The asking price of €475,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €447,510 and the median of €425,000. Given the 107 m² floor area, 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 on the high side, you're getting a larger-than-average apartment for the area.
The energy label is E. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label E is towards the lower end of the scale, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to more efficient labels. The label does not necessarily indicate poor insulation, it could be influenced by the heating system or ventilation.
The neighbourhood is very well connected. The nearest train station is 4.1 km away, which is a short cycle or bus ride.
Valkenboskwartier has a mix of households: about 1,445 with children and 1,475 without. The average household size is 1.8, reflecting many singles. One resident describes it as a "good neighbourhood for families" despite some noise from a busy road. There are several primary schools within a ten-minute walk, and parks are about 1.1 km away.
The floor area is 107 m², but without room count from the agent, it's not possible to say how many bedrooms or living spaces there are.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not provided, so it's unclear if there is any private outdoor space. You would need to check the property details with the agent.

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.
