Oud Scheveningen, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Weststraat sits in the heart of Oud Scheveningen, where the sea breeze and village atmosphere meet city life. With 129 m² of living space, it is a generous home in a neighbourhood where most apartments are smaller. The energy label is D, which is less efficient than much of the current supply in the area. At €575,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €527,500, but the extra space explains much of that. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in size and price.
Oud Scheveningen is the historic fishing quarter, with narrow streets and a strong sense of community. Based on two reviews, residents appreciate the friendly, family-oriented feel. One resident calls it a "nice working-class neighbourhood" with "lots of children." Another says: "It's a cosy neighbourhood and we're always there for each other." The area has a high address density of nearly 4,000 per km², so it is very urban, yet it retains a village character. Most homes were built before 1945, giving the streets a traditional look. The Oud Scheveningen neighbourhood is one of the most distinctive parts of The Hague.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet and Aldi are a couple of streets away. The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is a ten-minute walk, while secondary schools are a bit further. A GP and a restaurant are both on your doorstep, and a park is a five-minute walk. The train station is 5.3 km away, so you would cycle or take a bus for longer journeys. The municipality of Den Haag offers all the amenities of a major city, but here in Scheveningen you have the beach and the boulevard as well.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Dekker Makelaars. The agent has published full details, so you can get a clear picture of the property.

The asking price is above the neighbourhood average of €527,500 and the median of €497,500. However, this apartment is 129 m², which is 32% larger than the average of 98 m² in Oud Scheveningen. On a per-square-metre basis, the price of around €4,457 is below the neighbourhood average of €5,702 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money.
Energy label D means the home is moderately efficient. In Oud Scheveningen, 25% of homes for sale have label A+ or better, and 50% have label C. So this home is less efficient than much of the current supply. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern home, but the exact amount depends on usage and the specific heating system.
Oud Scheveningen has a strong community feel, with many families and children. One resident describes it as a "nice working-class neighbourhood" with "lots of children." There are primary schools within walking distance, and the area has parks and playgrounds. The high density means streets can be busy, but the village atmosphere and proximity to the beach make it popular with families.
Albert Heijn is 321 metres away, just around the corner. Hoogvliet and Aldi are about 500-600 metres, a couple of streets away. Jumbo is 939 metres, a ten-minute walk. So daily shopping is very convenient on foot.
It is a short walk from Weststraat to the sea, typically less than 10 minutes.
The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so it is not within walking distance. However, there are tram and bus lines in the area that connect to The Hague city centre and the station.
The floor area is 129 m², which is spacious, but the layout is not described. You would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent for room details.

Pleasant living in a neighbourhood with lots of children
Auto-translated to English by AIIf you are a Scheveningen, then you are (unfortunately) one of us. But most Hagenaars, and whoever else, friendly, everyone who behaves, what matters is harmony.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, 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…
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood is that there is very little nuisance (such as crime or the like). In the evenings, there are often young people racing by on fatbikes. That's the less pleasant part, besides the fact that this happens all day long. Furthermore, my neighbourhood is diverse; sometimes children play in the street, people walk their dogs or go to sports or the like. Most people are friendly, but unfortunately rarely say hello (I think that's also the spirit of the times). There are also occasionally confused people. Otherwise, the community is fine and there is very open communication!
Auto-translated to English by AII find it very cosy and fun to live here
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood offers many important amenities when it comes to daily necessities but also entertainment. There is a reasonably good bond between the residents.
Auto-translated to English by AIMy experience with the neighbourhood so far is very good, I have never been bothered or had any issues
Auto-translated to English by AIA nice neighbourhood with everything you need on the same street. Just a shame that all the traffic has to go through the same street.
