Transvaalkwartier-Midden, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Herman Costerstraat sits in the heart of the Transvaalkwartier, a bustling neighbourhood with a strong multicultural character. At 49 m² it is compact, and with an energy label G you can expect higher heating costs. The asking price of €225,000 is 31% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which makes it a keen entry point into the market compared to other apartments in Den Haag.
The Transvaalkwartier-Midden neighbourhood is one of the most densely populated areas of The Hague, with over 8,000 addresses per square kilometre. It is a young area: nearly a third of residents are under 25. The housing stock is mostly pre-war (53%), and only a quarter of homes are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood has a lively street scene with many shops and eateries, and the city centre is a short bike ride away. No resident reviews are available for this area.
For daily groceries, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Lidl is a five-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Parachute and KC de Telescoop, though they are a bit further out. The neighbourhood is well served by public transport, with tram and bus stops nearby. The municipality of Den Haag maintains the streets and public spaces in this part of the city.
At present the apartment is listed through two channels, including Hooghlanden makelaars. The listing has been on the market for a short time, so it is worth checking the current status.

About Herman Costerstraat 30, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €225,000 is 31% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€324,867). However, the apartment is also smaller than average at 49 m², so the price per square metre is roughly in line with the neighbourhood average of €3,900/m². Given the compact size and low energy label, the price is competitive for a starter home in this area.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a modern home. The neighbourhood has a mix of labels, with 37.5% of homes rated D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. It is worth budgeting for energy improvements over time.
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a 10-minute bike ride. The area is well connected by tram and bus, so you can easily reach the station or other parts of The Hague without a car.
The Transvaalkwartier-Midden is a young, diverse neighbourhood with many children: about 20% of residents are under 15. There are several primary schools within a short walk, and the area has parks and playgrounds. The average household size is 2.3, and about 40% of households have children, so it is a family-friendly area.
The neighbourhood recorded 317 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for The Hague. However, the area is lively and well-populated, with many shops and people on the streets.
You have an Albert Heijn supermarket just 485 metres away, and a Lidl at 585 metres, so daily shopping is easy. There are also many small shops, restaurants, and cafes in the neighbourhood. A GP practice is 400 metres away, and a library is 800 metres from the apartment.
The asking price is below the neighbourhood average, and the area has a mix of housing with some newer developments. However, the small size and poor energy label may limit appreciation. The neighbourhood is popular with renters, so it could work as a rental investment, but you would need to factor in renovation costs for the energy label.
