Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodA new-build apartment in Binckhorst
This brand-new apartment on Uranusstraat sits in the Binckhorst, a neighbourhood that is very much a work in progress. At €1,145 a month, the rent is keen compared with the neighbourhood average of €1,702, partly because the 71 m² floor area is smaller than the typical Binckhorst rental. For context, the supply of apartments in Den Haag is varied, but this one stands out for its energy label A+++ and modern finish.
Binckhorst: an industrial estate with homes
Binckhorst is still largely an industrial area with a few houses, and residents are honest about its shortcomings. One resident calls it 'an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through', noting virtually no amenities, little greenery, and a busy road that makes cycling feel unsafe. Another says it's 'an industrial area with a few houses' with no supermarkets and a lot of litter. Both mention safety concerns in the evening. That said, the neighbourhood is easily accessible by bike and car, and there are plans to improve it. Based on two reviews, the picture is clear: this is a place for those who prioritise a new, efficient home over a lively community. For more context, see the Binckhorst neighbourhood.
Life on the street
For daily groceries, the nearest Jumbo and Aldi are both just around the corner, and a slightly larger Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk away. Primary schools include De Parachute (a five-minute walk) and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer (a ten-minute walk). Secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are within a fifteen-minute walk. The area is well connected by bike and car, and the train station is a twenty-minute walk. For broader context, the municipality of Den Haag offers a wide range of amenities, though Binckhorst itself is still developing.

Experiences from Binckhorst
How residents experience their neighbourhood
It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though. It's easily accessible by bike and car, but that's also because there's a very busy road running through it. This makes some places dangerous for cyclists. There's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening. Some lights don't work, and sometimes strange people are around. There isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area. There are also two reception centres that can sometimes cause nuisance in the evening and during the day (boys on fat bikes shouting things). This also makes safety less good, especially in the evening when there aren't many people around.
