Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment sits in the Valkenboskwartier, a lively part of Den Haag. At 61 m² it's compact but well-proportioned, with an energy label D and a 1915 build year. The asking price of €350,000 is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €451,726, making it a keen entry point into the local market. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
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 mentions "it smells very bad", so the experience varies. The neighbourhood Valkenboskwartier has a high proportion of pre-war housing (93%) and a mix of owner-occupied and rental homes.
For groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Ekoplaza and PLUS a couple of streets away. Schools are further out, the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 5 km away, so you'd likely cycle or drive. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of amenities: restaurants, a library, and a park. The train station is 4.1 km away, so not within walking distance.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Olsthoorn NVM Makelaars and also appears on other channels. The price and details are current as of the listing date.

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 Frederik Ruyschstraat 40, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €350,000 is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €451,726, which makes it look keen. However, the apartment is also 35% smaller than the average (61 m² vs 94 m²), so the price per m² works out at about €5,738, slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,136. So it's priced for its size, but not a bargain.
The Valkenboskwartier is a very urban area with a dense population. Residents describe it as lively and central, with easy access to the city centre and the beach. Some mention noise from busy roads, and one review notes unpleasant smells. It's a mixed area with many singles and families, and a high proportion of pre-war housing.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You would need a bike, bus, or car to reach it. The area is well-connected by other means, though.
The closest supermarket is Albert Heijn at 140 m, just around the corner. Ekoplaza is at 186 m, and PLUS at 466 m. So daily shopping is very convenient on foot.
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs may be higher than in a modern home. The neighbourhood has 40% of homes with label D or lower.
The neighbourhood has a mix of households, with about 24% having children. One resident says it's a "good neighbourhood for families", though another notes noise from traffic. Schools are a bit far, the nearest primary is about 5 km away, so you'd need transport.
