Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis two-year-old apartment on Melkwegstraat sits in a neighbourhood that is still finding its feet. At €933 per month, the rent is 46% below the local average, a keen price for a 55 m² home with an A energy label. For context, the average apartment in Den Haag goes for more, so this is a relatively affordable option in the city's rental market. Apartments in Den Haag are scarce at this price point.
Binckhorst is a mixed-use area where businesses and residences 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 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 area is densely built (over 3,700 addresses per km²) and has a young population, most residents are between 25 and 45. Neighbourhood Binckhorst is a work in progress.
For daily shopping, the nearest Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away, with Hoogvliet and Jumbo a couple of streets further. There are several primary schools within walking distance: the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school is just around the corner, and KC de Telescoop is a five-minute walk. The municipality Den Haag is investing in the area, but for now, you'll rely on the city centre for most amenities.

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.
