Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1909 apartment on Edisonstraat sits in the lively Valkenboskwartier, a neighbourhood that blends city energy with a village feel. At 127 m², it's a good 35% larger than the average home in the area, which is reflected in the asking price of €495,000. Compared to the neighbourhood median of €425,000, this home is on the high side, but the extra space explains it. For context, apartments in Den Haag in this price range typically offer less square metres.
The Valkenboskwartier is a dense, urban area with over 11,600 residents. It's a mix of singles (around 3,555 one-person households) and families (about 1,445 households with children). One resident calls it a "Nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible." Another says: "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 is less positive: "unhygienic, it stinks." Overall, the neighbourhood scores a 7.75 out of 10 from five reviews. The municipality Den Haag is known for its diverse districts, and this one is no exception.
For your morning bread, the PLUS is just around the corner, and the Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. There's also a Jumbo and an Ekoplaza within a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about a ten-minute walk, and the Protestantse Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is a bit further. For secondary education, the Sint-Maartenscollege is within walking distance. A GP is on your doorstep, and a restaurant is just around the corner.

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 Edisonstraat 119, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €495,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €425,000, but the apartment is also 35% larger than average (127 m² vs 94 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €3,898, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,136 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money.
The home has energy label C. That's a decent score for a 1909 building, in the neighbourhood, about 22% of homes have label C, while 40% have D or lower. Label C means reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but not as efficient as modern homes.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike, bus or car to get there.
The Valkenboskwartier has a mix of families and singles. One resident says it's a "Good neighbourhood for families" despite some noise from a busy road. There are primary schools within walking distance, and parks are about 1.1 km away. The area is tidy and close to the centre and beach.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space.
