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.

About Soestdijksekade 731, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €359,500 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €344,315 and the median of €325,000. However, this apartment is 130 m², which is 51% larger than the typical 86 m² in Leyenburg. So per square metre, the price of €2,765 is actually below the neighbourhood average of €4,081 per m². That makes it a reasonable deal for the space.
The energy label is E. That means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In Leyenburg, about 46% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly common for a 1936 build.
Parking is a known issue in the neighbourhood. Residents mention it in reviews: "Parking is a big problem" and "Parking pressure is high." If you have a car, you'll want to check the permit system and availability on the street.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. But the area has good bus and tram connections, as residents note.
Leyenburg has a mix of households: about 29% are families with children, and 24% are couples without kids. There are several primary schools within a short walk, and the Zuiderpark is close by for outdoor play. Residents describe it as a cosy, multicultural area where neighbours know each other.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (553 m), and Lidl and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. There are also restaurants and a GP practice nearby. The Zuiderpark is a five-minute walk, and a library is about 1.8 km away.
The apartment was built in 1936. Residents note that older houses in the area "could use some maintenance." The energy label E suggests the insulation and heating system may be dated. You'll want to budget for potential upgrades.
