Living in Rond de Energiecentrale, The Hague
Rond de Energiecentrale owes its name to the former power station on De Constant Rebecqueplein, now a striking landmark in the neighbourhood. The area has an urban, mixed character: you will find pre-war upper-floor apartments along the Weimarstraat and Laan van Meerdervoort, interspersed with post-war porch flats and some newer apartment complexes towards the Loosduinseweg. The streetscape is varied, sometimes a bit messy, but precisely for that reason lively. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old, and more than half of households are single-person. This gives the neighbourhood a young, independent character.

The Weimarstraat is the neighbourhood's shopping street and forms the daily shopping heart.

Put more green in our neighbourhood and also maintain it
Auto-translated to English by AIGood morning everyone in The Hague, I am Johnvdham, I live in the Joseph Ledelstraat, across from my house is Hobbit, often at night the windows are left ajar, burglars don't sleep at night, please more surveillance in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII am johnvdham and live in my own home on the street where I really enjoy myself
Auto-translated to English by AII love all the nature and the park with children. It's soothing and it makes you cheerful. It's quiet, but in 5 minutes you can cycle to all the hustle and bustle you want. My personal neighbours sometimes even organise barbecues with the neighbours. All in all, it's a quiet neighbourhood with lots of nature and it's close to get everywhere from this neighbourhood. Yet my address is sometimes hard for people to find, which is why accessibility is a bit difficult. Sometimes people describe where we are and we explain to them how to get to our house from there. So it's quiet, safe with even a children's park, very green, there aren't many amenities in the neighbourhood itself, but everything is very close, hygienic with responsible residents and a sense of community (at least with my neighbours).
Auto-translated to English by AII always go to the Appie with my husband, it makes me happy, it's safe.
Auto-translated to English by AIPeople here love cosiness and there is also a park to play in, quite big, there are 2-3 schools in the neighbourhood and a secondary school, very nice neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a quiet area with a park for children and lots of greenery. You can enjoy it in peace.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a pleasant neighbourhood to live in, well connected by public transport and to the shopping centre/city. But in terms of safety, the neighbourhood is unsafe and there are often strange characters around, which makes the neighbourhood unsafe. I'd rather not walk there in the evenings.
