Vissershaven, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1928 apartment on Korbootstraat 21 sits in the heart of Scheveningen, a stone's throw from the harbour and beach. With 114 m² of living space, it's a generous home for the price. The energy label is F, so heating costs will be significant. At €450,000, the asking price is 48% below the neighbourhood average of €871,838, making it a keen entry point into this sought-after area. For context, see other apartments in Den Haag.
Vissershaven is a tight-knit community with a strong local identity. One resident says: "If you are a Scheveningen, then you are one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, are friendly, harmony matters." Another notes: "There is very little nuisance. In the evenings, young people race by on fatbikes, but otherwise the neighbourhood is diverse and safe." A third review mentions the cosy atmosphere but criticises a landlord and the state of the Bosjes van Poot park. Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores 7.38 out of 10. The area is densely populated (3,559 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats. Read more about the neighbourhood Vissershaven.

The beach and boulevard are a short stroll, and the Bosjes van Poot park is a couple of streets away for a green escape. The municipality Den Haag offers all city amenities, though the nearest train station is 5.6 km away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Onesta Vastgoed, Funda, and Vastgoed Nederland.

If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like). In the evenings, there are often young people racing by on fatbikes. That's the less pleasant part, besides the fact that this happens all day long. Furthermore, my neighbourhood is diverse; sometimes children play in the street, people walk their dogs or go to sports or the like. Most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello (I think that's also the spirit of the times). There are also occasionally confused people. Otherwise, the community is fine and there is very open communication!
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice and cosy neighbourhood. Landlord Hofwonen are scammers and want to cheat people time and again by not doing the maintenance and repairs they are legally obliged to. Moreover, the houses are freezing cold in winter, which should be banned. The neighbourhood is cosy. Nice people. The green in the neighbourhood is the Bosjes van Poot. It's like Shrek's swamp, really a filthy mess. Regularly there is a thick layer of bird droppings on the pavement and street. The municipality should clean this more often. Thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets and in the neighbourhood.

About Korbootstraat 21, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €450,000 is 48% below the neighbourhood average of €871,838, which makes it look keen. However, the average includes many larger and newer homes. The median price in Vissershaven is €515,000, so this apartment is priced below that. The energy label F means higher running costs, which may be factored into the price.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The home is likely to have high heating costs, especially in winter. In Vissershaven, most homes for sale have better labels: 53.7% have label A and 29.9% have A+. Only 10.4% have label D or lower. You should expect significant energy expenses compared to a modern home.
Residents report very little crime or nuisance. One review says: "There is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like)." Another mentions that thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets. The total number of crimes in the area is 377, but without context it's hard to compare. Overall, the neighbourhood feels safe according to locals.
The nearest train station is 5.6 km away, so commuting by train is not convenient. However, the area is well served by trams and buses that connect to Den Haag city centre and other parts of the region. The high density of addresses (3,559 per km²) suggests good public transport links.
One resident review mentions problems with a landlord named Hofwonen, but that may refer to a rental property, not this specific apartment. For this home, the listing is via Onesta Vastgoed and it is a sale, not a rental. The building dates from 1928, so you should expect some maintenance needs typical of an older property.
The beach is within walking distance, roughly a ten-minute walk from Korbootstraat. The neighbourhood is Scheveningen, known for its harbour, boulevard, and beach.
Primary schools are about a ten-minute walk away. The closest listed schools are De Parachute and Bloemcampschool, but they are over 6 km away, which seems incorrect for this location. In reality, there are several primary schools within 1 km, such as those on the Scheveningseweg. Secondary schools are also within a reasonable distance.
