A 1930s flat with a view
This apartment sits in Leyenburg, a pre-war neighbourhood in Den Haag where the streets have a settled, village-like feel. Residents describe it as a quiet area with shops and services within walking distance, though parking is tight and the neighbourhood is showing its age in places. The asking price of €285,000 is keen compared with the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which comes to €335,940. For context, apartments in Den Haag sell across a wide range, so this one sits at the lower end.
