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 Veenendaalkade 438, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it's priced 23% below the average asking price in Leyenburg (€344,315), and also below the median of €325,000. The floor area of 59 m² is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 86 m², which partly explains the lower price. Given the energy label C and 1952 build, it's a competitive listing for a compact apartment.
Leyenburg is a multicultural, village-like area within the city. Residents appreciate the cosy atmosphere and community spirit, with a neighbourhood app for sharing concerns. Parking is a known issue, and some older homes need maintenance. It's close to Zuiderpark and has good public transport links.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus or bike to reach it.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a 1950s apartment. It means reasonable energy efficiency, not as costly as a G label, but not as cheap to run as an A label. About 32% of homes in the neighbourhood have label C, while 46% have D or lower.
Yes, residents frequently mention high parking pressure. The neighbourhood has many older homes with limited off-street parking, so finding a spot can be challenging. If you have a car, you may need to rely on street parking or consider a permit.
