A rental apartment in the Binckhorst
This rental apartment on Saturnusstraat sits in the Binckhorst, a neighbourhood in Den Haag that is very much in transition. This listing does not state a year of construction or an energy label. As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,190 per month for 60 m², the rent sits well below the neighbourhood average of €1,658, so it is keenly priced compared with other rentals in the area. For a sense of the wider market, you can compare it with apartments in Den Haag.
The Binckhorst
Residents describe the Binckhorst as an industrial area 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 picture is of a place that is still finding its identity, with a busy road running through it and a limited sense of community. The population is young, with 63% of residents aged between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. For more context on the area, see the municipality of Den Haag.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the nearest Albert Heijn is just under a kilometre away, with a Hoogvliet and a Jumbo a little further on. The closest primary school, Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer, is a short walk from the street, and there are several other primary options within a few hundred metres. Secondary education is available at Gymnasium Novum, roughly 800 metres away. The train station is 1.4 km from the home, which is a manageable distance for commuting.
