Frequently asked questions
About Drogersdijk 42, 'S-Gravenhage
Is €369,500 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 30% below the neighbourhood average of €527,500, but the apartment is also 32% smaller than the average (67 m² vs 98 m²) and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, older apartment in need of energy improvements.
What does energy label G mean for my bills?
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor insulation and high energy consumption. You can expect significant heating costs, especially in winter. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, 25% are A+ and 50% are C, so this apartment is at the lower end. It's worth factoring in potential renovation costs for insulation or heating upgrades.
How is the neighbourhood for families?
Oud Scheveningen has a mix of households: about 390 with children and 885 single-person households. Residents mention lots of children and a cosy, supportive community. There are primary schools within walking distance, though the nearest are about 1.3 km away. The area feels safe and neighbourly, according to reviews.
What shops and amenities are nearby?
An Albert Heijn is just 69 metres away, and a Hoogvliet is 227 metres. Restaurants are on your doorstep at 0.2 km. For a library or park, you're within a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very urban with a high density of amenities, so daily shopping and eating out are very convenient.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance for a daily commute. You'd likely need a bike, bus or car to reach it.
What is the typical time to sell a home in this neighbourhood?
Recently sold homes in Oud Scheveningen took an average of 38 days to sell, with an average sale price of €388,889. That's slightly above the asking price of this apartment, suggesting demand is reasonable. However, this apartment's smaller size and low energy label may affect its appeal.
Is the apartment suitable for a first-time buyer?
At €369,500, it's below the neighbourhood average, which could make it accessible for first-time buyers. However, the energy label G means higher running costs, and the compact size (67 m²) may be a consideration. The location in a lively, well-served neighbourhood is a plus for those starting out.
