Vissershaven, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis first-floor apartment on Van Bergenstraat sits in the heart of Vissershaven, a stone's throw from the harbour and the sea. With 87 m² of living space and a C energy label, it's a solid, no-nonsense home from 1934. At €325,000, the asking price is 63% below the neighbourhood average of €871,838, a keen entry point for a buyer who's happy to put their own stamp on things. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one stands out for its value.
Vissershaven is a tight-knit community where locals still greet each other, though one resident notes that "most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello (I think that's also the spirit of the times)." Another calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" with "very open communication" and little crime, though fatbikes racing by in the evenings are a minor gripe. The neighbourhood Vissershaven is densely populated (3,559 addresses per km²) and home to many singles and older residents, with a mix of ages. One review sums it up: "If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.4 out of 10.
Your morning bread run is a 65-metre walk to Jumbo, practically on your doorstep. For a wider choice, Aldi and Albert Heijn are just around the corner. The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is a ten-minute walk away, while secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege are a couple of streets further. The municipality Den Haag keeps the area well-connected, with a park or public garden just a five-minute stroll away. In the evenings, the neighbourhood is quiet enough for a relaxed walk, though the occasional fatbike might whizz past.

If you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like). In the evenings, there are often young people racing by on fatbikes. That's the less pleasant part, besides the fact that this happens all day long. Furthermore, my neighbourhood is diverse; sometimes children play in the street, people walk their dogs or go to sports or the like. Most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello (I think that's also the spirit of the times). There are also occasionally confused people. Otherwise, the community is fine and there is very open communication!
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice and cosy neighbourhood. Landlord Hofwonen are scammers and want to cheat people time and again by not doing the maintenance and repairs they are legally obliged to. Moreover, the houses are freezing cold in winter, which should be banned. The neighbourhood is cosy. Nice people. The green in the neighbourhood is the Bosjes van Poot. It's like Shrek's swamp, really a filthy mess. Regularly there is a thick layer of bird droppings on the pavement and street. The municipality should clean this more often. Thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets and in the neighbourhood.

About Van Bergenstraat 45, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €325,000 is 63% below the neighbourhood average of €871,838, which makes it a keen entry point. However, the average includes many larger and newer homes; the median price in Vissershaven is €515,000. Given the 87 m² floor area and 1934 construction, the price per m² works out to about €3,736, well under the neighbourhood average of €7,587 per m².

Another mentions that 'thanks to the close community, it is very safe on the streets and in the neighbourhood.'
