Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Valkenboslaan sits in a lively part of The Hague, with the original 1913 features you'd expect from a home of this era. At 107 m² it's a good size for a flat, and the E label means heating costs will be something to factor in. With a price of €475,000, it's a touch above the neighbourhood average of €447,510, so it's on the high side, but that reflects the larger floor area compared to the typical 95 m² in the area. For context, this is one of 99 apartments currently for sale in Valkenboskwartier, and you can see how it compares to other apartments in Den Haag.
Valkenboskwartier is a dense, urban area, the address density is over 8,500 per km², so it's very much city living. It's a mix of ages: lots of 25-45 year olds, but also families and older residents. Most homes were built before 1945 (94%), and about 46% are owner-occupied. Residents give it a 7.75 out of 10 based on five reviews. One resident says: "Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible." Another notes: "Quite 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." A third mentions: "it smells very bad", so it's not without its downsides. Overall, it's a neighbourhood with character and convenience, as you'd expect from the municipality of Den Haag.
For your morning bread and groceries, you've got an Ekoplaza and an Albert Heijn both just around the corner, and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. There are also smaller shops within walking distance, as one resident mentioned. For schools, the nearest primary is De Parachute, but that's about 4.7 km away, so you'd likely be looking at schools further afield. There's a GP surgery and a restaurant on your doorstep, and a library a ten-minute walk away. The beach and city centre are easily reachable, as residents note.

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.

About Valkenboslaan 257, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €475,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €447,510 and the median of €425,000. However, this apartment is 107 m², while the average sold apartment in the area is 95 m². The price per m² works out to about €4,439, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,053 per m². So while the total price is higher, you're getting more space for your money compared to other homes in Valkenboskwartier.
The energy label is E. This is below the current average for homes in the Netherlands, and it means the property is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label. In Valkenboskwartier, about 38% of homes have a label D or lower, so an E label is not unusual for a pre-war apartment like this one from 1913.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away. That's about a 50-minute walk or a 15-minute bike ride. The neighbourhood is well-connected by tram and bus, but for train travel you'll need to factor in some extra time to get to the station.
Valkenboskwartier has a mix of households: about 24% are families with children, 24% are couples without children, and 58% are single-person households. One resident describes it as a "good neighbourhood for families," noting it's tidy and close to the centre and beach. However, another mentions noise from a busy road. There are primary schools within a 5-10 minute walk, and parks are about 1.1 km away.
The floor area is 107 m², which typically accommodates two to three bedrooms, but the exact layout is not provided by the agent.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. Given that this is an apartment in a pre-war building, it's unlikely to have a private garden, but you would need to check the listing details or ask the agent for confirmation.
For an apartment in a building from 1913, there will be a monthly contribution for the homeowners' association, but the amount is not provided here.
