Frequently asked questions
About Valkenboslaan 185, 'S-Gravenhage
Is €2,450 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 71% above the neighbourhood average of €1,429, which puts it on the high side. However, this apartment is 91 m², which is larger than the average rental in the area, and it has an A energy label, so heating costs should be low. The price reflects the size and efficiency, but it is still a premium compared to other rentals in the Valkenboskwartier.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is officially registered as having low energy consumption, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity bills. The label is an official registration from EP-Online and does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How close is the nearest supermarket?
The Albert Heijn is just 45 metres away, so you can be there in under a minute. There is also an Ekoplaza at 196 metres and a Jumbo at 463 metres, giving you several options for daily groceries within a short walk.
What are the schools like nearby?
The nearest primary school is De Parachute, about 4.7 km away. Other primary schools, such as WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer, are around 5 km away. These are all within a reasonable distance, though not on the doorstep.
How noisy is the neighbourhood?
One resident mentions that the neighbourhood can be "quite noisy" because it is next to a busy road, but they also say it is otherwise a very nice place to live. Another resident appreciates the quiet and tidy streets. Noise levels can vary depending on exactly where you are in the area.
Is the neighbourhood good for families?
One resident describes it as a "Good neighbourhood for families," noting that you can live in larger or smaller homes and that it is tidy. The CBS data shows that 23% of households have children, while 54% are single-person households, so the area has a mix of family and single residents.
