Cosy but a bit seedy in the evening: how residents experience Prinsenhof
Residents give Prinsenhof a 7.4 out of 10 on Buurtje.nl. That score does not tell the whole story, but the sub-scores do. What stands out: sense of community, green spaces, education and the level of facilities all score 8.0. Resident Sophie Stigter sums it up succinctly with the word "cosy", but honestly adds that it can feel "a bit seedy" in the evening. This is reflected in the safety score of 6.0, the lowest of all categories. Cleanliness also scores a modest 6.0. Prinsenhof is not a neighbourhood that blows you away with architectural highlights or spotless streets, but it is a place where neighbours know each other.
The neighbourhood roughly consists of two parts. In Prinsenhof Hoog you will mainly find porch flats and gallery apartments from the 1970s and 1980s, often owned by housing associations. The lower-lying part of Prinsenhof has a similar character but slightly more single-family homes. Accessibility scores 7.0: tram stops for lines 3 and 4 towards Den Haag Centraal are within walking distance, and by car you can quickly reach the A4 via the Vlietbruggen. Shopping centre Leidsenhage (now Westfield Mall of the Netherlands) is within cycling distance, and for daily groceries there are local supermarkets in the immediate vicinity. Schools in the area score well according to residents (8.0), which fits the relatively large number of families with children: more than 1,040 residents are under fifteen years old.

You can never walk through the park normally without being spoken to or almost being hit by a fatbike on the pavement. A group is taking over the park and apparently no one can do anything about it. Not a safe neighbourhood for my children
