Kerkehout, Wassenaar
NeighbourhoodThis spacious apartment on the Rijksstraatweg in Wassenaar sits in a green oasis next to the Duivenvoordsepolder. With 261 m² of living space, it offers plenty of room, and the A+++ energy label means it's exceptionally efficient. The asking price of €1,150,000 is on the high side compared to other apartments in Wassenaar, but the size and quality justify it.
The neighbourhood Kerkehout is a quiet, green neighbourhood with mostly families and older residents. One resident says: "Cosy and pleasant, but absolutely no shops, and that while 25% is over 65 years old." They also note that people drive irresponsibly and dog poo is a problem. The neighbourhood has a low urbanity score (5 out of 5), meaning it's very rural in feel.
For groceries, you'll need to drive: the nearest supermarket is SPAR express about a couple of streets away, with PLUS and Hoogvliet a ten-minute walk further. The closest primary school is Bloemcampschool, just around the corner, and the Rijnlands Lyceum Wassenaar is a ten-minute walk. The municipality Wassenaar offers beautiful surroundings but limited local amenities.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Gravestate Makelaardij and also on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

Gone downhill, absolutely no local shops or small stores for basic necessities. You have to get everything by car or in Wassenaar village 7 kilometres away or in Mariahoeve, The Hague. Also no good cycling connection through the green via the meadows to Mariahoeve. The neighbourhood is in a green oasis next to the Duivenvoordsepolder. Safety: people drive their cars through the streets in an irresponsible manner. Hygiene: dog poo is a problem in many places. Housing: two streets need to be rebuilt: Jacobastraat and Adriaanstraat; houses are a hundred years old, poorly insulated and much too small. Public transport accessibility: a bus that runs along the Rijksstraatweg from The Hague to Haarlem and vice versa. An option should be Randstad traffic with a bus from station Mariahoeve, which runs via the Wittenburgerweg along the Kerkehout and then rejoins the old route, so you can also easily get to the train station Mariahoeve and tram line 6 to take into the city.

About Rijksstraatweg 713, Wassenaar
The price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Wassenaar, but the 261 m² of living space and A+++ energy label are exceptional. The neighbourhood is quiet and green, but lacks shops and has poor public transport. You're paying for space and efficiency, not for convenience.
The energy label is A+++, which is the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, so heating and electricity costs will be very low. It's a modern build (2009) with excellent insulation and likely sustainable features.
The nearest train station is 3.9 km away, so you'll need a car or bus to reach it. A bus runs along the Rijksstraatweg from The Hague to Haarlem, but the connection is not ideal for daily commuting.
No, there are no shops in the neighbourhood itself. The nearest supermarket is SPAR express at 1.8 km, which is a 20-minute walk. For a full grocery run, you'll need to drive to Wassenaar village (7 km) or Mariahoeve in The Hague.
Kerkehout is quiet and green, with many families and older residents. There are primary schools nearby, like Bloemcampschool at 553 m. However, the lack of shops and poor cycling connections mean you'll rely on a car for most errands.
The neighbourhood has 28 total crimes reported, which is low for an area of this size. However, one resident mentions that people drive irresponsibly through the streets, so road safety is a concern.
