Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Melkwegstraat is part of a brand-new development in the Binckhorst, an area of Den Haag that is very much in transition. With an energy label A, it is efficient and modern. The rent of €933 is notably lower than the neighbourhood average of €1,702, which makes it a keen price for a new home. For context, this is one of the apartments in Den Haag currently available.
The Binckhorst is still largely an industrial estate, and the two residents who reviewed it describe it as having virtually no amenities. 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." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood." Both mention safety concerns in the evening and litter. The neighbourhood has a high address density of 3,743 addresses per km², typical of a very strongly urban area. It is a young neighbourhood, with most residents between 25 and 45 years old. For more context, see the Binckhorst neighbourhood.
For daily groceries, the nearest Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away, and a Hoogvliet and Jumbo are a bit further. There are several primary schools within walking distance, such as Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer (a five-minute walk) and KC de Telescoop (a couple of streets away). The area is well-connected by bike and car, with a busy road running through. The municipality of Den Haag is working on redeveloping the area, as noted in the municipality of Den Haag information.

Yes, the rent of €933 is well below the neighbourhood average of €1,702 for rental homes. However, the floor area of 55 m² is also smaller than the neighbourhood average of 470 m². So you are paying less for a smaller space, but the price per square metre is competitive for a new-build with an A energy label.
Binckhorst is an industrial area with a few residential buildings. Residents describe it as having few amenities, no greenery, and safety concerns in the evening. There is a small Albert Heijn, but it is limited. The area is easily accessible by bike and car, but a busy road runs through it. The neighbourhood is being redeveloped, so it may change over time.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride.
The closest supermarket is an Albert Heijn at 985 metres, about a ten-minute walk. Other supermarkets like Hoogvliet, Jumbo, and Aldi are within 1.2 to 1.3 km, so a bit further.
There are several primary schools within walking distance, such as Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer (354 m) and KC de Telescoop (614 m). For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum is about 877 m away.
Yes, the apartment has an energy label A, which means it is very efficient. You can expect low heating costs compared to older homes.
Currently, there are 40 rental homes available in the neighbourhood, with prices ranging from €669 to €4,900. The average rent is €1,702, so this apartment is on the lower end.
Residents report that the area can feel unsafe in the evening, with some 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 size.
How residents experience their neighbourhood
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.
