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.

About Soesterbergstraat 148, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it's right at the median price for Leyenburg, where the average sold price is €326,604. At €3,066 per m², it's below the neighbourhood average of €4,081 per m², partly because of the poor energy label. So it's priced in line with the market.
Label G is the least efficient rating, so you can expect high heating costs. The home was built in 1940 and likely lacks modern insulation. In Leyenburg, 45.9% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but it's worth budgeting for energy expenses.
Leyenburg is a cosy, multicultural area with a village feel. Residents appreciate the community spirit and the nearby Zuiderpark. Shopping is easy with Albert Heijn, Lidl and Jumbo within a few minutes' walk. Parking is a known issue, so if you have a car, you'll need to factor that in.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd likely need a bus or bike to reach it.
The closest primary school, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is about 3.9 km away, a bit of a distance. There are several other primary schools within 5 km, and secondary education is 1.8 km away. It's not a neighbourhood with schools on your doorstep.
At 106 m², it's above the average sold size of 86 m² in Leyenburg, so it offers generous space. The layout isn't specified, but with that floor area, it could comfortably accommodate a couple or a small family.
