Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Valkenboslaan sits in a lively part of The Hague, with a mix of old and new neighbours. At 66 m² it's compact but well laid out, and the C label means it's reasonably efficient. The asking price of €399,500 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because apartments here tend to be smaller. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
Valkenboskwartier is a dense, urban area with a very high address density. It's home to many singles and young professionals, but also families. 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 review is less positive: "it smells very bad." Based on five reviews, the neighbourhood scores 7.75 out of 10. The municipality Den Haag is known for its diverse districts.
For groceries, you have a PLUS just around the corner, an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away, and a Jumbo also nearby. Schools are a bit further: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 4.7 km away, so you'd likely cycle or drive. There are also several other primary schools within 5.5 km. A park or public garden is about a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Plink Garantiemakelaars.

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 59A, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €399,500, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €451,726 and the median of €425,000. However, at 66 m², this apartment is 30% smaller than the average home in Valkenboskwartier (94 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €6,053, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €5,136 per m². So you're paying a premium for the smaller size, but the location and energy label C are positives.
The energy label is C, which is average for an older home. In Valkenboskwartier, 22.3% of homes have label C, while 40.2% have a lower rating (D or worse). A C label means the home is reasonably well insulated, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not as efficient as a modern A-rated home, but it's better than many pre-war properties in the area.
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 that it's tidy and close to the centre and beach. However, some parts are noisy due to busy roads. There are several primary schools within a 5 km radius, though the nearest is about 4.7 km away.
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 in The Hague. The high address density (8,568 addresses per km²) means many amenities are within walking distance, and the city centre is easily accessible by bike or public transport.
The neighbourhood recorded 614 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a dense urban area. However, residents' reviews are mixed: one says it's "very nice" and "easily accessible," while another complains about unpleasant smells. It's always a good idea to visit the area at different times to get a feel for safety and atmosphere.
You have a PLUS supermarket just around the corner (332 m), an Albert Heijn (334 m), and a Jumbo (338 m) all within a few minutes' walk. There are also small shops nearby, as one resident mentions. A restaurant is just 0.2 km away, and a library is 0.6 km. For daily needs, you're well covered without needing a car.
