Zuidwal, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Gedempte Burgwal sits right in the thick of it, the city centre buzzes outside your door. Built in 1750, it has that classic canal-house character, with an E energy label (so heating costs will be noticeable). At 60 m² it's compact, and the asking price of €249,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €510,613, partly because it's smaller than the typical home here. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
Zuidwal is a dense, lively neighbourhood with over 7,400 residents packed into a small area. Most households are single-person (around 3,300), and there are relatively few families with children.

Another calls it "Binnenstadt" and says it's "very centrally located in the shopping district and easily accessible by public transport or bike," though they add that weekends can be busy and the atmosphere at night sometimes feels unsafe. The neighbourhood Zuidwal has a high density of addresses, 8,658 per km², so it's very urban.
For groceries, you've got a Jumbo just around the corner and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There's also an Ekoplaza and a SPAR express within a five-minute walk.
