Vogelwijk, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1925 apartment on Koekoeklaan sits in the leafy Vogelwijk, a neighbourhood where detached and semi-detached houses line quiet streets. At 114 m² it's a good size for an older apartment, and the C label means heating costs are moderate. The asking price of €575,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €1,117,333, partly because it's an apartment, not a house. For context, apartments in Den Haag typically sell for less than the area's mostly family homes.
Vogelwijk scores an 8.13 out of 10 from four reviews. One resident says: "Safe neighbourhood with lots of nature, just a bit lacking in amenities." Another describes it as "very 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." The area is predominantly families (45% of households have children) and older residents (21% are 65+). Most homes are owner-occupied (90%) and three-quarters were built before 1945. The neighbourhood Vogelwijk is one of The Hague's greener corners.
Daily shopping is easy: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and PLUS are a couple of streets away. For primary schools, De Parachute and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla are within walking distance. The Vogelwijkpark is a five-minute stroll, perfect for a weekend walk. The beach is a short bike ride, and the city centre is about half an hour by bike or tram.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Van der Kallen Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on Pararius.

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.
