Vissershaven, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Dr. Lelykade sits in the lively harbour area of Scheveningen, with the sea breeze and marina just a stroll away. At 162 m², it's a good 40% larger than the average apartment in the neighbourhood, a proper amount of space. Built in 2004, it has an energy label C, so heating costs are moderate. The asking price of €895,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €515,000, but that reflects the size and location. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price.
Vissershaven is a tight-knit neighbourhood where many residents have roots in Scheveningen. One resident says: "If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony." Another notes: "My experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance... Most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello." The area is diverse, with children playing in the street and people walking their dogs. It's a very urban setting, over 3,500 addresses per km², with a mix of ages and households. The neighbourhood Vissershaven has a strong sense of community, though some mention occasional noise from fatbikes.
For your daily shopping, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Parachute (though that's a bit further). The neighbourhood has a high proportion of modern homes, 65% built after 2010, so the streets feel contemporary. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of restaurants and parks nearby, with the Bosjes van Poot a short walk away.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including RE/MAX City Makelaardij, Funda, Pararius and Vastgoed Nederland.

If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like). In the evenings, there are often young people racing by on fatbikes. That's the less pleasant part, besides the fact that this happens all day long. Furthermore, my neighbourhood is diverse; sometimes children play in the street, people walk their dogs or go to sports or the like. Most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello (I think that's also the spirit of the times). There are also occasionally confused people. Otherwise, the community is fine and there is very open communication!
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice and cosy neighbourhood. Landlord Hofwonen are scammers and want to cheat people time and again by not doing the maintenance and repairs they are legally obliged to. Moreover, the houses are freezing cold in winter, which should be banned. The neighbourhood is cosy. Nice people. The green in the neighbourhood is the Bosjes van Poot. It's like Shrek's swamp, really a filthy mess. Regularly there is a thick layer of bird droppings on the pavement and street. The municipality should clean this more often. Thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets and in the neighbourhood.

About Dr. Lelykade 226D, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €895,000, which is above the neighbourhood median of €515,000 and the average sold price of €789,645. However, this apartment is 162 m², significantly larger than the average 114 m² in Vissershaven. The price per m² works out to about €5,524, which is below the neighbourhood average of €7,587 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money.
Residents report very little crime or nuisance. One review says: "My experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like)." Another mentions that thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets. The total number of recorded crimes in the area is 377, but without context, it's hard to compare. Overall, the reviews suggest a safe and friendly environment.
The nearest train station is 5.6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need to take a bus or cycle to reach it. The area is better served by trams and buses for local transport.
Jumbo is just around the corner at 336 m, and Albert Heijn is about 678 m away, a five-minute walk. There's also an Aldi and Hoogvliet within a kilometre. So daily groceries are very convenient.
The apartment has an energy label C, which is average. It was built in 2004, so it likely has reasonable insulation and double glazing, but not the highest efficiency. In the neighbourhood, 53.7% of homes have label A, so this one is less efficient than many newer homes.
The listing does not mention parking, so it's unclear if there is a dedicated parking spot. In a dense urban area like Vissershaven, street parking may be limited.
