A new apartment in Binckhorst
This is a brand-new apartment on Saturnusstraat in Binckhorst, a neighbourhood in Den Haag that is clearly still finding its feet. The listing does not state an energy label, so the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself. At €1,229 per month, the rent sits 29% below the neighbourhood average of €1,731, which makes it a keen price for the area. For context, this is one of the apartments in Den Haag currently on the market.
Binckhorst through residents' eyes
Binckhorst is an industrial estate with a handful of houses, and the two residents who reviewed it are honest about its rough edges. One 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 it, which makes cycling feel unsafe in places. The neighbourhood is home to many young adults, with 63% of residents aged between 25 and 45, and most households are single people. It is easily accessible by bike and car, but that comes with the traffic. For a fuller picture, you can look at the municipality of Den Haag as a whole.
Daily life on Saturnusstraat
For daily shopping, the nearest Albert Heijn is about a ten-minute walk away, with a Jumbo and an Aldi just a bit further. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer and KC de Telescoop, both around a five-minute walk. Secondary education is also close by, with Gymnasium Novum about a ten-minute walk from the door. The train station is 1.4 km away, which is roughly a twenty-minute walk or a short cycle. It is a practical spot for getting around, even if the immediate surroundings are still developing.
