Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Maanplein sits in a part of Den Haag that feels more like a work-in-progress than a settled neighbourhood. At €1,563 a month, the rent is about 10% below the local average for rentals, which makes it a relatively affordable option for the size. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one is priced keenly given its energy label A and 88 m² of space.
The Binckhorst is a mixed area where businesses and a few homes sit side by side. Based on two reviews, residents describe it as "an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through" and "an industrial area with a few houses." One resident says: "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." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." The neighbourhood has a very high density of addresses, typical of a strongly urban area. For more on the area, see Binckhorst.
For daily shopping, 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, including the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer School and Basisschool De Lusthof, both a short stroll away. Secondary schools like Gymnasium Novum and Sint-Maartenscollege are also within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Den Haag oversees the area, which is still developing its amenities.
