Bloemenbuurt-Oost, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1921 apartment on Thomsonlaan sits in a leafy part of Den Haag, where the streets are lined with plane trees and the architecture has a stately, early-20th-century feel. At 121 m² and with energy label C, it's a spacious home that combines period character with reasonable efficiency. The asking price of €498,000 is in line with the market, the neighbourhood average for similar homes is around €485,000, so you're paying a fair price for the size and location. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one sits comfortably in the mid-range.

It's a mixed area: lots of families with children, but also plenty of singles and older residents.

Auto-translated to English by AICould be better. Had some trouble with neighbours recently because I grow cannabis
Auto-translated to English by AII live opposite a school playground, which is very nice for the children to play outside. The Fahrenheitstraat is close for practically everyone, and there are also various sports clubs in the neighbourhood. There is a super fun Halloween party every year, and the EBA (an organisation for the Aucubastraat, Egelantierstraat and Berberisstraat) is great.
Auto-translated to English by AII think it's a very nice neighbourhood, people generally get along well with each other and you have everything within reach, and if you need to go somewhere there is plenty of public transport within walking distance etc.
