Statenkwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on François Maelsonstraat sits in the heart of Statenkwartier, one of The Hague's most elegant neighbourhoods. With its 1939 build and energy label C, it combines pre-war character with reasonable efficiency. At €399,500, the asking price is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €924,967, partly because the 69 m² floor area is 56% smaller than the typical home here. That makes it a relatively affordable entry into a sought-after area. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
Statenkwartier is a vibrant, tree-lined district with wide streets and stately old houses. Two residents describe it as a "fantastically beautiful neighbourhood" and a "lively neighbourhood where people who speak many languages live." They appreciate the mix of residents, the proximity to parks and woodland, and the convenience of the Frederik Hendriklaan shopping street just around the corner. The area feels safe, and there are plenty of activities for all ages. Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.07 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945, and the area is densely populated with a mix of families and singles. For more on the area, see the Statenkwartier neighbourhood.
For your morning bread and groceries, Jumbo and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. Primary schools are within a five-minute walk, and secondary schools are a ten-minute walk away. The neighbourhood also has a GP practice, a restaurant, and a park all within a few minutes' walk. The beach and city centre are easily reachable by tram or bus, which run frequently. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Den Haag.

About François Maelsonstraat 19C, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €399,500 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €924,967, but the apartment is also 56% smaller than the average home here (69 m² vs 156 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €5,790, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €6,225 per m². So it's priced keenly for its size, reflecting the smaller floor area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but you can expect moderate energy costs. In the neighbourhood, about 30% of homes have label C, while 32% have a lower label (D or worse).
Excellent. The Frederik Hendriklaan (the 'Fred') is just around the corner and is a major shopping street with supermarkets, bakeries, and specialty shops. Jumbo and Albert Heijn are both within a five-minute walk, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. You can easily do your daily errands on foot.
Trams and buses run very frequently from the neighbourhood to the city centre and the beach. The nearest tram stop is a few minutes' walk away. The train station is 4.7 km from the home, so for longer journeys you'd take a tram or bus to Den Haag Centraal or Hollands Spoor.
Residents report feeling very safe. The neighbourhood has a total of 347 recorded crimes, which is moderate for a dense urban area. The streets are generally clean and well-maintained, and there are many families and long-term residents.
Primary schools are within a five-minute walk, and secondary schools are about a ten-minute walk away. The area has several primary and secondary schools, including both public and religious options. The nearest primary school is De Parachute, and the nearest secondary is Sint-Maartenscollege.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The apartment is on the third floor (likely with a lift), so outdoor space is probably limited to a shared courtyard or none. The neighbourhood has parks and green spaces within a few minutes' walk.
The listing does not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 69 m², it is likely a one- or two-bedroom apartment, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
It is a fantastically beautiful neighbourhood
Auto-translated to English by AIStatenkwartier is a lively neighbourhood where people who speak many languages live. This makes it a very diverse group of residents. Nature is close by in the form of parks and woodland. Beautiful and truly old houses give it a stately character and create atmosphere. The streets are long and wide with many trees. I feel very safe here, and having the big shopping street of the Fred so close by is perfect! There are also many activities organised for residents, both young and old. The streets are generally quite clean, sometimes some litter but not much. There are also many primary and secondary schools in the area. Accessibility is excellent with trams and buses running very frequently and until late in the evening from the city centre or the beach, very convenient! You can easily manage without a car in this neighbourhood as a couple of two without children. One point for improvement: more space is needed for all the bicycles.

Auto-translated to English by AII have the feeling that this small district, Geuzenkwartier, is somewhat forgotten and lies in the shadow of Statenkwartier. Parking is a real big problem here with the many small narrow streets.
