Leyenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis studio on Escamplaan is a recent addition to the Leyenburg neighbourhood, built in 2020. It's a compact home with an A energy label, so heating costs should be low. At €225,000, it's the cheapest of the 119 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 35% below the average asking price of €344,315, a keen price for a new-build studio. For context, studios in Den Haag vary widely, but this one stands out for its efficiency and low entry point.
Leyenburg is a mixed, older neighbourhood with a village-like feel according to residents. One resident describes it as "a nice multicultural neighbourhood, a bit of village in a city," appreciating the sense of community and a neighbourhood app where people help each other. Another notes it's "cosy" with good shopping and public transport, but parking is a real headache. The area has many single-person households and a mix of ages, with average incomes. It's a lively, urban spot, the address density is high at nearly 6,000 addresses per km². Leyenburg has its quirks, but residents seem to value the community spirit.
For daily groceries, you have a Jumbo about a ten-minute walk away and an Albert Heijn just a bit further. There are several primary schools within walking distance, like WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, though it's a bit of a stroll. The Zuiderpark is just around the corner for a run or a picnic. Public transport is good, with trams and buses nearby, and the train station is a bit further out. The municipality of Den Haag offers plenty of urban amenities, but here in Leyenburg you get a more relaxed pace.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Langezaal NVM Makelaars. The price reflects the compact size and the neighbourhood's character, a good option for a first home or an investment.

An old neighbourhood, from the 1940s. Unfortunately, a flat was built on Soesterbergstraat many years ago that doesn't fit in with the area at all. The conversion into bedsits hasn't improved the neighbourhood. Parking is a big problem. It is conveniently close to Zuiderpark though.

Auto-translated to English by AIOf course there are always a few people who don't take putting out the rubbish properly seriously. But overall, our neighbourhood is a nice, cosy area. We know our immediate neighbours and help each other when we can. We have a neighbourhood app together where we can share our problems with each other. And warn each other about thieves or vagrants. I am happy with my neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII live in the FNP and there we spend a lot on keeping it cosy and clean. But outside our little neighbourhood it's an antisocial mess. Household items are just put out on the street. Always banger fireworks. Gatherings, with or without laughing gas, etc.
Auto-translated to English by AII think my neighbourhood is the quietest and cleanest in all of The Hague. Everywhere else you find rubbish on the streets, people who can't behave, traffic is a big joke, but in Leyenburg it's completely different. It's clean, quiet, peaceful here, people behave well, there are few traffic jams, and especially no stupid people standing on the bike paths with hazard lights.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a cosy neighbourhood, unfortunately a lot of unpleasant things happen here though.

About Escamplaan 906, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it's the cheapest home currently for sale in Leyenburg and 35% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €344,315. The floor area is 44 m², which is smaller than the average of 86 m², but the home is new (2020) with an A energy label. Given the low price and efficient layout, it represents good value for a compact studio in Den Haag.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and heating costs should be low. The property was built in 2020, so it meets modern building standards. You won't have to worry about high energy bills compared to older homes in the neighbourhood, where over 45% have labels D or lower.

Public transport is good, with bus and tram stops nearby. The nearest train station is 3.7 km away, so for longer journeys you might need a bus or bike to the station. The area is well-connected within Den Haag, making it easy to get around without a car.
At €225,000, this studio is priced below many studios in Den Haag, especially newer ones. The average price per m² in Leyenburg is €4,081, so this home at roughly €5,114 per m² is slightly above that, but the new build and energy label justify it. It's a competitive entry point for the city.
