Huygenspark, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Van der Duynstraat sits in Huygenspark, a neighbourhood that has clearly come into its own. The park itself was renovated not long ago and is a vibrant spot for all ages, and the streets around it feel calm and well-kept. At 83 m², this home is considerably smaller than the neighbourhood average of 207 m², which is reflected in the rent of €754 per month. That puts it well below the average rent in the area, so it is keenly priced for what it is. For a sense of the wider market, you can compare with apartments in Den Haag.
One resident describes Huygenspark as a "green, quiet and accessible neighbourhood," noting that it has improved over the years and that the park is now a vibrant place for all ages. They also point out that, despite being an extension of the Schilderswijk, the area up to Holland Spoor station is "perfectly fine." Accessibility is a real plus: you are quickly in the city centre, at the train station, or on a tram towards Scheveningen. The same resident adds that "plenty of amenities" mean everything you need is close by. This is based on a single review, so it is one person's perspective, but it paints a positive picture. The neighbourhood itself is densely populated, with many single-person households and a young demographic, which fits the urban vibe. The Huygenspark neighbourhood is a lively, central part of the city.
For daily errands, you have a Jumbo supermarket just around the corner, and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away, so picking up bread or groceries is easy. The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about a ten-minute walk, and there are several other primary and secondary schools within a short distance, including Sint-Maartenscollege for secondary education. The area is well served by public transport, with a train station a short walk away and trams running towards Scheveningen and other parts of The Hague. The municipality of Den Haag offers a full range of urban amenities, from parks to cultural venues.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
Over the years, this neighbourhood has improved in my opinion. Huygenspark was renovated not long ago and is a vibrant park for all ages. The Huygenspark neighbourhood is an extension of the notorious Schilderswijk district. But you don't notice any of that here; up to the level of Holland Spoor station, everything is perfectly fine. Accessibility is top-notch; you're quickly in the city centre, quickly at the train station, and quickly on the tram towards Scheveningen or other places in The Hague.
