Zuidwal, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Wagenstraat sits right in the thick of things, where the city buzzes day and night. With 141 m² of living space, it's a generous size for a city centre home, 40% larger than the average in the neighbourhood. The building dates from 1700, so you get high ceilings and character, but the energy label G means heating costs will be significant. At €529,000, the price is on the high side compared to the median of €467,500 in Zuidwal, but you're paying for the space and location. For context, this is one of the apartments in Den Haag currently on the market.
Zuidwal is a dense, urban area with a mix of cultures and a lively street scene. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the convenience: one calls it a "multicultural neighbourhood with many amenities" and notes "increasing greenery, everything in the neighbourhood." Another describes it as "very centrally located in the shopping district and easily accessible by public transport or bike," but adds that weekends can be busy and the atmosphere at night sometimes feels unsafe. The neighbourhood has a very high density of 8,658 addresses per km², and most homes are pre-war (74.5%). It's a young area, with many single-person households and a large share of residents aged 25-45. This is the neighbourhood Zuidwal in a nutshell.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Jumbo is a couple of streets away. Ekoplaza is also within easy reach for organic groceries. Schools are a bit further out: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about a ten-minute walk, and the Protestant Christian primary school Groen van Prinsterer is a bit further. For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are both within a ten-minute walk. The municipality Den Haag offers all the amenities you'd expect from a major city.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Noordwest Makelaardij, Funda, Vastgoed Nederland, and Huispedia.
