Valkenboskwartier: a mixed, central neighbourhood
The Valkenboskwartier is a dense urban area with a very high address density (8,568 per km²). It's home to a mix of households: many singles (3,555) and families with children (1,445). One resident says: "Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible." Another notes: "Quite 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." A third review mentions "it smells very bad", so the experience varies. Based on five reviews, the average score is 7.75.

About Copernicusstraat 219, 'S-Gravenhage
Was €375,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €375,000 was 17% below the average asking price in the Valkenboskwartier (€451,726) and also below the median of €425,000. The price per m² (€5,208) was close to the neighbourhood average of €5,136. Given that homes in the area sell on average in 47 days, this listing appeared priced.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is a common label for pre-war homes (93% of the neighbourhood was built before 1945). A D label meant the home was not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs were likely to be higher than in a modern home. Only 29% of homes in the area have an A or A+ label.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away. That's about a 10-minute bike ride or a short bus trip. The neighbourhood is well connected by bus and tram, but the station itself is not within walking distance.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Valkenboskwartier has a mix of families and singles. About 24% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within 5 km. One resident describes it as a "good neighbourhood for families", though another mentions noise from a busy road. The area has parks within walking distance (1.1 km) and is close to the city centre and beach.
How safe is the Valkenboskwartier?
The neighbourhood recorded 614 total crimes in the latest data. This is a relatively high number for a dense urban area, but it's important to note that the figure includes all types of crime. The area is central and busy, which can bring both vibrancy and nuisances. One resident mentioned an unpleasant smell, but others praised the neighbourhood's convenience and tidiness.
What is the property type and year of construction?
This is an apartment built in 1907, so it's a pre-war home with classic features like high ceilings and large windows. The vast majority (93%) of homes in the Valkenboskwartier were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
