A 17th-century apartment in the heart of The Hague
This apartment on Herderinnestraat 7A sits in the Zuidwal neighbourhood, right in the middle of the city. The building dates from 1650, which gives the home a real sense of history.

At €1,217 per month, the rent was about 50% below the neighbourhood average of €2,447, which made it a keen price for the area. For context, apartments in Den Haag average around €25.50 per m², so this one was well below that. This home has not been online since 20 October 2026.
