AreaA compact apartment in the Binckhorst
This rental apartment on Saturnusstraat sits in the Binckhorst, a neighbourhood that is more industrial estate than residential area. The listing did not state a year of construction or an energy label, so the rest of this page was mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €966 per month, the rent was 42% below the neighbourhood average of €1,657, which made it a keen price for the area.

The Binckhorst as residents see it
Based on two reviews, the Binckhorst scores 4.19 out of 5, but the comments are far from glowing. 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." Both mention the busy road running through, which makes cycling feel unsafe, and the lack of a real community because of the many businesses. The neighbourhood is home to about 2,075 people, with a high share of single-person households. [The municipality of Den Haag]( /gemeente/s-gravenhage/) is working on improving the area, but it remains a work in progress.
Life on the street
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn about a ten-minute walk away, with a Hoogvliet and a Jumbo a couple of streets further. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer just around the corner and KC de Telescoop a bit further. The train station is 1.7 km away, and a restaurant is on your doorstep. The area is easily accessible by bike and car, though the busy road is a drawback.
