About Soestdijksekade 96, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €269,000, while the WOZ value is €228,000 as of 1 January 2025. This means the asking price is 18% above the WOZ value. The WOZ value is the municipal valuation, not the market value, so the difference is not unusual, but it is a fact to consider.
According to the agent, the apartment has three rooms, including two bedrooms and one bathroom, all on a single floor. The living area is 61 square metres, and the volume is 210 cubic metres. There is also a balcony. The home is heated by a heat pump, which is a modern installation.
The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have lower energy costs compared to less efficient labels. However, the label does not say anything about the structural condition of the building, which was built in 1926.
The property is held under municipal ground lease, with an annual fee of €174.72. There is an option to buy out the ground lease, which could be a consideration for the future. The homeowners' association fee is €50 per month.
According to public data, the noise level from road traffic is 66 dB Lden, which is above the norm. Railway noise is 25 dB Lden and aircraft noise is 20 dB Lden, both below the norm. These are area-level indications, not measurements at the property itself.
The foundation risk indication is medium. This is because the home was built before 1970, specifically in 1926, and the area is a KCAF attention zone. The soil type is sand. This is an area-level indication, not an inspection of the foundation of this specific home.
The risk of pluvial flooding (from heavy rain) is medium. The risk of flooding from rivers or the sea is low, both currently and in 2050. These are area-level indications based on climate models, not a guarantee for this specific property.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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 AIMany homeless people, and cars that think it's a racetrack. Bikes on the pavement, fatbike misery. Little or none. Respect from people. People should just throw their rubbish in the bins. And people here shouldn't put their rubbish bags by the underground container when it's full.
