A 1930s apartment on a busy road
This apartment on Goeverneurlaan 72 sits in Laakkwartier-Oost, a lively part of Den Haag where the streets are full of character and the pavements see plenty of foot traffic. Built in 1931, it is a piece of the neighbourhood's pre-war housing stock, and with an energy label E you can expect the heating bills to reflect that age. The asking price of €255,000 is keen compared with the average asking price of €293,577 in the neighbourhood, so it undercuts the local market. For context, there are currently 84 homes for sale in the area, and this one is among the more affordable options. If you are looking at [apartments in Den Haag]( /koopwoningen/s-gravenhage/appartementen/ ), this one stands out for its price point.
Inside the home
According to the agent, this apartment has four rooms, including three bedrooms and one bathroom, spread over a single floor on the fourth storey. The living area is listed as 77 m² by the agent, while the BAG registration records 78 m², a small difference between the two sources. The home has double glazing and a central heating boiler, and the agent notes it is situated on a busy road, so some traffic noise is to be expected. The volume of the home is 280 m³, which gives a sense of the space inside.
