About Weststraat 26, 'S-Gravenhage

The energy label is D. In Oud Scheveningen, 25% of homes for sale have a label D or lower, while 50% have label C and 25% have A+. A D label means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. It is worth considering potential improvements, but the listing does not specify any recent upgrades.
Weststraat is in the heart of the neighbourhood, so the beach and boulevard are within easy walking distance, typically a few minutes.
Oud Scheveningen has a mix of households: about 30% are singles, 23% are couples without children, and 26% are families with children. Residents describe it as a "nice working-class neighbourhood" with "lots of children" and a cosy, supportive community.

The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, the area is well served by trams and buses that connect to Den Haag city centre and other parts of the region.
Oud Scheveningen is a dense, historic neighbourhood with narrow streets, so parking may be limited. Many homes do not have private parking, and residents often rely on street parking or permits. It is best to check with the municipality for specific arrangements.
The listing does not mention any renovations. The building dates from 1936, and the energy label D suggests that the home has not been fully modernised in terms of insulation or heating. You would need to inspect the property to see the condition of the kitchen, bathroom, and windows.
