Safe neighbourhood with lots of nature, just a bit lacking in amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood, I've lived here since birth. You're at the beach in a few minutes and in the city centre in half an hour. Quiet area, lots of green, good community. You know the whole street and neighbours regularly come by for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. It's a clean neighbourhood without litter lying around, many detached and semi-detached houses. Helderingschool and RKBS De Parkiet are less than 5 minutes apart. There is also room for special education. There is little car traffic, many people cycle in the neighbourhood. This gives a lot of peace.
Auto-translated to English by AIDe Vogelwijk in The Hague is really a nice place! It's so quiet and green, perfect for a relaxing walk. You can stroll through the Vogelwijkpark, enjoy nature, and maybe even spot some local animals. It just feels very pleasant to be there, especially when the sun is shining!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy parents and I have been living in De Vogelwijk for 5 years now and we like it. Apart from the relatively high average age, quite a lot still happens. There are many schools in the neighbourhood and plenty of space for children to play outside. There are no high-rise buildings, so it's very light everywhere. The location is great because the sea is a 10-minute walk away and the Jumbo, hairdresser, baker and Kruidvat are even closer. It's usually very quiet in the evenings, except when there's been a party at the Westwood, but even that is minimal. Overall, I think De Vogelwijk is a nice and beautiful neighbourhood.

About Sijzenlaan 53, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €1,195,000 is close to the median sold price in Vogelwijk (€1,167,500) and slightly above the average sold price (€1,040,808). Given the 151 m² floor area and 164 m² plot, the price per m² (€7,913) is a bit above the neighbourhood average of €7,413. So it's on the higher side, but not out of line for a well-maintained 1930s terraced house in this sought-after area.
The home has energy label C. This means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but not the highest standards. You can expect moderate energy bills, though not as low as with an A or B label. In Vogelwijk, about 23% of homes have label C, while over half have a lower rating (D or below), so this home is slightly above average for the neighbourhood.
Vogelwijk is very family-friendly. About 45% of households have children, and the area is known for its quiet, safe streets and green spaces. Residents mention that children can play outside safely and that the community is close-knit. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the neighbourhood park is just a couple of streets away.
The nearest train station is 6 km away, so commuting by train requires a bike or bus ride to the station. However, the neighbourhood is well-served by trams and buses that connect to The Hague city centre and the beach. Many residents cycle, as the area is flat and quiet.
Homes in Vogelwijk sell relatively quickly. In the past period, 65 homes were sold, with an average time on the market of 35 days. This suggests a healthy demand, though not as fast as some inner-city areas. The average sold price was €1,040,808, slightly below the current asking price of this home.
The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size of 164 m² suggests there is outdoor space. Given that this is a terraced house from 1930, it likely has a back garden, but the exact size and layout are not stated.
Pre-war houses (built before 1945) often have solid construction but may need updates to insulation, wiring or plumbing. This home has energy label C, so some improvements may have been made. It's always wise to have a structural survey done, but the listing does not mention any specific issues.
