Auto-translated to English by AIQuite noisy neighbourhood because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood. You can live here in larger or smaller homes. It's tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach, for example. Lovely people around you. It's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn. There are also small shops within walking distance. There's a good driving school, Phillipo.
Auto-translated to English by AIA normal neighbourhood, not busy or anything like that. Lots of shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the hygienic condition is concerned, there is much room for improvement. This by making offenders clean up their own mess and imposing much higher fines. This does mean that there should be better monitoring and that the supervisory service should not just drive by. This prevents nuisance from pests and pollution. But it also gives a safer feeling for the entire neighbourhood.

About Weimarstraat 169B, 'S-Gravenhage
The rent is 63% above the neighbourhood average of €1,778, but the apartment is also 47% larger than the average rental (100 m² vs 68 m²). The price per m² works out at about €29, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €27.35. So you're paying a premium for extra space in a central location.
It's a very urban, lively area with a mix of ages. Residents appreciate the proximity to the centre and the beach, but note that some streets can be noisy due to traffic. The neighbourhood has a good range of shops and amenities within walking distance. One review mentions an unpleasant smell, so it's worth visiting at different times.
The Jumbo is just 18 metres away, literally on your doorstep. An Albert Heijn is 157 metres away, and there's another Albert Heijn at 435 metres. For organic options, Ekoplaza is about 641 metres away. Daily shopping couldn't be easier.
The apartment has energy label E. This means it's not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home. The building dates from 1910, so it's likely to have single glazing and less insulation. Factor this into your monthly budget.
The listing does not state whether the apartment is furnished or unfurnished.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike, bus or car to reach it.
The nearest primary school is De Parachute, about a ten-minute walk away. For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege is also within walking distance. There are several other schools within a 5 km radius, including Protestant Christian primary school Groen van Prinsterer and Gymnasium Novum.
