At 81 m² it's a comfortable size, though the F energy label means heating costs will be a factor.

Valkenboskwartier: mixed reviews, central buzz
The Valkenboskwartier is a dense, urban neighbourhood with a mix of residents. One resident calls it a "very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible", while another complains "it smells very bad". A third says it's "quite noisy because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood" and notes it's "tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach". The area has a high proportion of single-person households and a young population, with many 25-45 year olds. For more context, see the municipality Den Haag page.
Daily life on the street
For your morning bread, Ekoplaza is on your doorstep, and Albert Heijn is just around the corner. Schools are a bit further out: the nearest primary, De Parachute, is about 5 km away, so you'd likely cycle or drive. There are also small shops within walking distance, as one resident mentions.

Frequently asked questions
About Valkenboskade 115, 'S-Gravenhage
Is €375,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €375,000 is 17% below the average asking price in the Valkenboskwartier (€451,726) and also below the median of €425,000. Given the 81 m² floor area, that works out to about €4,630 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,136 per m². So it's priced on the low side for the area, which may reflect the F energy label or the need for modernisation.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is F, which is poor. In the Valkenboskwartier, 40.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is at the bottom end. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more efficient home. The listing does not mention any insulation or double glazing, so it's worth factoring in potential upgrades.
How is the neighbourhood for daily shopping?
Very convenient. Ekoplaza is just 70 metres away, and Albert Heijn is 185 metres, both within a couple of minutes' walk. There are also small shops within walking distance, as one resident noted. For a larger supermarket, Jumbo and PLUS are about 600-700 metres away.
What is the public transport like?
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, the neighbourhood is well served by trams and buses, given its central location. The resident review mentions being "easily accessible" and "quickly in the centre".
How many rooms does the apartment have?
The listing does not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 81 m², it could have two or three rooms, but that is not confirmed. You would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not given, so it's unlikely there is private outdoor space. The nearest park or public garden is 1.1 km away.
What is the crime rate like in the Valkenboskwartier?
The neighbourhood recorded 614 total crimes in the latest data, which for a densely populated area with over 11,600 residents is moderate. One resident mentioned it's "tidy" and "lovely people around you", though another complained about smell and noise.

Auto-translated to English by AIQuite noisy neighbourhood because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood. You can live here in larger or smaller homes. It's tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach, for example. Lovely people around you. It's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn. There are also small shops within walking distance. There's a good driving school, Phillipo.
Auto-translated to English by AIA normal neighbourhood, not busy or anything like that. Lots of shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the hygienic condition is concerned, there is much room for improvement. This by making offenders clean up their own mess and imposing much higher fines. This does mean that there should be better monitoring and that the supervisory service should not just drive by. This prevents nuisance from pests and pollution. But it also gives a safer feeling for the entire neighbourhood.
