The neighbourhood is active but not unsafe; there are shops and amenities within walking distance, so you can easily buy a döner and do your shopping at Albert Heijn. There are a few homeless people here who are a bit chaotic, but if you mind your own business, nothing happens.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery often nuisance from people (foreign) who share houses here with too many people. And leave rubbish everywhere on the street. And sometimes I don't feel safe on the street.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for 3 years and nothing weird has ever happened here, really a quiet neighbourhood. Neighbours are really kind and talk to each other normally.

About De Genestetlaan 206, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €225,000 is 26% below the average asking price in Laakkwartier-Oost (€302,964) and also below the median of €292,000. However, the floor area of 34 m² is 57% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 79 m². So the price per square metre is relatively high, but the absolute price is low, making it an affordable entry into the market.
The home has energy label A, which is very efficient. This means you can expect low energy bills compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, only 12.1% of homes have label A, and 3% have A+, so this is a good score. The home was built in 1938, but the label suggests it has been well insulated and modernised.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
Residents have mixed views. One says it's "active but not unsafe" and that if you mind your own business, nothing happens. Another feels unsafe at times due to nuisance from overcrowded housing and rubbish. A third says it's quiet and nothing weird has happened in three years. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 580, but without context, it's hard to compare.
