Bloemenbuurt-West, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1927 apartment on Akeleistraat sits in the green, family-friendly Bloemenbuurt-West. With 113 m² of living space, it's a good 36% larger than the average home in the neighbourhood, a real bonus for those who like room to breathe. The price of €575,000 is on the high side compared to the local average of €425,000, but the extra square metres and the home's energy label C (decent for a pre-war property) help explain it. For context, this is one of the apartments in Den Haag currently on the market.
Residents love this pocket of Den Haag. One says: "I live here so I think it's a nice place. There are many children and you can easily entertain your child at the playground of the Zonnebloemschool or in the woods; the Bosjes van Pex." Another adds: "It's a nice neighbourhood with a lovely forest and shopping centre nearby; if I want to quickly get something to eat, I can easily arrange that within 10 minutes." The neighbourhood scores a 9.09 out of 10 from just two reviews, so take that as a strong thumbs-up from those who know it. It's a very urban area (density 4243 addresses per km²), yet it feels calm, mostly families and older residents, with a mix of ages. The neighbourhood Bloemenbuurt-West is one of those rare spots where you get city convenience without the noise.
For your morning bread run, Aldi, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are all just around the corner, about a five-minute walk. The nearest primary school is the Zonnebloemschool (the one residents mention), and there's a secondary school within a couple of streets away. The Bosjes van Pex park is on your doorstep, perfect for a stroll or a run. The municipality Den Haag keeps the area well-maintained, and the tram line nearby is barely noticeable, according to locals.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Cirk & Verhoog makelaars & taxateurs.

I live here so I think it's a nice place. There are many children and you can easily entertain your child at the playground of the Zonnebloemschool or in the woods; the Bosjes van Pex. There you have the riding school De Wildhoef, HBS, Quick and many more clubs and sports associations. It's a nice neighbourhood, there are many animals, lots of greenery and it's a sporty neighbourhood. You know almost everyone here and it's a nice community. Both child and parent enjoy themselves in de bloemenbuurt!
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a nice neighbourhood with a lovely forest and shopping centre nearby; if I want to quickly get something to eat, I can easily arrange that within 10 minutes. Also, despite living next to the trams, you hardly notice them. It's a clean neighbourhood.

About Akeleistraat 118, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €575,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €425,000. However, this home is 36% larger than the typical flat in Bloemenbuurt-West (113 m² vs 83 m²), and it has a decent energy label C. Recent sales in the area averaged €535,625, so the price is on the high side but reflects the extra space and pre-war character.
Bloemenbuurt-West is a green, quiet neighbourhood with a strong community feel. Residents praise the nearby Bosjes van Pex woods, the playground at Zonnebloemschool, and the easy access to shops. It's very urban in density but feels calm, with many families and older residents. The area scores a 9.09 out of 10 from resident reviews.
Aldi, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are all within about 700,750 metres, roughly a five-minute walk. For organic options, Ekoplaza is about 1.3 km away, and PLUS is a similar distance. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The nearest primary school is the Zonnebloemschool, which residents mention as a local hub. Secondary schools are also within walking distance, about 400 metres. The area is well-served for families with children.
The home has energy label C, which is reasonable for a property built in 1927. It means you can expect moderate energy costs, but it's not the most efficient. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, with 100% of recent sales in label B, so this one is slightly below that.
The nearest train station is 5.7 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike, bus or car to reach it. The tram line nearby is convenient for local travel.
