Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1907 apartment on Edisonstraat sits in the Valkenboskwartier, a lively part of Den Haag. At 117 m² and with a D energy label, it's a spacious home from an era when rooms were generous. The asking price of €600,000 is 33% above the neighbourhood average of €451,726, which puts it on the high side compared to other apartments in Den Haag.
With over 11,600 residents, the Valkenboskwartier is densely populated and very urban (address density 8,568 per km²). It's a mix of singles and families, with many smaller households. 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 is less positive: "it smells very bad." Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.75 out of 10. The municipality Den Haag covers a wide area, but this pocket is well connected.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are also small shops within walking distance. Schools are a bit further: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 4.6 km away, and the closest secondary, Sint-Maartenscollege, is 5.4 km, so you'd likely cycle or take public transport. A GP is a five-minute walk away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep.

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 62, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €600,000 is 33% above the average asking price in the Valkenboskwartier (€451,726) and also above the median of €425,000. However, this apartment is larger than average (117 m² vs 94 m²) and in a pre-war building with character. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and location.
Energy label D is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, 40% of homes have label D or lower, while 29% have A or better. You can expect moderate heating costs, but improvements like insulation or double glazing could bring the label up and reduce bills.
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 reach it. The neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses for local travel.
The Valkenboskwartier has a mix of households: about 24% have children, 24% are couples without children, and 58% are single-person households. One resident describes it as a "good neighbourhood for families" despite the noise from a busy road. There are primary schools within a 5-minute walk, but secondary schools are further out.
There are 104 apartments for sale in the Valkenboskwartier, with an average price per m² of €5,136. This apartment's price per m² works out to about €5,128, which is in line with the neighbourhood average.
One resident mentions the neighbourhood is "quite noisy because you live next to a busy road." Edisonstraat itself is a residential street, but the area has a high density of addresses, so some street noise is likely. The pre-war construction with thick walls may help, but it's worth visiting at different times to judge.
