About Honthorststraat 137, 'S-Gravenhage
At €199,500, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Schildersbuurt-West and 43% below the average asking price of €349,983. However, the floor area of 53 m² is 40% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 88 m², and the energy label F means higher heating costs. The price reflects the size and energy performance, so it's in line with what you'd expect for a compact, older apartment.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In this neighbourhood, 28.3% of homes have a label D or lower, so F is at the bottom end. Expect higher energy bills compared to a more efficient home. The listing does not include details on insulation or heating system.
Residents have mixed feelings. One says they feel safe and that everyone knows each other. Another mentions that 'all sorts of things happen here' but also notes nice people. The total number of crimes reported in the neighbourhood is 1,075, but without context it's hard to judge. Overall, it's a lively urban area with a strong community feel.
The nearest train station is 2.2 km away, which is about a 25-minute walk or a short bus ride.
Yes, primary schools are close. De Parachute and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer are both within a few hundred metres. For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are about 4 km away, so a bike or bus ride.
It's an apartment built in 1905 with 53 m² of living space. The listing does not specify the number of rooms, but given the size, it likely has two bedrooms. The layout is not described in the listing.
