Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible

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 59, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €365,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €451,726. However, the apartment is also 35% smaller than the average home in the area (61 m² vs 94 m²). So the price per square metre works out at about €5,984, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,136 per m². That makes it a relatively expensive per-square-metre option, but the total price is still low for the area.
The energy label is C. That's a middling score, the home is reasonably efficient but not as good as a modern A or B label. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme. In the neighbourhood, about 29% of homes have an A or A+ label, while 40% have a D label or worse, so this home sits in the middle of the pack.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, which is a bit of a distance, about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus trip.
