Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Maanplein sits in a neighbourhood that is still finding its feet. At €1,407 per month, the rent is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €1,739, which makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Den Haag. The 70 m² floor area is compact, but the energy label A keeps running costs low.
Binckhorst is an industrial area where a few houses have been added. One resident describes it as "an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through." They note that amenities are scarce: a very small Albert Heijn recently opened but you can hardly buy anything there. Another resident calls it "an industrial area with a few houses," adding that there is no greenery, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood, and quite a lot of litter. Both reviews mention safety concerns in the evening. The neighbourhood has a very high density of 3,743 addresses per km², and most residents are between 25 and 45 years old. For more context, see the municipality Den Haag page.
For daily groceries, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and a Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance: the Protestant Christian primary school Groen van Prinsterer is a five-minute walk, and Basisschool De Lusthof is about the same. For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum is a ten-minute walk. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and a park is a ten-minute walk away.

It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though. It's easily accessible by bike and car, but that's also because there's a very busy road running through it. This makes some places dangerous for cyclists. There's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening. Some lights don't work, and sometimes strange people are around. There isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area. There are also two reception centres that can sometimes cause nuisance in the evening and during the day (boys on fat bikes shouting things). This also makes safety less good, especially in the evening when there aren't many people around.

About Maanplein 1V, 'S-Gravenhage
The rent of €1,407 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €1,739, so it is on the lower side for Binckhorst. However, the apartment is smaller than average (70 m² vs 527 m² average), so the price per square metre is actually higher than the neighbourhood average of €20.12. Overall, it is a market-rate price for a modern, energy-efficient home.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means you can expect low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes. The apartment was built in 2000, so it meets modern insulation standards.
Residents report mixed feelings about safety. One review mentions that some street lights don't work and that there can be strange people around in the evening, making it feel unsafe. Another says it is "quite dangerous in the evening." The total number of crimes in the neighbourhood is 524, but without a per-capita figure it is hard to compare.
Amenities are limited within the neighbourhood itself. There is a small Albert Heijn just around the corner (696 m), but residents say it is not well-stocked. A Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away (900 m). For schools, there are several primary schools within a five-minute walk. A restaurant is on your doorstep (400 m), and a park is a ten-minute walk away (1 km). The train station is 1.7 km away.
The neighbourhood has a mix of residents, but only 185 households have children out of a total of 1,080 households. Most residents are between 25 and 45 years old. Reviews mention a lack of greenery and community, and the presence of businesses and reception centres. It may not be the first choice for families with young children.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk. The neighbourhood is well-connected by bike and car, but a busy road runs through it, which can be dangerous for cyclists.
