Very good · 3 residents
Unfortunately, people leave their rubbish lying around. Tourism is big, but visitors are usually up for a chat. Just behind the tourist coast is 'the village'. Cosy with small shops. Keizerstraat could be better signposted. There is a lot of vacancy; it could be a cosy street if property prices weren't so high. I'm in favour of a cosier Keizerstraat that isn't too touristy but does connect with a tourist area…

About Wassenaarsestraat 126, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €365,000 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €550,000, which makes it a keen price. However, the apartment is also 37% smaller than the average home in the area (63 m² vs 100 m²). Given the compact size and the energy label D, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a smaller, older apartment in this prime seaside location.
The energy label is D. In Scheveningen Badplaats, about 40% of homes have label C, and 25% have D or lower. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs could be higher than in a modern home. It's worth checking the insulation and heating system before making an offer.
The beach is just a few minutes' walk away, the exact distance isn't stated, but the apartment is in the heart of Scheveningen Badplaats, so the sea and boulevard are on your doorstep.
Residents mention that buses and trams are within easy reach. The nearest train station is 5 km away, so for national rail connections you'd need to take a bus or tram to Den Haag HS or Centraal. Local trams and buses run frequently along the coast and into the city centre.
Some residents mention that parking is difficult and that tourism brings crowds and litter. The area can be busy in summer, but many enjoy the lively atmosphere and the fact that visitors are friendly. The Keizerstraat has some vacant shops, which residents would like to see improved.
The area has a mix of households: about 30% are families with children, and there are several primary schools within walking distance. The nearby park and beach offer plenty of outdoor space. However, the apartment itself is compact, so it may suit a small family or a couple.
