Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis brand-new apartment on Kasteellaan is part of a rapidly developing area in Den Haag. With an energy label A++, it is highly efficient and keeps running costs low. At €1,273 per month, the rent is 25% below the neighbourhood average of €1,702, making it a keen price for a modern home. For context, this is one of the apartments in Den Haag currently available.
The Binckhorst is still very much an industrial estate with a handful of homes. One resident describes it as "an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through," noting virtually no amenities, little greenery, and a busy road running through it. Another calls it "an industrial area with a few houses," adding that there is no greenery, no supermarkets, and it feels quite dangerous in the evening. Both mention litter and a lack of community, partly because of the many businesses and two reception centres. Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores 4.19 out of 5, but the comments highlight significant drawbacks. This is the reality of the municipality of Den Haag's Binckhorst district.
For daily groceries, the nearest supermarkets are Jumbo and Aldi, both just around the corner. A slightly larger Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. For primary schools, De Parachute is a ten-minute walk, and the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is about a kilometre away. Secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are within a 15-minute walk. The area is well connected by bike and car, though the busy road can make cycling feel unsafe.

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.

However, the floor area of 57 m² is 88% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 470 m², which reflects that many homes in the area are larger or commercial spaces.
