Over the years, this neighbourhood has improved in my opinion. Huygenspark was renovated not long ago and is a vibrant park for all ages. The Huygenspark neighbourhood is an extension of the notorious Schilderswijk district. But you don't notice any of that here; up to the level of Holland Spoor station, everything is perfectly fine. Accessibility is top-notch; you're quickly in the city centre, quickly at the train station, and quickly on the tram towards Scheveningen or other places in The Hague. Plenty of amenities; everything you need can be found in the neighbourhood.

About Groenewegje 126A, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €499,000 is close to the neighbourhood average of €509,353 for apartments, and slightly above the median of €450,000. The floor area of 80 m² is 29% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 113 m², so the price per square metre is higher than average. Given the historic character and central location, the price is in line with the market.
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, 29.2% of homes have label A, 12.5% label B, 33.3% label C, and 25% label D or lower. Label D means the home is moderately efficient; heating costs will be higher than in a more modern property, but it is not the worst rating.

The building dates from 1750, making it over 270 years old. The energy label D suggests some modernisation, but the exact condition of the interior is not detailed in the listing. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes were built before 1945, so this is typical for the area.
