A new-build apartment in Binckhorst
This apartment on Kasteellaan is part of a 2024 development, so everything is fresh and unused. With 57 m² of living space, it was a compact home, and the A++ energy label meant running costs should stay low. The last known rent of €1,290 was 22% below the neighbourhood average of €1,658, which made it a keen price for the area. For context, that is in line with what you would expect for [apartments in Den Haag]. This home has not been online since 15 September 2026.
The Binckhorst neighbourhood
Binckhorst is an industrial estate with a few houses, and residents are honest about its rough edges. 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." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." Based on two reviews, the picture is of an area in transition, with a busy road running through it and safety concerns after dark. The neighbourhood is home to many young adults, with 58% of residents aged between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. It is a work-in-progress area, and [the Binckhorst] reflects that.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarkets are a Jumbo and an Aldi, both just around the corner away. An Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. For schools, De Parachute primary school is a ten-minute walk, and the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is about a kilometre away. Secondary options include Sint-Maartenscollege at 1.4 kilometres. The area is easily accessible by bike and car, though the busy road running through it can make cycling feel less safe. For a wider range of amenities, [the municipality of Den Haag] is close by.
