Frequently asked questions
About Mariottestraat 21, 'S-Gravenhage
Is €2,495 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 59% above the neighbourhood average of €1,572, which makes it a high-end option for the Valkenboskwartier. The apartment offers 86 m² of space, which is above the average size of 77 m² for rentals in the area. Whether it is fair depends on what you value, but the price clearly sits at the top of the local market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration, recorded in the national EP-Online database. A D label is in the middle of the scale, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared to the most efficient homes, but it is not the least efficient either. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
The Albert Heijn is just 268 metres away, so it is on your doorstep. Ekoplaza is 346 metres away, and a Jumbo is 541 metres from the apartment. There are also several other Albert Heijn branches within 700 metres, giving you plenty of choice for daily shopping.
What are the schools like in the area?
The nearest primary schools are De Parachute at 4.6 km and WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla at 5 km. Both are within a short drive, though not within walking distance. There are also several other primary schools within 5.5 km, so families have options, but the commute to school will take some time.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 4 km away. This means you will need to cycle, drive, or take a bus to reach it. The distance is manageable but not walkable, so factor in the extra travel time if you rely on rail for commuting.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
One resident describes it as a "good neighbourhood for families," noting it is tidy and friendly, though it can be noisy due to a busy road. The area has a mix of household types, with 23% of households having children. It is a central location, close to the centre and the beach, which families may appreciate.
