Frequently asked questions
About Waldorpstraat 1170, 'S-Gravenhage
Is the rent of €857 reasonable for this studio?
The rent of €857 is significantly below the neighbourhood average of €1,671 for rentals, and it is also lower than the median of €1,795. However, the floor area of 24 m² is much smaller than the average of 83 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than the neighbourhood average. This makes it a compact and affordable option, but the cost per square metre reflects the small size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient rating on the scale. This means the home is designed to be energy-efficient, so you can expect lower heating and electricity costs compared to less efficient properties.

Experiences from Laakkwartier en Spoorwijk
How residents experience their district
The access is great because of the closeness to the station. The architecture is a bit disorganised and sometimes it does get a bit dirty and unhygienic; the trash gets everywhere around the bins and is not picked up frequently enough, as I have seen the same thing stay in the same place for over 9 days. But the community is diverse and at least in my area it's pretty safe, even late at night. There are a lot of students and immigrants and as an international student I feel very welcomed. My building is a bit messy but there is no serious issue like pests or anything, and for the rent it’s pretty good.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe 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 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 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.
