Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 2022-built apartment on Zodiakplein sits in the Binckhorst, a neighbourhood that is still finding its feet. With 122 m² of floor space, it is 47% larger than the local average, and the A+++ energy label means running costs will be low. The asking price of €750,000 is 36% above the neighbourhood average of €552,443, so it is on the high side, but you are paying for a new, spacious home. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely in price and size.
Binckhorst is a mixed-use area where businesses and homes sit side by side. Based on two reviews, residents give it a 4.19 out of 5. One resident says: "It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." The neighbourhood has a young population, most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. For more on the area, see the municipality of Den Haag.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarket is an Aldi just around the corner, with an Ekoplaza a couple of streets away and an Albert Heijn a ten-minute walk. There are several primary schools within walking distance: the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school is just around the corner, and KC de Telescoop is a couple of streets away. A secondary school, Gymnasium Novum, is a ten-minute walk. The neighbourhood is very urban, address density is high, and the train station is a ten-minute walk.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Meijs & Alink NVM Makelaardij en Consultancy.

It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though. It's easily accessible by bike and car, but that's also because there's a very busy road running through it. This makes some places dangerous for cyclists. There's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening. Some lights don't work, and sometimes strange people are around. There isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area. There are also two reception centres that can sometimes cause nuisance in the evening and during the day (boys on fat bikes shouting things). This also makes safety less good, especially in the evening when there aren't many people around.
