Living in Noordpolderbuurt, The Hague
Noordpolderbuurt is located in the southwest of The Hague, wedged between the Laak canal and the railway lines that give the district its industrial past. It is a densely built, urban neighbourhood with a distinct working-class character. The homes were largely built in the 1950s and 1960s: porch flats, upstairs-downstairs homes and narrow terraced houses dominate the streetscape. The houses are rarely large, but the location makes up for a lot.
Residents describe the neighbourhood as close-knit and surprisingly liveable. Nabila Chaabar writes: "Almost everyone has known each other for years, creating a warm and close community. The neighbourhood feels safe, both during the day and in the evening, and there is a relaxed atmosphere." This picture is confirmed by the resident score of 8.2 out of 10, with community (8.3) and safety (8.5) scoring highly. Yet the picture is not entirely rosy: Eva writes that the neighbourhood "has a bad reputation", and mentions nuisance and waste problems as specific annoyances. Beauty scores the lowest of all categories at 7.0, which matches that feeling.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood scores remarkably well: 9.2. That is not without reason. Supermarkets are within walking distance, there are several primary schools in and around the neighbourhood, and the range of shops along Parallelweg and towards Laakkwartier-West is diverse. In her review, Angeli mentions the proximity to the city centre as a major plus: "Close to the city centre, which is of course very nice." She also points to a wooded area nearby where you can explore nature, which softens the somewhat grey appearance of the district.
Accessibility is excellent, with a score of 8.8. Tram and bus connections take you quickly to the centre of The Hague, and Den Haag Hollands Spoor station is within cycling distance. By car, you can quickly reach the A4 or A12 via the surrounding roads. This also makes the neighbourhood interesting for people who work outside The Hague.
Compared to neighbourhoods such as Spoorwijk and Laakkwartier-Oost, Noordpolderbuurt has a similar working-class character but a slightly lower price level. Laakhaven-West offers more modern new-build for those seeking that. Would you like all neighbourhood data and resident reviews in one place?

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood with plenty of parks and other amenities. However, there are quite a few problems in the area, such as nuisance and dangerous people who harass you. Additionally, it's often dirty because rubbish isn't collected often enough. Despite all this, I'm quite satisfied with living in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is very cosy and you feel at home here. Good communication with neighbours. Lots of shops in the area. Easy to travel by public transport. Close to the city centre, which is of course very nice. There is also a forest nearby where you can explore nature. Fun activities for children, like going to the petting zoo. There are also community centres where you can meet people and do fun activities. In short, this is where you want to live.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery beautiful river, the water is a bit dirty but that doesn't matter, very nice ladies and the streets are tidy, it's very cosy and there is a snack bar in the Noordoostpolderbuurt
Auto-translated to English by AIIf something ever goes wrong, it's not immediately 'yes police', but we usually talk it out among ourselves. We trust each other that someone won't immediately be reported if, for example, they make noise. Usually we just address the neighbour directly instead of making a big deal out of it.
Auto-translated to English by AII’ve lived in Laak as an international student for over a year now and I had great experiences with the people and amenities available. Everyone speaks English and I have experienced no harassment about not being Dutch.
