Auto-translated to English by AIQuite noisy neighbourhood because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood. You can live here in larger or smaller homes. It's tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach, for example. Lovely people around you. It's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn. There are also small shops within walking distance. There's a good driving school, Phillipo.
Auto-translated to English by AIA normal neighbourhood, not busy or anything like that. Lots of shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the hygienic condition is concerned, there is much room for improvement. This by making offenders clean up their own mess and imposing much higher fines. This does mean that there should be better monitoring and that the supervisory service should not just drive by. This prevents nuisance from pests and pollution. But it also gives a safer feeling for the entire neighbourhood.

About Valkenboslaan 266, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €710,000 is 59% above the neighbourhood average of €447,510. However, this apartment is 200 m², which is 111% larger than the average of 95 m² in Valkenboskwartier. So the price per m² is actually lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,053 per m². Given the size, the price is in line with the market.
The energy label is D. This means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a property built in 1912.
