Geuzenkwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on Willem de Zwijgerlaan sits in the Geuzenkwartier, a quiet pocket of Den Haag that feels a world away from the city bustle. With 60 m² of living space and an energy label D, it's a compact home with character, think high ceilings and original details from 1926. The asking price of €400,000 is notably keen compared to the neighbourhood average, partly because the floor area is smaller than typical for the area. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in size and price, so this one stands out for its affordability.
The neighbourhood Geuzenkwartier is a small district that one resident describes as a 'cosy little neighbourhood with lots of young children.' They add that it feels 'somewhat forgotten and lies in the shadow of Statenkwartier,' but that's part of its charm, it's quieter and more intimate. Parking is a real challenge, with narrow streets and limited space. The area is densely built (over 4,200 addresses per km²) and very urban, yet it has a village-like feel. Most homes are pre-war, and the mix of families and singles gives it a lively but relaxed atmosphere.
Your morning routine could start at Albert Heijn, just a couple of streets away, or the Jumbo a bit further. For fresh bread, there's a bakery within walking distance. Schools are nearby: De Parachute primary school is a ten-minute walk, and the Sint-Maartenscollege secondary school is about the same. The municipality Den Haag offers excellent amenities, with a park or garden just around the corner and a restaurant even closer. The train station is 5.2 km away, so you'd likely cycle or take a bus for longer journeys.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Wooncompany B.V., Funda, Pararius, and Vastgoed Nederland. The agent has provided full details on the property's size, year of construction, and energy label.

I have the feeling that this small district, Geuzenkwartier, is somewhat forgotten and lies in the shadow of Statenkwartier. Parking is a real big problem here with the many small narrow streets.

About Willem de Zwijgerlaan 113B, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €400,000 is 41% below the neighbourhood average of €680,338, but the apartment is also 48% smaller than the typical home in Geuzenkwartier (116 m²). At €6,667 per m², it's slightly above the neighbourhood average of €5,998 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre for a compact, well-located home.
The energy label is D, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home is not particularly energy-efficient, so heating costs could be moderate to high. In the neighbourhood, about 39.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.

Parking is a known issue in Geuzenkwartier. One resident notes that 'parking is a real big problem here with the many small narrow streets.' The home does not include a garage or dedicated parking spot, so you would need to rely on street parking, which can be challenging.
