Village-like with parking problems

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.

Cosy old neighbourhood

Older houses that could use some maintenance. Parking pressure is high. Cosy shopping centres, good public transport facilities.

A nice multicultural neighbourhood, a bit of village in a city.

Of 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.

I 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.

The cleanest and quietest neighbourhood

I 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.

Good accessible neighbourhood

Leyenburg is a neighbourhood with plenty of shops and good public transport connections to, for example, the beach and the city. However, there are many slumlords where students live and there are not enough racks for cyclists. Also, dog poo is not cleaned up.
