Living in Transvaalkwartier-Zuid, The Hague
Transvaalkwartier-Zuid is part of the Transvaalkwartier district, one of the older working-class neighbourhoods of The Hague. The neighbourhood has a distinctly urban character: busy, diverse and lively, but also sometimes messy. The housing stock largely consists of pre-war and early post-war porch flats and terraced houses, with narrow streets and few private gardens. This gives the neighbourhood a compact, densely built-up appearance that appeals to some renters and less to others.
The average income is €26,400 per year, lower than The Hague average of €38,600, reflecting the socio-economic composition of the neighbourhood. The labour participation rate is 54%. The largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (over 2,270 people), and there are relatively many single-person households (1,495). This makes it a neighbourhood popular with young workers and starters, but also with people looking for an affordable rental home in the city.

Auto-translated to English by AITransvaal is a working-class neighbourhood, which can be very cosy but also very busy. Often arguments due to Eastern Europeans and a lot of rubbish on the street and around the container. Perhaps the warning could also be in Turkish/Bulgarian. The municipality does work very hard to keep it clean. Many amenities in the form of shops with foreign products, the Haagse Markt, etc. Enough schools. There could be more green spaces. Many elderly people live completely alone in a 5/6-room house, while on the other hand entire families have to make do with 1/2 rooms. These elderly people should really be offered a better deal: a smaller home, but without suddenly having to pay much more rent. Plenty of play areas, both for little ones and older children (football cages, for example). The community centre also offers many opportunities for both children and adults. Various activities to keep the youth off the streets. In short, I enjoy living here very much.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood there are several playgrounds, and many tram and bus stops. So it is easy to reach and there is the possibility to move around quickly if you want to go somewhere and you don't have a front garden. There are also many small shops and supermarkets in the area. Dentists, GPs, pharmacies, shops, supermarkets etc. are all in the neighbourhood (within walking distance). The same goes for primary schools, there are many different primary schools in the area. I am largely satisfied with the community. Especially those on my street and around it. Unfortunately, there is occasionally some litter around the waste containers in the neighbourhood. Overall, I am satisfied with my neighbourhood.
