Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Professor Kaiserstraat sits in the lively Valkenboskwartier, a neighbourhood that blends city energy with a village-like feel. At €345,000, the asking price is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €451,726, which makes it a keen entry point into this part of The Hague. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one stands out for its efficiency and location.
The Valkenboskwartier is a dense, urban area with a very high address density (8,568 per km²). It's home to a diverse mix of ages, with a large share of 25-45 year olds. One resident says: "Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible." Another notes: "Quite 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." A third review mentions "unhygienic, it stinks", so experiences vary. Based on five reviews, the average score is 7.75. The municipality Den Haag offers a wide range of amenities, and this neighbourhood is no exception.
For your morning bread, the Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo and Ekoplaza are a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Parachute and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer, though they are a bit further out. A restaurant is on your doorstep, and a GP practice is a five-minute walk away. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of pre-war housing (93%), and this 1906 apartment fits that character.

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 Professor Kaiserstraat 21, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €345,000 is 24% below the neighbourhood average of €451,726, and also below the median of €425,000. However, the floor area of 45 m² is 52% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 94 m². So the price per square metre (€7,667) is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,136. It's a compact home in a central location, which explains the premium per m².
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home is well-insulated and you can expect relatively low energy costs. In the neighbourhood, only 21.4% of homes have label A, and 8% have A+ or better, so this apartment is above average in energy performance.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away. That's about a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride. The neighbourhood is well-connected by other public transport, but for intercity trains you'd need to head to Den Haag Centraal or Hollands Spoor.
The Valkenboskwartier has a mix of households: about 24% have children, 24% are couples without children, and 58% are single-person households. One resident says it's a "good neighbourhood for families", though another mentions noise from a busy road. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and a child daycare centre is just 0.3 km away.
There are currently 104 homes for sale in the Valkenboskwartier, with an average asking price of €451,726. The average floor area is 94 m², so this 45 m² apartment is on the smaller side.
