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. Plenty of amenities; everything you need can be found in the neighbourhood.

About Van Hogendorpstraat 3, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €250,000 is 51% below the neighbourhood average of €509,353, but the apartment is also smaller than average at 61 m². The price per square metre works out at about €4,098, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,033 per m². Given the compact size and the need for some updating (the building dates from 1850), the price appears keen relative to the local market.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, about 33% of homes have label C, while 29% have label A. A C label means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. The home was built in 1850, so some insulation improvements may be possible.
