Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Govert Bidloostraat sits in the lively Valkenboskwartier, a neighbourhood that feels both central and residential. With an energy label E, the home from 1917 has character but will need attention on heating costs.

Residents give the neighbourhood a 7.75 out of 10 based on five reviews. 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, for example." The area is densely populated with many young adults and singles, and most homes are pre-war. For more on the area, see Valkenboskwartier.
Daily errands are easy: an Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Ekoplaza and PLUS are a couple of streets away. For schools, De Parachute is a ten-minute walk, and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla is a bit further.

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 Govert Bidloostraat 49, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €375,000 is 17% below the average asking price in Valkenboskwartier (€451,726) and also below the median of €425,000. Given the 73 m² floor area and energy label E, the price is keen compared to other homes in the neighbourhood, but the older construction and lower energy rating mean you should factor in higher utility costs.
Valkenboskwartier is a densely populated urban area with a mix of young adults and families. Residents appreciate its proximity to the city centre and the beach, though some note noise from a busy road. The area has many pre-war buildings and a lively atmosphere. With a score of 7.75 out of 10 from five reviews, it's generally well-regarded.
The nearest Albert Heijn is 173 metres away, just around the corner. Ekoplaza is 254 metres away, and PLUS is 411 metres. For daily groceries, you have several options within a five-minute walk.
The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is 4.8 km away, which is a bit of a distance. Other primary schools like WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and Groen van Prinsterer are around 5.3,5.4 km. For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege is 5.6 km away. You may need to travel further for school runs.
The energy label is E, which means the home is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, with 40.2% of homes rated D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment.
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 neighbourhood is well-connected by road, but public transport to the station may require a transfer.
The apartment is 73 m², which is modest for a family. The neighbourhood has many families, but the home itself may be better suited for a couple or single person. The lack of a garden and the energy label E are also factors to consider.
