Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Kasteellaan is part of the new development in Binckhorst, an area that is rapidly changing from an industrial estate into a mixed-use neighbourhood. The home is brand new (2024) and has an A+++ energy label, so heating costs will be very low. At €1,476 per month, the rent is 13% below the neighbourhood average of €1,702, which is keen for a new-build apartment. For context, this is one of the apartments in Den Haag currently available.
Binckhorst is still very much a work in progress. Based on two reviews, residents describe it as an industrial estate with some housing 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 neighbourhood has a very high address density (3,743 addresses per km²) and is mostly made up of small households, many young people between 25 and 45. The Binckhorst is easily accessible by bike and car, but a busy road runs through it, which can make cycling feel unsafe.
For daily groceries, the nearest supermarket is a Jumbo and an Aldi, both about a five-minute walk away. A slightly larger Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance, such as De Parachute and PCBS Groen van Prinsterer. Secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are a bit further, around a 15-minute walk. The neighbourhood has few amenities, but the city centre of Den Haag is easily reached by bike or public transport. The municipality is working on upgrading the area, so more facilities may appear over time. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Den Haag.

About Kasteellaan 925, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it is competitive. The rent is 13% below the neighbourhood average of €1,702, and for a brand-new apartment with an A+++ energy label, that is a good deal. The floor area of 69 m² is smaller than the neighbourhood average of 470 m², but that average is skewed by large commercial properties, for a residential apartment, 69 m² is a normal size.
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so you can expect very low heating and electricity bills. The apartment was built in 2024, so it meets the latest insulation and building standards.
Residents report that the area can feel unsafe in the evening, with some street lights not working and occasional nuisance from reception centres. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 524, which is relatively high for a small population of 2,075. However, the area is being redeveloped, and safety may improve over time.
Yes, there is a Jumbo and an Aldi about 500 m away (a five-minute walk), and an Albert Heijn about 941 m away (a ten-minute walk). For primary schools, De Parachute is 761 m away and PCBS Groen van Prinsterer is 991 m away. Secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege are about 1.4 km away.

The listing does not state whether the apartment is furnished or unfurnished.
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.
