Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis rental apartment on Kasteellaan is part of a brand-new development completed in 2024. With an A+++ energy label, it's as efficient as it gets. At €1,255 per month, the rent sits 28% below the neighbourhood average of €1,739, a keen price for a modern home. For context, the average apartment in Den Haag goes for more, so this is a sharp option if you're after something fresh and affordable.
Binckhorst is a neighbourhood in transition, still very much an industrial estate with a handful of new homes. 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." Based on two reviews, the main gripes are a lack of amenities, greenery and safety concerns in the evening. On the plus side, it's easily accessible by bike and car. The area has a very high density of 3,743 addresses per km², making it strongly urban. Most households are single-person (59%), and the average income is on the lower side. The neighbourhood is still developing, so things may improve.
For groceries, Jumbo and Aldi are just around the corner, and a small Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is a ten-minute walk, while Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is a bit further. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and a park is a ten-minute walk away. The train station is 1.7 km away, a 20-minute walk or short cycle. The neighbourhood has few facilities, so you'll rely on the city centre for most things.

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.
Auto-translated to English by AINo greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter.
