Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis one-bedroom apartment on Maanplein sits in a neighbourhood that is still finding its feet. At €933 per month, the rent is 45% below the neighbourhood average of €1,702, which is keen for the area. The 65 m² floor area is 86% smaller than the Binckhorst average of 470 m², reflecting that this is a compact home in a district dominated by larger units. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in size and price.
Binckhorst is a mixed-use area where business and residential life coexist. 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 notes: "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." 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 young population, with many residents aged 25 to 45, and a high proportion of single-person households. For more on the area, see the Binckhorst neighbourhood.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn about a ten-minute walk away, with a Hoogvliet and a Jumbo also within walking distance. Primary schools include the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school just a couple of streets away, and Basisschool De Lusthof a five-minute walk from the home. Secondary options like Gymnasium Novum and Sint-Maartenscollege are also within a ten-minute walk. The area is well connected by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it.

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 7K, 'S-Gravenhage
At €933 per month, the rent is 45% below the Binckhorst average of €1,702, making it a keen price for the area. However, the apartment is also smaller than the neighbourhood average (65 m² versus 470 m²), so the price per square metre is in line with what you would expect for a compact unit in this part of Den Haag.
Binckhorst is an industrial estate with a small number of homes. Residents describe it as lacking amenities and greenery, with safety concerns in the evening. There is a very small Albert Heijn, but little else in terms of shops or nature. The area is easily accessible by bike and car, but a busy road runs through it, making some spots dangerous for cyclists.
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at 740 metres, about a ten-minute walk. A Hoogvliet is 945 metres away, and a Jumbo is just over a kilometre from the home. For daily groceries, you will need to walk a bit, as the neighbourhood itself has limited shopping options.
Several primary schools are within walking distance: the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school at 389 metres, Basisschool De Lusthof at 559 metres, and KC de Telescoop at 624 metres. For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum (638 metres) and Sint-Maartenscollege (694 metres) are both about a ten-minute walk away.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km from the home, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. The area is also well connected by car, with easy access to main roads.
The apartment has an energy label A, which means it is very efficient. You can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared to older homes with lower labels.
Residents report that the area can feel unsafe in the evening, with some street lights not working and occasional nuisance from reception centres. There is also a lot of litter. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 524, which is relatively high for the area.
