Quiet living close to The Hague

The neighbourhood is quiet with little contact with the neighbours. It is otherwise relaxed, rich in nature, and of good quality. You are close to The Hague and it's a half-hour drive to Amsterdam. The lack of contact with the neighbourhood has its pros and cons. But it does provide peace. The houses are very closed off from the rest of the street, so there is little contact.

Private but quiet

It's a lovely neighbourhood with a lot of privacy. However, it's difficult to reach, especially when the Rijksstraatweg is closed or the A44. So accessibility is poor and could be improved.
