Houtwijk, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Dr. J. Presserstraat in Houtwijk feels bright and spacious, with 96 m² of living space and a 120 m² plot. Built in 1982, it has an exceptional A+++ energy label, far more efficient than most homes in the area. At €425,000, the asking price is keen compared to the neighbourhood average of €464,000. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Den Haag typically sell for around that figure.
Houtwijk is a quiet residential area with lots of greenery and a strong sense of community. One resident describes it as "friendly and welcoming", adding that "everyone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other." Another calls it a "green and safe neighbourhood" with a "pleasant living environment and friendly neighbours." The only downside mentioned is the lack of shops immediately nearby. The neighbourhood has a mix of families and older residents, and most homes are owner-occupied. You can read more about the neighbourhood Houtwijk on our site.
For your daily shopping, Lidl and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner, and Jumbo is a ten-minute walk away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including WSKO Basisschool De Hofvilla and WSKO r.-k basisschool Verburch-hof, both about a five-minute walk. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of parks and green spaces nearby, with a park or garden just a couple of streets away.

I've been living in Houtwijk for a while now and overall I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood. What I particularly experience as positive are the people here. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the street. The area is also clean and well-maintained, which gives a nice and cared-for feeling. Moreover, it feels very safe here; I feel at ease in the surroundings at any time of day. What I find less pleasant is the accessibility of Houtwijk by public transport. There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome or time-consuming. This makes it difficult for people without a car to get to other places quickly. All in all, I think Houtwijk is a nice and quiet place to live, especially because of the friendly neighbours, the cleanliness and the feeling of safety. Hopefully public transport will be better organised in the future.
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other. All amenities are close by. Actually, this is the perfect neighbourhood. Everyone neatly cleans up the mess on the street, the houses are beautiful and well-insulated, green spaces are next to the centre which is also nice and spacious. Moreover, there is plenty to do for the children. Accessibility by both public transport and car is fine.

About Dr. J. Presserstraat 329, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €425,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €464,000 and the median of €495,000. Given the excellent energy label and the fact that similar homes in Houtwijk sell in about 43 days, this price looks competitive.
An A+++ label is exceptionally efficient, it means very low energy costs. In Houtwijk, none of the current homes for sale have an A+ label or better, so this house stands out. Most homes in the area have label A (36%) or C (33%).
Residents have mixed views. One says buses and trams are available but the service is limited and connections can be time-consuming. Another finds accessibility by public transport fine. The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, so a car or bike is handy for longer journeys.
Reviews highlight friendly and helpful neighbours who look out for each other. One resident says 'everyone is always open for a chat' and the atmosphere on the street is pleasant. The area feels safe at any time of day.
Yes, Lidl and Albert Heijn are both just around the corner (about 300 m), and Jumbo is about a ten-minute walk away. However, one resident notes there are no shops in the immediate vicinity, so the main supermarkets are a short stroll.
