Thérèse Schwartzestraat 116

A classic apartment in a leafy pocket of Den Haag

This apartment on Thérèse Schwartzestraat sits in the quiet, green Uilennest neighbourhood, part of the well-to-do Benoordenhout district. At 70 m² it's a compact home, but the layout makes the most of the space. The price of €400,000 is 48% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €765,900, which puts it on the keen side, especially when you consider that the average price per m² in the area is €5,602. For context, the neighbourhood has only five apartments for sale at the moment, so supply is limited. If you're looking at apartments in Den Haag, this one stands out for its value.

Uilennest, a quiet, green enclave

Uilennest is a small, residential neighbourhood with a village-like feel, despite being within Den Haag. It's known for its leafy streets and detached houses, though this apartment is in a low-rise block. The area has a high proportion of older residents, nearly a quarter of the population is 65 or over, and many single-person households. One resident describes it as "Super beautiful and city and beach close to home", adding that it's "quite good except that there are many elderly people living there". That's based on a single review, so take it as one perspective. The neighbourhood has a low crime rate (60 total offences) and is very walkable, with a park or public garden just a couple of streets away. For more on the area, see the Uilennest neighbourhood.
