A new apartment in Binckhorst
This brand-new apartment on Melkwegstraat sits in Binckhorst, a neighbourhood that is clearly still finding its feet. The building went up in 2024, so everything is fresh and unused. At €1,480 per month, the rent sits 16% below the neighbourhood average of €1,760, which makes it a keen price for the size. For context, apartments in Den Haag typically go for more.
Binckhorst, as residents see it
Binckhorst is an industrial estate with a few houses, and the reviews reflect that. 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. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." Based on two reviews, the average score is 4.19 out of 5. The area is easily accessible by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it. The neighbourhood is home to many young adults, with 63% aged 25 to 45.
Life on the street
The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn, just under a kilometre away, so daily shopping is a short trip. A Hoogvliet and a Jumbo are a bit further, around 1.2 kilometres. For school runs, the closest primary school is the Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer, about 350 metres away, with KC de Telescoop. The train station is 1.4 kilometres off, which makes commuting straightforward. The municipality of Den Haag covers a wide area, so amenities beyond the immediate neighbourhood are within reach.
