Binckhorst, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis is a brand-new apartment on Zodiakplein in the Binckhorst, a neighbourhood that is very much in transition. Built in 2022, it has an A+++ energy label, so you can expect low running costs. At €625,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €552,443, but that reflects the new build and top energy performance. For context, the average price per m² in the area is €6,705, and this home comes in at around €7,530 per m². If you're looking at apartments in Den Haag, this is a premium option.
Binckhorst is still largely an industrial area with a few residential pockets. Based on two reviews, residents give it a 4.19 out of 5, but the comments are mixed. 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 is densely populated (3,743 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of flats (only 10% are single-family homes). Most residents are between 25 and 45, and many live alone. The municipality Den Haag is working on redevelopment, but it's early days.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarket is an Aldi just around the corner, followed by an Ekoplaza and an Albert Heijn a couple of streets away. There are two primary schools within walking distance: the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school and KC de Telescoop. A child daycare centre is on your doorstep. The area is well connected by bike and car, but a busy road runs through it, which residents say can be dangerous for cyclists. The train station is a ten-minute walk away.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including RM WONEN NVM Makelaardij. The listing is also available on Funda.

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.

About Zodiakplein 57, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €625,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €552,443 and the median of €518,750. However, this is a new-build apartment (2022) with an A+++ energy label, which commands a premium. The average price per m² in Binckhorst is €6,705, while this home works out at about €7,530 per m². Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €593,146, so the price is on the high side but reflects the modern specs.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible rating. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating and electricity costs. In Binckhorst, nearly half of homes (48.9%) have an A+ label or better, so this apartment is at the top end of efficiency.
Residents report mixed feelings about safety. One review mentions that it can be unsafe in the evening, with some lights not working and occasional nuisance from reception centres. Another says it's 'quite dangerous in the evening.' The total number of crimes recorded in the area is 524, but without context it's hard to compare. It's worth noting that the neighbourhood is still developing.
The neighbourhood itself has very few amenities, according to residents. A small Albert Heijn recently opened but is limited. The nearest supermarkets are an Aldi (645 m), Ekoplaza (805 m), and a larger Albert Heijn (908 m). There are two primary schools within about 700-800 m, and a child daycare centre at 400 m. A train station is 1.7 km away.
The neighbourhood has a relatively small number of households with children (185 out of 1,080 households). Most residents are singles or couples without children. There are schools and a daycare nearby, but residents note a lack of green space and community feel. The area is still industrial, so it may not suit everyone looking for a family-friendly environment.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk. Residents mention easy access by bike and car, though a busy road runs through the neighbourhood.
