Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis brand-new apartment on Kasteellaan 763 sits in Binckhorst, a neighbourhood in Den Haag that is clearly in transition. The building is from 2024 and carries an A++ energy label, so it is as efficient as it gets. At €1,273 per month, the rent is 23% below the neighbourhood average of €1,657, which makes it a keen deal for the area. For context, [apartments in Den Haag]( /huurwoningen/s-gravenhage/appartementen/) typically go for more.
Binckhorst is an industrial estate with a handful of homes, and the two residents who reviewed it are honest about its rough edges. 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 adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." Both mention the busy road running through, which can feel unsafe for cyclists. That said, they also note it's easily accessible by bike and car, and that efforts are being made to improve the area. Based on two reviews, this is a place with potential, but not yet a cosy community. [The neighbourhood of Binckhorst]( /buurt/binckhorst/) is still finding its feet.
For daily shopping, you'll find a Jumbo and an Aldi just around the corner, both about 500 metres away. A slightly larger Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. For schools, De Parachute is a couple of streets away, and the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is about a kilometre out. Secondary options like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are within a fifteen-minute walk. The area is well connected by bike and car, and the train station is 1.7 km away. [The municipality of Den Haag]( /gemeente/s-gravenhage/) has plenty to offer beyond the immediate surroundings.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.
