Binckhorst, Den Haag
AreaA new apartment on Kasteellaan
This is a brand-new apartment on Kasteellaan in Binckhorst, a corner of Den Haag that is very much in transition. The building dates from 2024 and the energy label is A++, so the home is extremely efficient. At €1,465 per month, the rent sits about 12% below the neighbourhood average of €1,658, which makes it keenly priced for the area. For context, that is in line with the range of apartments in Den Haag as a whole.
Binckhorst
Binckhorst is an industrial estate with a few houses, and the two residents who have 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 it and the lack of a real community, though they also note it is easily accessible by bike and car. Based on two reviews, this is not a neighbourhood that sells itself on charm. The population is young, with 63% aged between 25 and 45, and most households are single people.

Life on the street
Daily errands are doable but not always on the doorstep. The nearest supermarkets are a Jumbo and an Aldi, both just around the corner, while the closest Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. For schools, De Parachute primary school is a couple of streets away, and the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is about a ten-minute walk. Secondary options include Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum, both roughly a fifteen-minute walk. The train station is 1.4 km away, so public transport is within reach without being immediate.
