I've been living in Houtwijk for a while now and overall I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood. What I particularly experience as positive are the people here. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the street. The area is also clean and well-maintained, which gives a nice and cared-for feeling. Moreover, it feels very safe here; I feel at ease in the surroundings at any time of day. What I find less pleasant is the accessibility of Houtwijk by public transport. There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome or time-consuming. This makes it difficult for people without a car to get to other places quickly. All in all, I think Houtwijk is a nice and quiet place to live, especially because of the friendly neighbours, the cleanliness and the feeling of safety. Hopefully public transport will be better organised in the future.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other. All amenities are close by. Actually, this is the perfect neighbourhood. Everyone neatly cleans up the mess on the street, the houses are beautiful and well-insulated, green spaces are next to the centre which is also nice and spacious. Moreover, there is plenty to do for the children. Accessibility by both public transport and car is fine.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet residential area with lots of greenery. Pleasant living environment and friendly neighbours. Hardly any nuisance. The only downside is no shops in the immediate vicinity.

About Dr. J. Presserstraat 66, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €525,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €464,000 and the median of €495,000. However, this home has 115 m² of floor space, which is larger than the average of 104 m² in Houtwijk. The price per square metre works out at about €4,565, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,428. So it's on the high side, but not out of line for a larger property.
The energy label is C. That means the home is reasonably efficient, but not as good as a modern A or B label. You can expect moderate energy bills, but it's worth noting that over a third of homes in Houtwijk have an A label, so this one is slightly behind the curve.
The nearest train station is 5.4 km away. That's a fair distance, so you'd likely rely on a car or bus for longer journeys. Within the neighbourhood, buses and trams are available, but some residents find the connections limited.
Houtwijk is popular with families. Around 37% of households have children, and there are plenty of schools and playgrounds nearby. Residents describe it as safe and green, with neighbours looking out for each other. One review calls it "the perfect neighbourhood" for children.
In the past year, homes in Houtwijk sold after an average of 43 days. That's a reasonable pace, suggesting a balanced market. With 37 homes currently for sale, there is some choice, but well-priced properties don't linger.
You have a Lidl about 550 metres away and an Albert Heijn at 620 metres, both within easy walking distance. A Hoogvliet and a Jumbo are also within a kilometre, so you're well covered for groceries.
