The asking price of €395,000 is 28% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood (€547,536). However, the apartment is also smaller than average: 79 m² versus 117 m². Recent sales in the area averaged €492,875, so this price is on the lower end, reflecting the smaller size and older energy label.
Residents give Zijlwatering en haven an 8.71 out of 10. They describe it as cosy and close-knit, where people help each other. The area has a mix of ages, with many single-person households and families. It's urban but not hectic, with a park nearby and good local amenities.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away. That's about a 10-minute drive or a 20-minute bike ride.
Dirk is just 140 metres away, so you can walk there in under two minutes. Aldi is 294 metres, and Albert Heijn is 345 metres. For organic options, Ekoplaza is 521 metres away. You have several choices within a short walk.
Basisschool Sint Jozef is 238 metres away, a short walk. Vereniging Nutsschool Wassenaar is 562 metres, and St. Bonifaciusschool is 697 metres. All are primary schools. Secondary education is 1.9 km away, so a bit further.

How residents experience their district
Just quiet and friendly
Auto-translated to English by AIJust quiet and friendly people
Auto-translated to English by AII have no opinion on this
Auto-translated to English by AIMost neighbours are friendly. And sometimes have a chat with you. There are two female co-residents who maintain the flower bed... and that is of course very kind. There have been occasional skirmishes, which is of course a bit less pleasant. But overall I feel safe here...

Auto-translated to English by AIDue to the construction work, which has now been going on for a year, our neighbourhood has really gone downhill. Both cleaning, weeds, pollution, street work, parking problems, nothing is being tackled at the moment. As a result, the living pleasure is very poor. Our complaints and reports are not taken seriously by the municipality. The Jeruzalem neighbourhood has become the dumping ground of the shopkeepers. The shopkeepers and Wassenaar Zuid determine everything. Both the layouts, the greenery, the parking spaces, the driving directions, everything is already decided before you can object.

How residents experience their municipality
The neighbourhood is quiet with little contact with the neighbours. It is otherwise relaxed, rich in nature, and of good quality. You are close to The Hague and it's a half-hour drive to Amsterdam. The lack of contact with the neighbourhood has its pros and cons. But it does provide peace. The houses are very closed off from the rest of the street, so there is little contact.
