Living in Rond de Energiecentrale, Den Haag
Rond de Energiecentrale is a lively, urban neighbourhood in the heart of the Regentessekwartier. The name refers to the former power station on the Constant Rebecquestraat, an industrial monument that partly defines the character of the area. The buildings largely date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: you will find many typical Den Haag porch flats and apartment homes with high ceilings, sometimes with original details such as stained glass and decorative plasterwork. In between are some post-war blocks and newer complexes.
The atmosphere is a mix of quiet living and urban bustle. Resident Ibrahim describes it aptly: "It is quiet, but in 5 minutes you can cycle to all the hustle and bustle you want." This combination makes the neighbourhood popular with young professionals and couples. The largest age group is therefore 25 to 45 years, accounting for more than 2,795 of the 6,760 residents. Single-person households form the majority (2,155), which fits the urban, independent character.

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.
