About Van Trigtstraat 84, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €395,000 is 48% below the neighbourhood average of €765,900, but the apartment is also 32% smaller than the average home in Uilennest (84 m² vs 124 m²). Given the energy label G and the 1957 build, the price reflects the need for potential upgrades. Compared to the five other homes currently for sale in the area, this is the cheapest option.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs are to be expected. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1957 property, but you should budget for energy bills accordingly.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk or a short cycle. This makes commuting to The Hague city centre or other cities quite convenient.
Based on one neighbourhood review, residents describe Uilennest as "super beautiful" with easy access to both the city and the beach, though they note that many elderly people live there. The area has a calm, residential feel with a mix of ages, but a significant proportion of residents are over 65.
The listing does not mention a garden, balcony, or terrace. The plot size is not stated, so it is not possible to confirm any private outdoor space from the available data.
The listing does not specify the number of bedrooms. With 84 m² of floor area, it is likely a two-bedroom apartment, but you would need to confirm the exact layout with the agent.
