About Van Brakelstraat 94, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 18% above the neighbourhood average of €657,936, but the apartment is also 53% larger than the typical home in the area (104 m²). The price per square metre works out at roughly €4,874, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,494 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
The home has energy label D. In the Zeeheldenkwartier, most of the housing stock is older (77% built before 1945), and only about 32% of homes have labels A or better. Label D means moderate energy efficiency, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home, but it is not the worst rating.
Residents give mixed reviews. One says "Lots of diversity, unfortunately sometimes crime," while another rates it "Reasonable." The neighbourhood recorded 749 total crimes in the latest data, which is relatively high for a city centre area. It is a busy urban neighbourhood, so typical city precautions apply.
The nearest train station is 2.7 km away, which is a 10-15 minute cycle or a short bus ride. The high address density (6,873 per km²) indicates excellent urban connectivity.
At 159 m², this apartment is 53% larger than the neighbourhood average of 104 m². It is also significantly larger than most apartments in the area, which tend to be smaller due to the pre-war building stock. This makes it a rare find in terms of space.
The listing does not mention a parking facility. In the Zeeheldenkwartier, on-street parking is common but can be challenging due to the dense urban environment. Residents typically rely on street parking or nearby garages. You would need to check with the municipality for permit availability.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony or terrace. Given the apartment is in a 1906 building on a street in a dense neighbourhood, it is unlikely to have a private garden. A balcony may or may not be present, the agent has not specified.
