Zuidwal, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Prinsegracht sits in the heart of The Hague, where the 17th-century building tells a story of the city's Golden Age. At 94 m², it's a generous size for a historic apartment, and the C energy label is reasonable for a home from 1675. The asking price of €695,000 is 36% above the neighbourhood average of €510,613, which is on the high side, but then, this is a rare property in a sought-after street. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and character.
Zuidwal is a dense, urban neighbourhood with over 7,400 residents packed into a small area. It's a place of contrasts: one resident calls it a "multicultural neighbourhood with many amenities" and notes "increasing greenery, everything in the neighbourhood." Another describes it as "very centrally located in the shopping district and easily accessible by public transport or bike," but adds that streets are "usually very busy at weekends" and there can be "an unsafe atmosphere on the streets at night." Based on two reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.6 out of 10. Most homes here were built before 1945, and only 13% are owner-occupied, so this apartment is part of a small minority. The neighbourhood Zuidwal is undeniably central, but it's not for everyone.
For groceries, you have a SPAR express just around the corner, and several Albert Heijns within a five-minute walk. Daily shopping is easy. Schools are a bit further out: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about a ten-minute walk away, and secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege are a similar distance. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of cultural amenities, with a restaurant on your doorstep and a library a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Vastiva and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Prinsegracht 172B, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 36% above the average asking price in Zuidwal (€510,613) and well above the median of €467,500. However, this is a historic apartment on a prime canal in the city centre, and comparable properties are rare. The price per m² (€7,394) is also higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,148. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the location and character.
