Oostbroek-Zuid is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 8,000 residents. It's a multicultural area, as one resident puts it: "Multicultural friendly neighbours." But not everyone is happy: another says, "Very many unsafe situations in my neighbourhood. More police needed." A third review is blunt: "Ghetto", citing homeless people, speeding cars, and litter. Based on three reviews, the average score is 6.96 out of 10. The area has a high proportion of pre-war homes (98%) and a mix of owners and renters. For more, see the neighbourhood Oostbroek-Zuid.
For groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Jumbo and Lidl a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further: the nearest primary, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of parks and restaurants within walking distance, and the train station is 2.7 km away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Dekker Makelaars and also appears on Funda.

Very many unsafe situations in my neighbourhood. More police needed.
Auto-translated to English by AIMany homeless people, and cars that think it's a racetrack. Bikes on the pavement, fatbike misery. Little or none. Respect from people. People should just throw their rubbish in the bins. And people here shouldn't put their rubbish bags by the underground container when it's full.
Auto-translated to English by AII could describe my neighbourhood in one sentence. Multicultural friendly neighbours.

About Velpsestraat 257, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €345,000 is about 11% above the neighbourhood average of €311,000 and 21% above the median of €298,000. Given the 74 m² size, that works out to €4,662 per m², which is higher than the local average of €3,948 per m². So it's on the high side, but the home is in a sought-after pre-war building.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood, 56% of homes here have a label D or lower. An E label means higher energy costs, so you'll want to budget for heating and electricity. The home was built in 1935, so insulation may be limited.
Residents have mixed views. One says there are "very many unsafe situations" and calls for more police. Another mentions "homeless people, and cars that think it's a racetrack." But a third describes it as "multicultural friendly neighbours." The neighbourhood recorded 380 crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for Den Haag.
The area is diverse: about 26% of households have children, 26% are singles, and the average household size is 2.0. Many residents are between 25 and 45 (37%). Reviews mention a multicultural mix, but also frustrations with noise and litter.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride.
The closest primary school is WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla at 4.2 km, which is a bit far for daily walking. Other options include De Parachute and several Protestant Christian schools within 5 km. Secondary schools are about 1.1 km away.
