Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Kasteellaan is part of a recent development in the Binckhorst, an area of Den Haag that is very much in transition. The home is brand new (2024) and has an A++ energy label, so heating costs will be low. At €1,529 per month, the rent is 12% below the neighbourhood average for rentals, which makes it a keen price for a new-build. For context, the average rent in the area is €1,739, and this apartment is also smaller than the typical rental (61 m² versus 527 m²). If you are looking at apartments in Den Haag, this one stands out for its efficiency and modern specs.
The Binckhorst is still largely an industrial estate with a handful of homes. Based on two reviews, residents are not enthusiastic. One resident says: "It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." The neighbourhood has a very high density (3,743 addresses per km²) and is mostly made up of single-person households (average household size 1.6). The neighbourhood Binckhorst is clearly a work in progress, with efforts to improve but still a long way to go.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarkets are Jumbo and Aldi, both just around the corner. A slightly larger Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Parachute and PCBS Groen van Prinsterer. For secondary education, the Sint-Maartenscollege is a couple of streets away. The municipality Den Haag is investing in the area, but currently the Binckhorst lacks the greenery and facilities that many residential neighbourhoods offer.

It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though. It's easily accessible by bike and car, but that's also because there's a very busy road running through it. This makes some places dangerous for cyclists. There's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening. Some lights don't work, and sometimes strange people are around. There isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area. There are also two reception centres that can sometimes cause nuisance in the evening and during the day (boys on fat bikes shouting things). This also makes safety less good, especially in the evening when there aren't many people around.

About Kasteellaan 115, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it is a keen price. The rent is 12% below the neighbourhood average of €1,739, and for a brand-new apartment with an A++ energy label, that is competitive. The floor area (61 m²) is smaller than the typical rental in the area (527 m²), but that average is skewed by larger units. For a modern, efficient home, this is good value.
The energy label is A++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity costs. The apartment was built in 2024, so it meets the latest insulation and ventilation standards.
Residents report safety concerns, especially in the evening. One review mentions that some street lights don't work and that there can be nuisance from reception centres nearby. The total number of crimes in the area is 524, which is relatively high for a neighbourhood of this size.
Yes, but limited. The nearest supermarkets are Jumbo and Aldi, both about 520 m away. A slightly larger Albert Heijn is 975 m away. For primary schools, De Parachute is 726 m and PCBS Groen van Prinsterer is 992 m. Secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege are about 1.4 km away. However, residents note that the local Albert Heijn is very small and doesn't stock much.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk. The area is well-connected by bike and car, but a busy road runs through the neighbourhood, which can be dangerous for cyclists.
Very little. The nearest park or public garden is 1.0 km away, and residents complain about a lack of nature. The area is predominantly industrial, so if you value greenery, this may not be the best fit.
