A modern apartment on the edge of the Binckhorst
This apartment on Maanplein sits in the Binckhorst, a neighbourhood that is clearly in transition. Built in 2000, it has an energy label A, which means it is very efficient to run. The rent of €1,383 is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €1,771, so it is keenly priced compared with other rentals in the area. For context, this is one of the apartments in Den Haag currently on the market.
The Binckhorst: an industrial area with a few houses
Residents describe the Binckhorst as "an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through" and "an industrial area with a few houses." Based on two reviews, the picture is mixed: there is little greenery, few amenities, and some concerns about safety in the evening. One resident notes that "there's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening," while another mentions "no greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood." The area is, however, "easily accessible by bike and car," and there is an effort to improve it. The population is young, with 63% aged 25 to 45, and most households are single people. This is a neighbourhood in flux, part of the municipality of Den Haag's wider redevelopment plans.
Daily life around Maanplein
For daily shopping, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with a Hoogvliet a couple of streets away and a Jumbo within a ten-minute walk. For schools, there are several primary options nearby, including Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer and Basisschool De Lusthof, both within a short walk. Secondary schools like Gymnasium Novum and Sint-Maartenscollege are also close. The train station is about 1.4 km away, so a ten-minute walk or short cycle gets you to the rails. The area is well connected by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it, which residents say can make cycling feel less safe in places.

About Maanplein 1L, 'S-Gravenhage
Is €1,383 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,383 is 22% below the average for rentals in the Binckhorst, which stands at €1,771. The median rent in the neighbourhood is €1,542, so this apartment is priced below both the average and the median. Given the 76 m² floor area and the energy label A, the rent is on the low side compared with other listings in the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's energy performance as certified.
How far is the nearest supermarket?
The nearest Albert Heijn is about 698 metres away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. A Hoogvliet is at 901 metres, and a Jumbo at 1,074 metres. So daily groceries are within walking distance, though residents note that the choice within the neighbourhood itself is limited.
What are the schools like nearby?
There are several primary schools within a short walk, including Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer at 350 metres and Basisschool De Lusthof at 529 metres. For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum is at 647 metres and Sint-Maartenscollege at 713 metres. So school runs are manageable on foot or by bike.
How safe is the Binckhorst in the evening?
Residents have mixed feelings about safety in the evening. One review mentions that "it can be unsafe in the evening" and that "some lights don't work," while another says it is "quite dangerous in the evening." There are also mentions of nuisance from reception centres and litter. It is an area with few people around after dark, so it may feel less secure.
Is there much greenery or community in the Binckhorst?
Residents say there is "basically no nature" and "no greenery in the Binckhorst." The area is largely industrial, with many businesses, so there isn't a strong community feel. One review notes that "there isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area." Efforts are being made to improve the neighbourhood, but it remains a work in progress.
