Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis two-year-old apartment on Kasteellaan sits in a neighbourhood that is still finding its feet. At 62 m² it is compact, and with an A++ energy label it is very efficient. The rent of €1,430 is 18% below the neighbourhood average, which makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Den Haag.
Binckhorst is a mixed-use area where businesses and homes sit side by side. One resident describes it as "an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through." Another calls it "an industrial area with a few houses." Both mention a lack of greenery and supermarkets, and note that it can feel unsafe in the evening. The neighbourhood has a very high density of 3,743 addresses per km², and most households are single people. The municipality Den Haag is working on improvements, but for now the area remains a work in progress.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarkets are Jumbo and Aldi, both just around the corner. A slightly larger Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, such as De Parachute (a five-minute walk) and PCBS Groen van Prinsterer (a ten-minute walk). The area is easily accessible by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it.

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.
