Vissershaven, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Hellingweg 16A sits in the heart of Scheveningen, with the sea breeze and beach just a stroll away. At 153 m², it's a third larger than the average apartment in the neighbourhood, which makes it feel unusually roomy. The price of €950,000 is on the high side compared to the median in Vissershaven, but the extra space and energy label A help explain why. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in size and price.
Vissershaven is a neighbourhood with a strong local identity. One resident describes it as "Old and familiar": "If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony." Another says: "My experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like)." A third review sums it up as "Cosy neighbourhood" with "very safe streets" thanks to the close community. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.38 out of 10. The area is densely built and very urban, with mostly flats and a mix of ages. For more on the area, see the neighbourhood Vissershaven.
For your morning bread, Jumbo is just around the corner, and Aldi is a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Schools are a bit further: De Parachute primary school is about 6 km away, and Sint-Maartenscollege secondary school is roughly 6.7 km. The beach and boulevard are within walking distance, and the Bosjes van Poot park is a five-minute walk for a green break. The municipality Den Haag covers a wide area, but this part of Scheveningen feels like its own village.

If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like). In the evenings, there are often young people racing by on fatbikes. That's the less pleasant part, besides the fact that this happens all day long. Furthermore, my neighbourhood is diverse; sometimes children play in the street, people walk their dogs or go to sports or the like. Most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello (I think that's also the spirit of the times). There are also occasionally confused people. Otherwise, the community is fine and there is very open communication!
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice and cosy neighbourhood. Landlord Hofwonen are scammers and want to cheat people time and again by not doing the maintenance and repairs they are legally obliged to. Moreover, the houses are freezing cold in winter, which should be banned. The neighbourhood is cosy. Nice people. The green in the neighbourhood is the Bosjes van Poot. It's like Shrek's swamp, really a filthy mess. Regularly there is a thick layer of bird droppings on the pavement and street. The municipality should clean this more often. Thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets and in the neighbourhood.

About Hellingweg 16A, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €950,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €515,000, but this apartment is also larger than average (153 m² vs 114 m²) and has an A energy label. The average price per m² in Vissershaven is €7,587, so this home works out to about €6,209 per m², which is below the neighbourhood average. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and efficiency.

Another mentions that "thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets and in the neighbourhood."

The beach is within walking distance, roughly a ten-minute walk. The boulevard and harbour are also nearby, making it easy to enjoy the seaside lifestyle.

The nearest train station is 5.6 km away, which is about a 15-minute drive or a longer cycle. The area is better served by trams and buses for local transport. The listing does not specify which station, but Den Haag Centraal and Hollands Spoor are the main options.
