Laakkwartier-Oost, Den Haag

Laakkwartier-Oost is a dense, urban area with over 11,500 residents and a very high address density. Reviews are mixed: one resident calls it "Active but good", noting shops and amenities within walking distance, while another mentions "Very often nuisance from people (foreign) who share houses here with too many people. And leave rubbish everywhere on the street." A third says "I've been living here for 3 years and nothing weird has ever happened here, really a quiet neighbourhood." The area has many single-person households and a young population, with most homes built before 1945. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Laakkwartier-Oost.

The neighbourhood is active but not unsafe; there are shops and amenities within walking distance, so you can easily buy a döner and do your shopping at Albert Heijn. There are a few homeless people here who are a bit chaotic, but if you mind your own business, nothing happens.

About Zacharias Jansenstraat 15, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €285,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €302,964 and the median of €292,000. Given the 87 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €3,276, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €3,939 per m². So it is priced keenly compared to other homes in Laakkwartier-Oost.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating costs. Most homes in the neighbourhood (48.5%) have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment, but it is something to factor into your budget.
Residents have mixed views. One says it is "active but not unsafe" and that nothing happens if you mind your own business. Another feels unsafe at times due to nuisance from overcrowded houses and rubbish. A third says it is "really a quiet neighbourhood" with kind neighbours. The total number of crimes reported in the area is 580, but without context it is hard to compare.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (332 m), and Ekoplaza and Aldi are also within a five-minute walk. A restaurant is just 300 m away, and a park or garden is 200 m. The nearest train station is 1.6 km, about a twenty-minute walk.
The apartment was built in 1929, so it is nearly a century old. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you would need to inspect the condition yourself. The energy label G suggests the original windows and insulation may not have been upgraded.
Laakkwartier-Oost has many single-person households (3,205 out of 6,195 households) and a young population, with the largest age group being 25 to 45 years old. Owner-occupied homes make up 42% of the housing stock, so it is a mix of owners and renters.
