Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Fahrenheitstraat sits in the Valkenboskwartier, a neighbourhood that feels both central and residential. At €299,000 it is priced 34% below the neighbourhood average of €451,726, which makes it a notably keen entry point for a home in this part of Den Haag. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one stands out for its combination of age and location.
The Valkenboskwartier is a dense, urban area with a very high address density (8,568 per km²). It is home to a diverse mix of people: many singles, some families, and a fair number of young adults. One resident describes it as a "very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible", while another notes it can be "quite noisy because you live next to a busy road". A third says it is "tidy" and "you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach". 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, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there is an Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further out: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 4.6 km away, so you would likely cycle or drive. There are also several other primary schools within 5 km, including WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and PCBS Groen van Prinsterer. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and a library is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed only via Makelaardij Ben van der Zijde.

Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible
Auto-translated to English by AIit smells very bad
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 Fahrenheitstraat 118, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €299,000, which is 34% below the average asking price in the Valkenboskwartier (€451,726). Given the flat's 76 m² and energy label G, the price is on the low side for the area, but the poor energy efficiency and pre-war construction (1910) mean heating costs will be high. It is a keen price for a central Den Haag apartment.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high energy costs can be expected. In the neighbourhood, 40.2% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war building, but you should budget for significant heating bills.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away. That is a longer distance, so you would likely cycle or take a bus to reach it.
The Valkenboskwartier has a mix of households: about 24% have children, while 58% are single-person households. One resident calls it a "good neighbourhood for families", noting it is tidy and close to the centre and beach. However, another mentions noise from a busy road. There are several primary schools within 5 km, though the closest is 4.6 km away.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. The floor area is 76 m², which typically accommodates two bedrooms, but you would need to confirm the layout with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The nearest park or public garden is 1.1 km away.
In 2023, there were 614 total crimes reported in the Valkenboskwartier, which has a population of 11,640. That works out to about 53 crimes per 1,000 residents, which is above the national average. However, perceptions vary: one resident says it is a "very nice neighbourhood", while another mentions it "stinks" and is "unhygienic".
