Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 185 m² apartment on Edisonstraat in the Valkenboskwartier is a generous home in a lively part of The Hague. Built in 1907 and with energy label C, it combines period character with a practical layout. The asking price of €699,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, but the floor area is nearly double the typical size in the area. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
With over 11,600 residents, the Valkenboskwartier is a densely populated area (over 8,500 addresses per km²). It's a mix of singles and families, and the reviews reflect that diversity. 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 unpleasant smells. Based on five reviews, the average score is 7.75. The neighbourhood Valkenboskwartier has a high proportion of pre-war housing (93%) and a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes.
For your daily shopping, you have a PLUS supermarket just around the corner, and a Jumbo and Albert Heijn within a five-minute walk. There's also an Ekoplaza for organic groceries. Schools are a bit further away: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 5 km from the street, and the closest secondary school, Sint-Maartenscollege, is roughly 5.5 km. The municipality Den Haag offers many amenities, but this particular street is more about urban living than suburban quiet.

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 85, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 55% above the neighbourhood average of €451,726, but the apartment is also 97% larger than the typical 94 m² home in the Valkenboskwartier. The price per m² works out at roughly €3,778, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,136 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting significantly more space for your money.
It's a very urban neighbourhood with a high density of addresses. Residents appreciate the proximity to the city centre and the beach, but some mention noise from busy roads. The area has a mix of housing types, mostly pre-war buildings, and a diverse population. One resident summed it up as 'tidy' and 'lovely people around you'.
The closest supermarket is a PLUS at 285 metres, just around the corner. A Jumbo is 372 metres away, and an Albert Heijn is 401 metres, all within a five-minute walk. There's also an Ekoplaza at 533 metres for organic products.
The apartment has energy label C. This is a mid-range label, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, though the exact amount depends on usage. In the neighbourhood, about 22% of homes have label C, while 40% have a lower rating.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away. That's about a ten-minute drive or a 15-minute bike ride.
The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is 4.7 km away, and the closest secondary school, Sint-Maartenscollege, is 5.6 km. These are not within walking distance, so you'd need a bike or car for the school run.
The Valkenboskwartier recorded 614 total crimes in the latest data. That's a relatively high number for a dense urban area, but it's important to note that this includes all types of offences. The neighbourhood has a mix of residential and commercial streets, so some areas may feel safer than others.
