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 35, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €285,000 is 17% below the average asking price in Leyenburg (€344,315) and also below the median of €325,000. Given the 66 m² floor area, that works out to about €4,318 per m², which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,081 per m². So the price is keen relative to other listings, but the per-m² cost is in line with the area.
The home has energy label D. That means it is not particularly energy-efficient; you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with label A or B. In Leyenburg, about 46% of homes have label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
Parking is a known issue in Leyenburg. Residents mention high parking pressure, and one review specifically notes that parking is a big problem. If you have a car, you may need to factor in the time and cost of finding a spot.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it is not within walking distance.
The nearest primary school is about 600 m away (a ten-minute walk), and there are several others within a couple of streets. A child daycare centre is just around the corner at 400 m. Secondary schools are a bit further, at 1.8 km.
The total number of recorded crimes in Leyenburg is 986, but without context per capita or type, it is hard to judge. Residents' reviews are mixed: some mention warning each other about thieves or vagrants, while others find it a cosy area. Overall, the neighbourhood scores 7.44 out of 10 from eight reviews.
