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 Wognumstraat 100, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €265,000 is 23% below the average asking price in Leyenburg (€344,315) and also below the median of €325,000. Given the 66 m² floor area and energy label G, the price is keen compared to other homes in the neighbourhood. However, the low energy label means higher running costs, which you would need to factor into your budget.
Leyenburg is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of pre-war and post-war housing. Residents describe it as multicultural and village-like, with a strong sense of community. Parking is a known issue, and some older homes need maintenance. The area scores 7.44 out of 10 from eight reviews, with highlights including cosy shopping centres and good public transport.
The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a bus, bike or car to reach it.
Albert Heijn is just 157 m away, and Jumbo is 170 m away, both within a couple of minutes' walk. Other options include another Albert Heijn at 827 m, Ekoplaza at 901 m, and Lidl at 941 m.
Two primary schools are within a couple of streets away: WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla (618 pupils) and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Pieter van der Plas School (430 pupils). Both are about 4 km from the home, so a bike or car ride is needed.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor energy efficiency. This means heating and electricity costs are likely to be high. The home was built in 1950, so it may lack modern insulation. In Leyenburg, 45.9% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not uncommon in the area.
