Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on Binckhorstlaan sits in a neighbourhood that is still finding its feet. At 169 m², it is much larger than the average rental in the area, and the energy label A keeps running costs down. The rent of €4,900 is well above the neighbourhood average of €1,739, so you are paying for the size and efficiency. For context, this is one of the pricier apartments in Den Haag.
Two residents describe the Binckhorst as an industrial area with a few houses. One says: "It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening." The neighbourhood scores 4.19 out of 5 based on two reviews. Most residents are between 25 and 45, and the area is very urban with a high address density. The municipality Den Haag is working on improvements, but for now the Binckhorst remains a work in progress.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarket is an Aldi just around the corner, with an Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within a five-minute walk: Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer and KC de Telescoop. A train station is a ten-minute walk away, and a park or public garden is also a ten-minute walk. The area is easily accessible by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it.

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 315F, 'S-Gravenhage
The rent of €4,900 is 182% above the neighbourhood average of €1,739. However, this apartment is much larger than typical rentals in the Binckhorst (169 m² vs an average of 527 m², note that average includes many smaller units). The energy label A also means lower utility costs. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value space and efficiency in an area with few amenities.
The Binckhorst is described by residents as an industrial estate with some houses. Amenities are scarce: a small Albert Heijn opened recently but has limited stock. There is no greenery, and safety is a concern in the evening due to litter, broken lights, and occasional nuisance from reception centres. The area is very urban and easily accessible by bike and car, but a busy road runs through it.
The nearest supermarket is an Aldi at 765 metres, about a ten-minute walk. An Ekoplaza is at 932 metres, and an Albert Heijn is just over a kilometre away. For daily shopping, you would need to walk or cycle, as the neighbourhood itself has very limited facilities.
Two primary schools are within walking distance: Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer (523 m) and KC de Telescoop (631 m). A secondary school, Gymnasium Novum, is 1.4 km away. The area also has a child daycare centre just 400 metres from the apartment.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. The apartment is well connected by bike and car, but public transport options within the neighbourhood are limited.
Yes, the apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. This means you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older properties. The building was constructed in 2003, so it likely has good insulation and modern installations.
