Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis modern apartment in the Binckhorst feels fresh and efficient, with an A energy label and a layout that makes the most of its 83 m². The neighbourhood is still finding its feet, part industrial estate, part residential, and the rent of €1,465 is 16% below the neighbourhood average, which makes it a keen option compared to other apartments in Den Haag.
Based on two reviews, residents describe the Binckhorst 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." 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 (3,743 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats, with a young population, over half are between 25 and 45. The municipality Den Haag is working on redevelopment, but for now the Binckhorst feels more like a business park than a residential community.
For groceries, 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. A secondary school, Gymnasium Novum, is about 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 Melkwegstraat 43D, 'S-Gravenhage
Yes, it is competitive. The rent is 16% below the neighbourhood average of €1,739, and the apartment is new with an A energy label. However, the floor area of 83 m² is much smaller than the neighbourhood average of 527 m², which includes larger units. Compared to other apartments in Den Haag, this price is on the lower side for a new-build.
The Binckhorst is an industrial area with a few houses, currently in transition. Residents report few amenities, little 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 community is small due to many businesses and two reception centres.
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn about 1 km away, which is a ten-minute walk. Other supermarkets like Hoogvliet, Jumbo, and Aldi are within 1.2 to 1.3 km, so a bit further but still walkable.
Yes, there are several primary schools within walking distance. The closest is the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school at 345 m, followed by KC de Telescoop at 606 m. For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum is 867 m away.
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. This means low energy costs for heating and electricity, and the home is well-insulated. As a new-build from 2024, it meets modern standards.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride.
Residents mention safety concerns, especially in the evening. One review notes that some lights don't work and there can be nuisance from reception centres. The total number of crimes in the area is 524, but this figure covers a broad area.
