Zuidwal, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1904 apartment on Boekhorststraat sits right in the thick of things, the city's shopping district, restaurants and public transport are all on your doorstep. At 69 m² it's compact, but the price is notably keen: €335,000 is 34% below the neighbourhood average for an apartment, partly because the floor area is 32% smaller than the Zuidwal norm. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, so this is a realistic entry point into the city centre.
Zuidwal is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a very strong city feel (over 8,600 addresses per km²). It's a mix of ages and backgrounds, with many single-person households and a youngish population. One resident calls it a 'multicultural neighbourhood with many amenities' and notes 'increasing greenery, everything in the neighbourhood.' Another describes it as 'very centrally located in the shopping district and easily accessible by public transport or bike,' though they add that weekends can be busy and the atmosphere at night sometimes feels unsafe. The neighbourhood Zuidwal has a lively, sometimes chaotic energy that suits those who want everything on their doorstep.
For groceries you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner, a Jumbo a couple of streets away, and a SPAR express within a five-minute walk. Schools are a bit further out, the nearest primary, De Parachute, is about a ten-minute walk, and secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege are a short cycle away. The municipality Den Haag provides all the usual city amenities, from libraries to parks, though the nearest park is a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Elzenaar NVM Makelaars Centrum and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.
