At €550,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the 30 homes currently for sale in Vogelwijk and 51% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €1,117,333. However, its floor area (114 m²) is 27% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 156 m². Given the location and character, the price is keen but reflects the smaller size.
Vogelwijk is a quiet, green neighbourhood with a strong community feel. Residents describe it as safe, clean, and family-friendly, with lots of nature and little car traffic. You're minutes from the beach and half an hour from the city centre. Amenities are somewhat limited, but daily shopping and schools are within walking distance.
The nearest train station is 6 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bike, car, or bus to reach it. The neighbourhood is better suited for those who cycle or drive.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war home. It means the home has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds. Heating costs will be moderate, but you can expect higher bills than a label A home.
Yes, primary schools De Parachute and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla are about a ten-minute walk away. There are also secondary schools within a short cycle, such as Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum. The neighbourhood is family-oriented with good school options.
Albert Heijn is just around the corner (363 m), with Jumbo and PLUS about 700-800 m away. For a larger shop, Hoogvliet is under 1 km. Daily groceries are very convenient.

Safe neighbourhood with lots of nature, just a bit lacking in amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood, I've lived here since birth. You're at the beach in a few minutes and in the city centre in half an hour. Quiet area, lots of green, good community. You know the whole street and neighbours regularly come by for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. It's a clean neighbourhood without litter lying around, many detached and semi-detached houses. Helderingschool and RKBS De Parkiet are less than 5 minutes apart. There is also room for special education. There is little car traffic, many people cycle in the neighbourhood. This gives a lot of peace.
Auto-translated to English by AIDe Vogelwijk in The Hague is really a nice place! It's so quiet and green, perfect for a relaxing walk. You can stroll through the Vogelwijkpark, enjoy nature, and maybe even spot some local animals. It just feels very pleasant to be there, especially when the sun is shining!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy parents and I have been living in De Vogelwijk for 5 years now and we like it. Apart from the relatively high average age, quite a lot still happens. There are many schools in the neighbourhood and plenty of space for children to play outside. There are no high-rise buildings, so it's very light everywhere. The location is great because the sea is a 10-minute walk away and the Jumbo, hairdresser, baker and Kruidvat are even closer. It's usually very quiet in the evenings, except when there's been a party at the Westwood, but even that is minimal. Overall, I think De Vogelwijk is a nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
