Voorhout, Den Haag
This apartment on Smidswater 3B sits in the heart of the city, where the streets hum with life and history. At 81 m² it's a compact home, but the high ceilings and period details give it a sense of space. The price of €399,000 is 57% below the neighbourhood average of €938,284, which is keen for the area, especially given the size. For context, apartments in Den Haag typically command higher prices per square metre.
Voorhout is a quiet pocket in the bustling city centre, with a buzzing shopping street just around the corner. One resident describes it as "Quiet neighbourhood with a bustling shopping street around the corner", a balance that's hard to find. The area is dense and urban, with mostly smaller households: many singles and few families. Average incomes are above the city norm, and the streets are lined with restaurants and cafes. This is the Voorhout neighbourhood at its best.
Your daily routine here is a short walk: bread and milk from SPAR (just around the corner) or Albert Heijn (a five-minute walk). For school runs, primary and secondary schools are both about a ten-minute walk away. The train station is a ten-minute walk too, and the city's museums and parks are on your doorstep. It's a neighbourhood where you can leave the car behind and still get everywhere you need.
At the time of writing the home is listed via RE/MAX and also appears on Funda and Vastgoed Nederland, so it's available through several channels. The energy label is G, the least efficient label, so expect high heating costs. The listing is current as of today.

Energy label G is the least efficient label on the scale. It means the home's energy performance is low, so you can expect relatively high heating and electricity costs.
