Safe neighbourhood with lots of nature, just a bit lacking in amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood, I've lived here since birth. You're at the beach in a few minutes and in the city centre in half an hour. Quiet area, lots of green, good community. You know the whole street and neighbours regularly come by for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. It's a clean neighbourhood without litter lying around, many detached and semi-detached houses. Helderingschool and RKBS De Parkiet are less than 5 minutes apart. There is also room for special education. There is little car traffic, many people cycle in the neighbourhood. This gives a lot of peace.
Auto-translated to English by AIDe Vogelwijk in The Hague is really a nice place! It's so quiet and green, perfect for a relaxing walk. You can stroll through the Vogelwijkpark, enjoy nature, and maybe even spot some local animals. It just feels very pleasant to be there, especially when the sun is shining!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy parents and I have been living in De Vogelwijk for 5 years now and we like it. Apart from the relatively high average age, quite a lot still happens. There are many schools in the neighbourhood and plenty of space for children to play outside. There are no high-rise buildings, so it's very light everywhere. The location is great because the sea is a 10-minute walk away and the Jumbo, hairdresser, baker and Kruidvat are even closer. It's usually very quiet in the evenings, except when there's been a party at the Westwood, but even that is minimal. Overall, I think De Vogelwijk is a nice and beautiful neighbourhood.

About Spreeuwenlaan 21, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €675,000 is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €1,117,333, which makes it a keen price for a 133 m² apartment in Vogelwijk. However, the energy label E means higher energy costs, and the home dates from 1923, so maintenance may be a factor. The median price in the area is €1,167,500, so this listing is at the lower end of the market.
