumlords where students live and there are not enough racks for cyclists. Also, dog poo is not cleaned up.
