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 491, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €275,000 is about 20% below the average asking price in Leyenburg (€344,315) and also below the median of €325,000. Given the 78 m² floor area, that works out to roughly €3,526 per m², while the neighbourhood average is €4,081 per m². So it's priced on the low side, which may reflect the F energy label and the need for some updating.
An F label is inefficient, so you can expect higher energy bills compared to a more modern home. The neighbourhood has 45.9% of homes with a D label or worse, so it's not unusual for the area. You'll want to budget for heating and possibly consider improvements like insulation or double glazing to bring costs down over time.
Residents consistently mention parking as a major issue. One review says "Parking is a big problem," and another notes "Parking pressure is high." The neighbourhood is densely built with many flats, so street parking is tight. If you have a car, you may need to factor in the cost and hassle of finding a spot.
Leyenburg has a mix of residents: about 2,435 children under 15 and 2,455 households with children. There are several primary schools within walking distance, though the nearest is about 3.6 km away. The area is described as "cosy" and "multicultural" by residents, with a village feel. However, parking and some older housing stock are common complaints.
The closest supermarket is Jumbo at 456 m, just around the corner. Albert Heijn is 476 m away, and Lidl is 653 m. So daily groceries are easily done on foot. There are also several other supermarkets within a couple of kilometres.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance for a quick trip. However, the area is well served by trams and buses given its urban density.
Leyenburg is a lively, urban neighbourhood with a village atmosphere. Residents mention it's "cosy" and "multicultural," but also note issues like parking and some older buildings. The flat is on Veenendaalkade, a street in a residential area, so it's likely reasonably quiet for a city location, but not silent.
