Living in Laakkwartier-Oost: lively, affordable and multicultural

Laakkwartier-Oost is a busy, diverse neighbourhood with a distinctly urban character. You notice it as soon as you walk into Hobbemastraat or Thomsonlaan: Turkish bakeries, Surinamese toko shops, an Albert Heijn, kebab shops and barbers alternate. It's not a neighbourhood where you seek peace and quiet, but it is a place where everything is within walking distance. Resident Joshua sums it up well: "The neighbourhood is active but not unsafe, there are shops and amenities within walking distance so you can easily buy a kebab and do your shopping at Albert Heijn." The homes mostly date from the 1920s to the 1950s, with many porch flats of three to four storeys. You'll also find post-war buildings along Vaillantlaan and towards the Laakkanaal.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores remarkably high among residents: a 9.3 out of 10. That's not surprising, as tram lines 2, 3, 4 and 6 stop in or near the neighbourhood, and The Hague Hollands Spoor station is a few minutes' bike ride away. Within ten minutes you're at The Hague Central Station or on the A12 towards Utrecht. Zuiderpark, one of the largest city parks in The Hague, is within cycling distance and offers space for running, sports and picnicking. In the neighbourhood itself, green space is more limited, which explains the partial score of 6.7 for green amenities.

There are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including public and Islamic schools. For secondary education, there are options in adjacent districts. Sports club SV HDV and the nearby De Blinkerd swimming pool are popular with residents. The Haagse Markt, one of the largest open-air markets in Europe, is a stone's throw away and attracts thousands of visitors daily.

To be fair, the neighbourhood is not suitable for everyone. Resident Dionne gives the neighbourhood a 4.9 and writes about nuisance from overcrowding and litter on the streets. The cleanliness score of 6.0 is the lowest partial score. At the same time, Aivher (9.6) writes: "I've lived here for 3 years and nothing strange has ever happened here, really a quiet neighbourhood. Neighbours are really sweet and talk to each other normally." So the experience varies per street and per block. On the neighbourhood page of Laakkwartier-Oost you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores to form your own picture. Compared to neighbouring areas such as Spoorwijk and Laakkwartier-West, the price level is similar, but Laakkwartier-Oost has slightly more amenities in the immediate vicinity.
