Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 61 m² apartment on the Binckhorstlaan is part of a dynamic area in Den Haag that is still finding its feet. Built in 2003 and with energy label A, it's an efficient home in a neighbourhood that's more industrial estate than residential. The asking price of €375,000 is 32% below the neighbourhood average of €552,443, which makes sense given the smaller floor area and the area's unfinished feel. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one is keenly priced for what it is.
The Binckhorst is a neighbourhood in transition, but it's not there yet. Based on two reviews, residents describe it as "an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through" and "an industrial area with a few houses." One resident says: "It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." The area scores 4.19 out of 5 from two reviews, but the comments reveal real frustrations. The neighbourhood Binckhorst is densely populated with 3,743 addresses per km², and most homes are apartments (90% of the housing stock). It's a young area: over half the residents are between 25 and 45.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarket is an Aldi just around the corner, and an Ekoplaza is a couple of streets away. There's also an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away. Schools are close: the Protestant Christian primary school Groen van Prinsterer is a five-minute walk, and KC de Telescoop is just beyond that. The municipality Den Haag has plenty of amenities, but in this corner of the city, you'll rely on a bike or car to get to most of them. The busy road running through the neighbourhood makes cycling practical but sometimes dangerous, as residents note.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including RM WONEN NVM Makelaardij.

It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though. It's easily accessible by bike and car, but that's also because there's a very busy road running through it. This makes some places dangerous for cyclists. There's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening. Some lights don't work, and sometimes strange people are around. There isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area. There are also two reception centres that can sometimes cause nuisance in the evening and during the day (boys on fat bikes shouting things). This also makes safety less good, especially in the evening when there aren't many people around.
