Frequently asked questions
About Scheepersstraat 136, 'S-Gravenhage
Is €325,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €325,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood median of €277,000 but below the average sold price of €355,014. Given the 64 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €5,078, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,991 per m². However, the home has an A energy label, which is more efficient than most in the area (only 29% have A or better). So the price reflects that efficiency.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the second-best label on the scale. It means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs. In the neighbourhood, only about 29% of homes have label A or better, so this is a strong point.
How is the public transport connection?
The nearest train station is 2.8 km away, which is about a 35-minute walk or a short bike ride.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Transvaalkwartier-Midden is a dense, urban area with a mix of pre-war and modern homes. It has a young population, with many residents aged 25-45. The area scores high on urbanity (level 1, very strong), so expect plenty of shops, restaurants and services within walking distance. There are no resident reviews available, but the figures show a lively, family-friendly mix.
How long do homes stay on the market in this area?
Sold homes in the neighbourhood took an average of 48 days to sell, which is a reasonable pace. With 58 homes sold recently and only 16 currently available, the market is fairly active but not extremely fast.

Experiences from Transvaalkwartier
How residents experience their district
People keep to themselves, little to no nuisance, only parking is minimal.
Auto-translated to English by AIGood and quiet life, no problems. Help each other and live together and chat with each other
Auto-translated to English by AIVery good and working on the change of the neighbourhood and also doing activities in the neighbourhood house.
Auto-translated to English by AII grew up in Transvaal from a young age, so I haven't really been able to experience other neighbourhoods, but it's a chill place where everything you need is, besides being behind the centre of The Hague.
Auto-translated to English by AITransvaal is a working-class neighbourhood, which can be very cosy but also very busy. Often arguments due to Eastern Europeans and a lot of rubbish on the street and around the container. Perhaps the warning could also be in Turkish/Bulgarian. The municipality does work very hard to keep it clean. Many amenities in the form of shops with foreign products, the Haagse Markt, etc. Enough schools. There could be more green spaces. Many elderly people live completely alone in a 5/6-room house, while on the other hand entire families have to make do with 1/2 rooms. These elderly people should really be offered a better deal: a smaller home, but without suddenly having to pay much more rent. Plenty of play areas, both for little ones and older children (football cages, for example). The community centre also offers many opportunities for both children and adults. Various activities to keep the youth off the streets. In short, I enjoy living here very much.
Auto-translated to English by AIHave lived here for 20 years, also went to primary school here. It's a busy neighbourhood where a lot happens, there are many shops, but actually not much to do.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn this neighbourhood there are several playgrounds, and many tram and bus stops. So it is easy to reach and there is the possibility to move around quickly if you want to go somewhere and you don't have a front garden. There are also many small shops and supermarkets in the area. Dentists, GPs, pharmacies, shops, supermarkets etc. are all in the neighbourhood (within walking distance). The same goes for primary schools, there are many different primary schools in the area. I am largely satisfied with the community. Especially those on my street and around it. Unfortunately, there is occasionally some litter around the waste containers in the neighbourhood. Overall, I am satisfied with my neighbourhood.
