Sweelinckplein en omgeving, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Voltastraat sits in a handsome 1906 building, with high ceilings and period details that give it a sense of space and light. At 123 m² it is generous for the area, and the C label means heating costs are moderate. The asking price of €600,000 is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €949,464, partly because this is a smaller home than many in the street. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one is priced to move.

Auto-translated to English by AII hate it here, please get me out.
Auto-translated to English by AII think this is a very nice place to have grown up, it is very accessible by public transport and other modes of transport. Yet there are also small streets where you can play outside. There are a few playgrounds and small parks that are safe for children. And there are enough shops in the neighbourhood that you have all your amenities close by.
