Bloemenbuurt-Oost, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1955 apartment on the Larixstraat sits in a quiet, green pocket of the Bloemenbuurt-Oost. With 90 m² and an energy label C, it offers a solid base for someone who wants a classic post-war flat with character. The asking price of €495,000 is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €485,044, but given the size and the fact that only 34 apartments are currently for sale in the area, it's in line with what you'd expect for a well-maintained home here. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one sits in a sought-after price bracket.
The Bloemenbuurt-Oost has a distinctly village-like atmosphere, with wide streets, mature trees and a mix of pre-war and post-war architecture. One resident describes it as "a neighbourhood with a somewhat village-like character. Cosy, friendly with a pleasant social character. Beautiful architecture and lots of greenery." Another notes the strong community spirit: "There is a super fun Halloween party every year, and the EBA (an organisation for the Aucubastraat, Egelantierstraat and Berberisstraat) is great." The area is densely populated (over 5,000 addresses per km²) and home to a mix of ages, with many families and older residents. It's a place where people tend to stay put.

The Fahrenheitstraat, the main shopping street, is a five-minute walk and has a good range of shops and cafes. There are several primary schools nearby, including De Parachute and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla, both within a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood also has a library, a park and a restaurant within easy reach. The municipality Den Haag keeps the area well-maintained, and the tram stops on the Fahrenheitstraat connect you to the city centre in about 15 minutes.

Auto-translated to English by AII live opposite a school playground, which is very nice for the children to play outside. The Fahrenheitstraat is close for practically everyone, and there are also various sports clubs in the neighbourhood. There is a super fun Halloween party every year, and the EBA (an organisation for the Aucubastraat, Egelantierstraat and Berberisstraat) is great.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice neighbourhood, people generally get along well with each other and you have everything within reach, and if you need to go somewhere there is plenty of public transport within walking distance etc.

About Larixstraat 20, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €495,000 is slightly above the average sale price in the Bloemenbuurt-Oost (€485,044) and above the median of €430,000. However, this apartment is 90 m², which is a bit smaller than the neighbourhood average of 106 m², so the price per m² (€5,500) is higher than the average of €4,648. Given that only 34 apartments are for sale and homes sell in about 43 days on average, the price is in line with the current market.
The apartment has an energy label C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, about 24% of homes have label C, while 32% have a lower rating (D or worse). Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not as efficient as a modern A-rated home, but it's not a money pit either.
The Bloemenbuurt-Oost is popular with families. About 30% of households have children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. Residents mention the school playground opposite as a plus for kids, and the annual Halloween party organised by the neighbourhood association adds to the community feel. The area has a low crime rate (263 total crimes per year) and plenty of green spaces nearby.
The nearest tram stop is on the Fahrenheitstraat, about a five-minute walk away, with lines to the city centre and The Hague Central station. The train station is 5.4 km away, so for longer journeys you'd need a tram or bike to the station.
The apartment was built in 1955, so it's a post-war construction. The energy label C suggests the building has some insulation, but it's not as efficient as modern standards. The listing does not mention any specific issues, and the neighbourhood has a mix of well-maintained homes. It's always a good idea to have a structural survey done, but that's not specific to this property.
The average price per m² for apartments in Den Haag is around €4,500-€5,000, so this apartment at €5,500/m² is on the higher side. However, the Bloemenbuurt-Oost is a desirable neighbourhood with a village feel, which commands a premium. The limited supply (only 34 apartments for sale) also supports the price.
