Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1909 apartment on Newtonplein in the Valkenboskwartier has been brought up to an A energy label, so you get the charm of a period home without the draughts. At 116 m² it's a generous size for an apartment, and the asking price of €599,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Den Haag, but the combination of space and efficiency is rare.
The Valkenboskwartier gets a 7.75 out of 10 from five residents. One resident calls it a "very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible". Another says it's "quite noisy because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood" and notes that "it's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn". A third review is less flattering: "it smells very bad". The neighbourhood is densely built-up with mostly pre-war housing, and it's home to many single-person households.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. There are also several primary schools within walking distance, including De Parachute and the Protestant Christian primary school Groen van Prinsterer. The municipality Den Haag keeps the city well connected, with a train station about 4 km away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Jimmy Vastgoed B.V. and also appears on another channel.

Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible

Auto-translated to English by AIQuite noisy neighbourhood because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood. You can live here in larger or smaller homes. It's tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach, for example. Lovely people around you. It's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn. There are also small shops within walking distance. There's a good driving school, Phillipo.
Auto-translated to English by AIA normal neighbourhood, not busy or anything like that. Lots of shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the hygienic condition is concerned, there is much room for improvement. This by making offenders clean up their own mess and imposing much higher fines. This does mean that there should be better monitoring and that the supervisory service should not just drive by. This prevents nuisance from pests and pollution. But it also gives a safer feeling for the entire neighbourhood.

About Newtonplein 5, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 33% above the neighbourhood average of €451,726, but this apartment is larger (116 m² vs 94 m² average) and has an A energy label, which is rare in an area where 93% of homes were built before 1945. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the combination of space and efficiency.
Residents give it a 7.75 out of 10. Positives include being close to the centre and having shops within walking distance. Negatives are noise from a busy road and occasional unpleasant smells. It's a dense, urban neighbourhood with many singles and a mix of housing.
Albert Heijn is about 240 metres away, just a couple of minutes' walk. Jumbo is 260 metres, and there's another Albert Heijn at 400 metres. So daily groceries are very convenient.
Primary schools within walking distance include De Parachute (about 4.5 km) and the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer (5 km). For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege is about 5.3 km away. Note that distances are measured from the postcode, not the exact address.
It has an A energy label, which is excellent for a 1909 building. In the neighbourhood, only 21% of homes have label A and 8% have A+. So this apartment is much more efficient than most, meaning lower heating costs.
The CBS recorded 614 total crimes in the neighbourhood, but without a per-capita figure it's hard to judge. The area is densely populated with over 11,600 residents, so context matters. One resident review mentions it's "tidy" and has "lovely people".
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance but is reachable by bike or bus.
