One resident describes it as "an industrial estate with some houses that wasn't thought through," noting virtually no amenities, a very small Albert Heijn, no nature, and a busy road that makes cycling dangerous. They mention litter, unsafe evenings, and nuisance from reception centres. Another resident calls it "an industrial area with a few houses," echoing the lack of greenery and supermarkets, and saying it's "quite dangerous in the evening." The neighbourhood has a very high address density (3,743 addresses per km²) and is mostly young adults (25-45 years). It's a place in transition, with many new-builds. Binckhorst is still developing its community.

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 59, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €915,000 is 66% above the average asking price in Binckhorst (€552,443) and makes it the most expensive home currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, it's also 57% larger than the average (130 m² vs 83 m²) and has a top energy label (A+++). Whether it's fair depends on how you value the extra space and efficiency against the local market.
The energy label is A+++, the highest possible. This means the home is extremely energy-efficient, with very low heating costs and a minimal environmental footprint. The home was built in 2022, so it meets modern building standards. In Binckhorst, nearly all homes have label A or better, so this is in line with the neighbourhood.
Residents have mixed feelings. 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 neighbourhood is 524, but without context per capita, it's hard to compare. It's worth being aware of the evening atmosphere.

The area has few amenities, so you'll likely travel for most shopping.
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. The neighbourhood is well-connected by bike and car, with a busy road running through it.
