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 Volendamlaan 793, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €290,000 is 16% below the average asking price in Leyenburg (€344,315) and also below the median of €325,000. Given the 82 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €3,537, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,081 per m². So it's priced keenly compared to other homes currently on the market in the area.
The energy label is D. This is a common label for homes built in the 1960s. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In Leyenburg, about 46% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
For daily groceries, Jumbo is about 500 metres away, and Albert Heijn is roughly 550 metres away, both within a five-minute walk. There are also other supermarkets like Lidl within about 1.2 km. The area has cosy shopping centres, as residents mention, so you won't have to go far for essentials.
There are several primary schools within walking distance, such as WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla (about 400 metres) and the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Pieter van der Plas School (about 440 metres). For secondary education, the nearest school is about 1.8 km away. The neighbourhood has a good mix of educational options.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance but is reachable by bus or bike. The area has good public transport facilities according to residents, with bus stops likely nearby. The high address density (5,977 addresses per km²) indicates a well-connected urban area.
Parking is a common concern in Leyenburg. Several reviews mention that parking pressure is high and it's a big problem. One resident says the neighbourhood is "village-like with parking problems." If you have a car, you may need to factor in the difficulty of finding a spot.
With 82 m² and a layout typical of a 1960s apartment, it could work for a small family, but the neighbourhood has many single-person households and the average household size is 1.8. The home has no garden mentioned, so outdoor space would be limited. It's best suited for couples or singles.
