Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Kasteellaan is part of a brand-new development in the Binckhorst, an area that is very much in transition. At 73 m² with an A++ energy label, it is efficient and modern. The rent of €1,530 is 12% below the neighbourhood average, which makes it a keen price for a new-build home. For context, the average rent for apartments in Den Haag is higher.
The Binckhorst is still largely an industrial estate, and the two residents who reviewed it are honest about that. One says: "It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there." Another calls it "an industrial area with a few houses" and notes "no greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood." Both mention safety concerns in the evening and litter. The neighbourhood has 2,075 residents, mostly young adults between 25 and 45, and many single-person households. It is very urban, with an address density of 3,743 per km².

For daily groceries, you have a Jumbo and an Aldi just around the corner, both about 520 m away. A larger Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Parachute is a couple of streets away, and the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school is about a ten-minute walk. For secondary education, the Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are also within reach. The area is well connected by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it.

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.
