Frequently asked questions
About Laan Van Meerdervoort 509, 'S-Gravenhage
Is the rent of €2,500 reasonable for this apartment?
The rent is 75% above the neighbourhood average of €1,429, but the floor area is 51% larger than the average of 77 m². So you're paying more for significantly more space. Whether it's good value depends on your priorities, the larger size and central location may justify the premium, but it's on the higher end for the area.
What does the energy label E mean for this home?
Energy label E is on the lower end of the scale, so you can expect higher energy bills compared to a home with a better label. The label reflects the overall energy performance, which can be influenced by the heating system and insulation. It's worth factoring these running costs into your budget alongside the rent.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
A PLUS supermarket is just 156 metres away, so you can pop out for groceries in a couple of minutes. An Albert Heijn is 485 metres away, about a five-minute walk, and there's an Ekoplaza at 549 metres. Several other options, including a Jumbo, are within 700 metres, giving you plenty of choice for daily shopping.
What are the schools like near this apartment?
The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 5.1 km away, which is a bit of a distance. Other primary schools, such as WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer, are around 5.5 to 5.7 km away. If you have school-age children, you may want to consider the commute.
How noisy is the neighbourhood?
One resident review mentions the area can be "quite noisy" because it's next to a busy road, but otherwise describes it as a "very nice neighbourhood." Another review is positive about the location, noting it's near the centre and easily accessible. Noise levels can vary depending on exactly where you are in the neighbourhood.
Is this apartment suitable for a family?
With 116 m² of space, this apartment is roomy enough for a family. The neighbourhood has a mix of households, including families with children, and one review specifically calls it a "good neighbourhood for families." However, the nearest primary school is over 5 km away, which could be a consideration for daily school runs.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is about 4 km away. That's a manageable distance if you drive or cycle, but it's not within easy walking distance. For regular commuters, you might want to factor in the travel time to the station, though the neighbourhood itself is well connected to the centre of The Hague.
