Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Binckhorstlaan sits in a neighbourhood that is still finding its feet. With 54 m² of living space, it is compact but efficient, and the energy label A means low running costs. At €330,000, it is the cheapest of the 18 homes currently for sale in the Binckhorst, and the price is 40% below the neighbourhood average of €552,443, a keen entry point for buyers looking at apartments in Den Haag.
The Binckhorst is a mixed-use area where businesses and homes sit side by side. Based on two reviews, residents describe it as "an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through." 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 neighbourhood is densely populated with 3,743 addresses per km², and most homes are apartments built after 1990. For more context, see the neighbourhood Binckhorst.
For daily shopping, you have an Aldi just around the corner, and an Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school is a five-minute walk, and KC de Telescoop is about the same. The area is well connected by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it. For more on the wider area, see the municipality Den Haag.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via RM WONEN NVM Makelaardij and is also available through other channels.

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.

About Binckhorstlaan 311U, 'S-Gravenhage
At €330,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in the Binckhorst. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €552,443, so this apartment is priced 40% below that. However, it is also smaller than average (54 m² versus 83 m²). Given the compact size and the neighbourhood's mixed reputation, the price seems in line with what you get.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. In the Binckhorst, all homes for sale have label A or better (48.9% have A+). This means you can expect low energy bills compared to older homes.
Residents report safety concerns, especially in the evening. One review mentions that some lights don't work and that there can be nuisance from reception centres. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 524, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare. It is worth being aware of the area's reputation.
The Binckhorst has very few amenities. The nearest supermarket is an Aldi about 779 metres away, and there is a small Albert Heijn that residents say is limited. For a wider selection, you would need to go to neighbouring areas. There are several primary schools within a kilometre, and a train station is 1.7 km away.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km from the apartment. The area is also easily accessible by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it.
The Binckhorst has a young population: 58% of residents are between 25 and 45 years old. However, only 21% of households have children. The area is still developing, with many businesses and two reception centres, which some residents find disruptive. There is not a strong sense of community.
