Rustenburg, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1934 apartment on Blaricumseplein sits in a neighbourhood that feels a world away from the city centre, yet is well connected. At €450,000, the asking price is 42% above the neighbourhood average of €316,143, which puts it on the high side compared to other apartments in Den Haag.
Rustenburg is a mixed bag, according to residents. One says: "The flat I live in is nice to live in, but towards the Apeldoornselaan/Dierenselaan it is really going downhill." Another mentions "great concern about increasing crime and theft," including a broken-in van and stolen cargo bike. Yet the overall score from five reviews is 6.78, and the neighbourhood Rustenburg has a strong urban feel with over 7,600 addresses per square kilometre. The area is home to many young adults and singles, with a mix of owner-occupied and rental housing.
For daily shopping, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Primary schools are a ten-minute walk or so, with WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Pieter van der Plas School within reach. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of green space, with Zuiderpark a short stroll away, though some residents avoid it due to loitering youths.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Van Aalst Makelaars & Taxateurs, Funda, and Vastgoed Nederland.

The flat I live in is nice to live in, but towards the Apeldoornselaan/Dierenselaan it is really going downhill. Next to and behind the flat, fires have been set several times, which certainly gives the older residents an unpleasant feeling. Zuiderpark is relatively close, but many young people hang out there, so people don't like to go there anymore. Towards the Leyenburg district it's fine, so the walks go that way and the shopping is done there. All in all, it's reasonably pleasant to live, although there are some points of concern due to loitering youths. Hopefully something can be done about that; cameras are not allowed due to privacy, but unfortunately that means the youths who set fires are still out of sight. The flat is cleaned by a cleaning company, but it's a shame that some residents don't take hygiene so seriously. Accessibility is good with trams 4 and 6 right outside the door. Shopping centre within walking distance, so that's fine too. So if it doesn't get any worse, it's a good place to live here.
Auto-translated to English by AIWe would like to contribute to improvements. Crime Our biggest concern is crime. My husband's work van has been broken into three times. Once nothing was taken, but the other two times thousands of euros worth of tools were stolen. Additionally, our cargo bike was stolen and the screen of our electric bike was taken. For a young family, this has a huge impact. Safety We live above the café/nightclub where an explosive device was placed on the windows a few weeks ago. This was a shocking event that further heightened our feelings of insecurity in the neighbourhood. Other problems in the neighbourhood We also experience a lot of nuisance from dog poop. It's almost a miracle if we or our children don't step in a pile when getting into the car. The neglected boats along the quay are also a problem. They seem to attract homeless people, and I often hear suspicious noises coming from the boats when I have to get something from the car in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's safe but quite far from the city. Public transport is always slow and breaks down. Besides, there's no nature and my neighbourhood is extremely noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is busy. Also at night. Many foreigners and very noisy.
Auto-translated to English by AIOur neighbourhood is a mix of different cultures, so far we feel very much at home here, we keep an eye on each other and we enjoy living on our street. The only downside is really the parking situation, an absolute nightmare

About Blaricumseplein 29, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €450,000 is 42% above the neighbourhood average of €316,143. However, this apartment is larger than average (80 m² vs 73 m²) and has an energy label B, which is better than most homes in Rustenburg (only 22% have label B or higher). Whether it is fair depends on your budget and how much you value a pre-war flat with good energy performance.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably efficient. You can expect lower heating costs compared to older homes with labels D or lower. In Rustenburg, 58% of homes have a label D or worse, so this apartment stands out as more energy-efficient.
