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 AIOlder houses that could use some maintenance. Parking pressure is high. Cosy shopping centres, good public transport facilities.
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 506, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €390,000, which is above the neighbourhood median of €325,000 and the average of €344,315. However, this apartment is 123 m², while the average in the area is 86 m². The price per m² works out to about €3,170, which is below the neighbourhood average of €4,081 per m². So you are paying more overall but getting significantly more space for your money.
The energy label is C. This is a reasonable rating, meaning the home is fairly energy-efficient but not top-tier. In the neighbourhood, 32% of homes have label C, while 45.9% have a lower rating (D or worse). You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
Leyenburg has a mix of households: about 29% have children, 24% are couples without children, and 55% are single-person households. Residents describe it as a cosy, multicultural area with a village feel. There are several primary schools nearby, and the Zuiderpark is close for outdoor activities. Parking can be a challenge, as noted in reviews.
You have Jumbo and Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk, and Lidl a couple of streets away. For dining, restaurants are about 500 m away. A GP practice is 700 m, and a pharmacy is likely nearby. The Zuiderpark is just 400 m away for recreation.
The neighbourhood is well served by public transport, with a train station 3.7 km away. The area is very urban, with a high density of addresses, so connections are good.
Parking is a known issue in Leyenburg. One resident says: "Parking is a big problem." Another mentions "parking pressure is high." If you have a car, you may need to rely on street parking, which can be competitive. It is worth checking the local permit system.
The building was constructed in 1952, so it is over 70 years old. Residents note that older houses in the area "could use some maintenance." The energy label C suggests some modernisation, but you should expect typical wear and tear for a property of this age.
