Binckhorst, Den Haag
This two-bedroom apartment on Saturnusstraat is part of a lively, evolving part of Den Haag. The listing does not state a year of construction or an energy label, so the focus here is on the location and the neighbourhood. At €1,320 per month, the rent sits well below the average for rentals in the area, which makes it a keen option for those looking to live in this part of the city. For a sense of what's available, you can compare with other apartments in Den Haag.
Binckhorst is an industrial area with a handful of homes, and residents are candid about its character. 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 mixed: it's easily accessible by bike and car, but a busy road runs through it, and safety in the evening is a concern. The neighbourhood is home to many young adults, with a high proportion of single-person households. For more context, see the Binckhorst.
For daily errands, the nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn, about a ten-minute walk away, with a Hoogvliet and a Jumbo a bit further. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer and KC de Telescoop, as well as secondary options like Gymnasium Novum. The area is well connected for cyclists and drivers, and the train station is about 1.7 km away. For a broader view of the surroundings, you can look at the municipality of Den Haag.

The nearest supermarket is an Albert Heijn, about 926 metres away, which is roughly a ten-minute walk. Other options include a Hoogvliet at 1.1 km and a Jumbo at 1.2 km. For daily shopping, you would likely need to walk or cycle, as the closest options are not on your doorstep.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though. It's easily accessible by bike and car, but that's also because there's a very busy road running through it. This makes some places dangerous for cyclists. There's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening. Some lights don't work, and sometimes strange people are around. There isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area. There are also two reception centres that can sometimes cause nuisance in the evening and during the day (boys on fat bikes shouting things). This also makes safety less good, especially in the evening when there aren't many people around.
