Frequently asked questions
About Volendamlaan 13, 'S-Gravenhage
Was €896 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €896 was significantly below the neighbourhood average of €1,998 for rentals, and also below the median of €2,205. The apartment's 74 m² was smaller than the average of 103 m² in Leyenburg, which partly explained the lower price.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration that indicates the home's energy performance on a scale from A to G, with A being the most efficient. A C label was a middle-of-the-road score, meaning energy costs were likely to be moderate compared to the most efficient homes, but not as low as they could be. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
Residents describe Leyenburg as a quiet, village-like area with good amenities within walking distance. There are cosy shopping centres and good public transport links. A Jumbo supermarket is just 86 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 146 metres off, so daily groceries are very convenient. Parking is a common complaint, so if you have a car, that's something to consider.
What are the schools like near this apartment?
The nearest primary school, WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, is about 4.1 kilometres away, which is a bit of a distance. There are several other primary schools within five kilometres, including Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Pieter van der Plas School and WSKO r.k. basisschool Verburch-hof. Secondary education is closer, at about 1.8 kilometres. For families with school-age children, the commute to school may be a factor.
