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 Werkhovenstraat 131, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €375,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €344,315 and the median of €325,000. However, the flat is 85 m², which is close to the average size in Leyenburg. The price per m² works out to about €4,412, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €4,081. So it's on the high side, but not outlandish for a well-sized pre-war apartment.
The energy label is D. This is a common label for pre-war homes and means the property has reasonable insulation but will have higher energy costs than a modern home. In Leyenburg, about 46% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area.
Leyenburg has a mix of households: about 29% are families with children, 24% are couples without children, and 55% are single-person households. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the Zuiderpark is nearby. Residents describe it as a 'cosy old neighbourhood' with a village feel, though parking can be a challenge.
Albert Heijn is 336 metres away, Jumbo is 381 metres, and Lidl is 469 metres, all within a five-minute walk. There's also another Albert Heijn at 980 metres. So daily shopping is very convenient.

Parking is a known issue in Leyenburg. Residents mention it as a big problem, especially in the older streets. The home does not include a parking spot, so you would need to rely on street parking, which can be difficult.
