Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1906 apartment on Columbusstraat sits in the Valkenboskwartier, a lively part of The Hague. At 110 m² and with energy label C, it's a spacious home with period character. The asking price of €600,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Den Haag, but the size and location justify a premium.
The Valkenboskwartier is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of residents. One resident calls it a "very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible", while another notes it's "quite noisy because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood". A third review mentions it "smells very bad", so experiences vary. The area has many singles and young adults, and most homes were built before 1945. The municipality Den Haag is known for its vibrant city life.
For daily groceries, you have Jumbo just around the corner, Albert Heijn a couple of streets away, and PLUS within a five-minute walk. The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is a ten-minute walk, and there are several secondary schools within a short cycle. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and a GP and library are a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Anna's Makelaardij.

Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible

Auto-translated to English by AIQuite noisy neighbourhood because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood. You can live here in larger or smaller homes. It's tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach, for example. Lovely people around you. It's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn. There are also small shops within walking distance. There's a good driving school, Phillipo.
Auto-translated to English by AIA normal neighbourhood, not busy or anything like that. Lots of shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the hygienic condition is concerned, there is much room for improvement. This by making offenders clean up their own mess and imposing much higher fines. This does mean that there should be better monitoring and that the supervisory service should not just drive by. This prevents nuisance from pests and pollution. But it also gives a safer feeling for the entire neighbourhood.

About Columbusstraat 240, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €600,000 is 33% above the neighbourhood average of €451,726. However, this apartment is larger than average (110 m² vs 94 m²) and has a classic pre-war character. The price per m² works out to about €5,455, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,136 per m². So it's on the high side, but the size and location in the Valkenboskwartier are strong points.
The Valkenboskwartier is a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. It's popular with singles and young adults, and many homes date from before 1945. Residents give mixed reviews: some praise its proximity to the centre and accessibility, while others mention noise from busy roads and occasional unpleasant smells. It's a lively area with shops and amenities within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus or car to reach it.
Energy label C is decent for a pre-war apartment. It means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, though not as good as modern standards. You can expect moderate energy costs, but without specific consumption figures it's hard to estimate exact bills.
The nearest park or public garden is 1.1 km away, so it's a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood itself is quite built-up, but the centre of The Hague and the beach are easily accessible by bike or tram.
There are currently 104 homes for sale in the Valkenboskwartier, with prices ranging from €150,000 to €1,165,000. The average asking price is €451,726, and homes sell on average within 47 days. This apartment is priced above average, reflecting its size and character.
