Archipelbuurt, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. A 19th-century corner house on one of the Archipelbuurt's most appealing streets, with 335 m² of living space and a 370 m² plot. The price of €2,300,000 is on the high side, even for this sought-after area, it sits 167% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €862,555. But then, this is no ordinary house: it's a rare, large corner property in a location. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Den Haag vary widely, but this one stands out for its sheer size and character.
The Archipelbuurt is one of The Hague's most established residential areas, with wide streets, mature trees and a mix of grand 19th-century houses and modern apartments. Based on three reviews, residents are clearly fond of it. One says: "My experience with the neighbourhood is good, everyone looks out for each other and helps where needed, and that's nice to have." Another, who has lived here for 40 years, notes: "If you live somewhere that long, it says a lot about the living pleasure and affordable housing." A third describes it as "cosy and accessible", with plenty to do and easy access by public transport, bike and car. The neighbourhood has a high proportion of one-person households and a significant number of residents aged 45 and over. For more on the area, see the Archipelbuurt page.
Your daily bread run is a couple of streets away: the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner. For a bigger shop, another Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. Schools are within easy reach, the closest primary school is a five-minute walk, and secondary schools are about a ten-minute walk. The area is densely urban, with a very high address density, so everything you need is close by. For a broader view of the surroundings, check out the municipality Den Haag page.

About Bankastraat 106, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €2,300,000, which is 167% above the neighbourhood average of €862,555. However, this is a corner house with 335 m² of living space, 136% larger than the average home in the Archipelbuurt. Given its size, character and location, the price reflects its uniqueness, but it is on the high side compared to typical homes in the area.
The energy label is D. In the Archipelbuurt, about 22% of homes have a label D or lower, while the majority (around 39%) have A or A+ labels. A D label means the home is not the most efficient, so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a modern, well-insulated property. The house dates from 1893, so original features may affect energy performance.
The plot measures 370 m². The listing does not specify a garden, terrace or other outdoor space, so it is unclear whether the plot includes a private garden. The house itself has 335 m² of living space over several floors, typical of a grand 19th-century corner house.
The Archipelbuurt has a mix of residents: about 12% of households have children, while 31% are one-person households. The area is safe and well-maintained, with good schools nearby. Residents describe it as friendly and close-knit, with people looking out for each other. It is a popular area for families who appreciate the classic architecture and central location.
The nearest train station is 2.3 km away. That is about a 25-minute walk or a short bike ride. The area is well served by public transport, with bus and tram stops nearby, making it easy to reach The Hague city centre and other parts of the city.
The nearest supermarket, Albert Heijn, is just 318 m away, a couple of streets' walk. There is also a second Albert Heijn about 1 km away. For dining, the closest restaurant is 300 m away. A GP practice is 400 m from the house, and a pharmacy is likely within walking distance. The area is very urban, so most daily needs are within a short walk.
The house was built in 1893, so it is over 130 years old. The listing does not mention any renovations or the current condition, but the energy label D suggests that some modernisation may be needed. Original features such as high ceilings, fireplaces and period details are likely present, but buyers should budget for potential updates to heating, insulation and wiring.
