Huygenspark, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Groenewegje sits in a 1750 building, so you're buying a slice of The Hague's past. With 80 m² of living space, it's compact but full of character. The price of €499,000 is in line with the market, the neighbourhood average for apartments is around €509,000, and this one is priced keenly given its size.

Huygenspark is a neighbourhood that has improved over the years, according to one resident. They describe it as "green, quiet and accessible", with a recently renovated park that's "vibrant for all ages". The area is an extension of the Schilderswijk, but the resident notes you don't notice that here, up to Holland Spoor station, everything is fine. Accessibility is top-notch: you're quickly in the city centre, at the train station, and on the tram to Scheveningen. Plenty of amenities are within reach. Based on this single review, it's a well-regarded spot. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of single-person households and a very urban feel, with an address density of 7,852 per km².

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 €509,000 for apartments. Given that this home is 80 m², 29% smaller than the average of 113 m², the price per m² works out higher than average. So it's priced in line with the market, but you're paying a premium for the historic character and central location.
The energy label is D. In Huygenspark, 29.2% of homes have label A, 12.5% label B, 33.3% label C, and 25% label D or lower. So label D is on the lower end, expect higher heating costs compared to a more efficient home. The listing doesn't specify insulation or heating system details.
Residents praise Huygenspark for its accessibility and amenities. You have supermarkets like Albert Heijn and Jumbo within a few minutes' walk, and the train station is a five-minute walk. The park was recently renovated and is popular. The area feels safe and quiet despite being close to the city centre.
The train station is 0.6 km away, a five-minute walk. Trams towards Scheveningen and other parts of The Hague are also nearby. The neighbourhood is very walkable, and the city centre is quickly reachable.
The listing does not state the number of rooms. With 80 m², it could be a two- or three-bedroom, but you'd need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given the building dates from 1750 and is in a central location, outdoor space is unlikely but not confirmed.
The listing does not mention parking. In central The Hague, street parking is often permit-based. You would need to check with the municipality about permits and availability.
