Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 61 m² apartment in the Binckhorst is part of a recent development, finished in 2024. The neighbourhood is still finding its feet, with a mix of businesses and new housing. At €1,725 per month, the rent is in line with the average for apartments in Den Haag, though the home is much smaller than the neighbourhood average.
Based on two reviews, residents describe the Binckhorst as an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through. 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 area is easily accessible by bike and car, but a busy road runs through it. The municipality Den Haag is working to improve the neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, you have a Jumbo and an Aldi just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Parachute (a couple of streets away) and the Protestant Christian primary school Groen van Prinsterer (a ten-minute walk). The nearest secondary school, Sint-Maartenscollege, is also about a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Holland2Stay and also appears on Funda.

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.
