Noordpolderbuurt, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1937 apartment on Jan van der Heijdenstraat sits in the Noordpolderbuurt, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village within the city. At 65 m², it's a compact home with an energy label G, so heating costs will be something to factor in. The asking price of €235,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €290,397, making it a keen entry point into Den Haag's market. For context, apartments in Den Haag typically command higher prices.
The neighbourhood Noordpolderbuurt gets a solid 8.17 out of 10 from residents. One resident says: "Everyone grew up together, making the neighbourhood feel like one close-knit community." Another notes: "It's a neighbourhood with a bad reputation, but it's not that bad actually, there are plenty of parks and amenities." A third calls it the "cosiest neighbourhood" with good neighbours and easy access to shops and public transport. The area is densely populated (5,606 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet parks and green spaces are just around the corner.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with Aldi and Ekoplaza a couple of streets away. Schools are a ten-minute walk: the Protestant Christian primary school Groen van Prinzerster and KC de Telescoop are both within that range. The municipality Den Haag offers all the city amenities you'd expect, from restaurants to a train station a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via several channels, including NassauHuis Makelaardij, Pararius, Funda and the agent's own site.

I experience the Noordpolderbuurt as a quiet, pleasant neighbourhood where you can really feel at home. Almost everyone has known each other for years, creating a warm and close community. The neighbourhood feels safe, both during the day and in the evening, and there is a relaxed atmosphere. The homes are generally of good quality and well-maintained. The streets are clean and hygienic, which further enhances living comfort. There is also plenty of greenery in the area; the nature and parks make it a nice place to walk or unwind. In addition, there are sufficient amenities in the neighbourhood, making daily life easy and pleasant. Whether it's shops, schools, or other important facilities: everything is easily accessible. The accessibility of the neighbourhood is excellent, whether by public transport, car, or bike. In short: the Noordpolderbuurt is for me a quiet, safe, and social neighbourhood where people enjoy living and where the atmosphere feels positive and familiar.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood with plenty of parks and other amenities. However, there are quite a few problems in the area, such as nuisance and dangerous people who harass you. Additionally, it's often dirty because rubbish isn't collected often enough. Despite all this, I'm quite satisfied with living in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is very cosy and you feel at home here. Good communication with neighbours. Lots of shops in the area. Easy to travel by public transport. Close to the city centre, which is of course very nice. There is also a forest nearby where you can explore nature. Fun activities for children, like going to the petting zoo. There are also community centres where you can meet people and do fun activities. In short, this is where you want to live.

Auto-translated to English by AIIf something ever goes wrong, it's not immediately 'yes police', but we usually talk it out among ourselves. We trust each other that someone won't immediately be reported if, for example, they make noise. Usually we just address the neighbour directly instead of making a big deal out of it.
Auto-translated to English by AII’ve lived in Laak as an international student for over a year now and I had great experiences with the people and amenities available. Everyone speaks English and I have experienced no harassment about not being Dutch.

About Jan van der Heijdenstraat 7C, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 19% below the average asking price in the Noordpolderbuurt (€290,397) and also below the median of €279,999. Given the compact 65 m² and energy label G, the price reflects the home's condition and size. It's a relatively affordable entry into the neighbourhood.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor insulation and high energy consumption. You can expect significant heating costs, especially in winter. The neighbourhood has 50% of homes with label D or lower, so this is not unusual for pre-war buildings in the area.
