Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis one-bedroom 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. At 51 m², it is compact but very energy-efficient with an A+++ label. The rent of €1,268 is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €1,739, making it a keenly priced option for a new-build home. For context, the supply of apartments in Den Haag is limited, so this stands out for its combination of modern specs and affordability.
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. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though." 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 area has a very high address density (3,743 per km²) and is home to mostly young adults (25-45 years old). The neighbourhood is part of the municipality of Den Haag, which is investing in its redevelopment.
For daily groceries, the nearest supermarkets are Jumbo and Aldi, both just around the corner. A larger Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: De Parachute and PCBS Groen van Prinsterer. Secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are about a 15-minute walk. The area is well-connected by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it. The train station is 1.7 km away, a 20-minute walk.

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.

About Kasteellaan 983, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it is keenly priced. The rent is 27% below the neighbourhood average of €1,739, and the apartment is a new-build with an A+++ energy label, which keeps energy costs low. However, the floor area of 51 m² is 90% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 527 m², so you are paying for efficiency and modern standards rather than space.
