Vogelwijk, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Nachtegaalplein sits in the leafy Vogelwijk, a quiet pocket of The Hague where the streets feel more like a village than a city. Built in 1925, it has 157 m² of living space and a 252 m² plot, with an E energy label that means heating costs will be noticeable. At €1,195,000, the price is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €1,117,333, but corner houses in Den Haag are scarce, so it reflects the rarity of this type.
Vogelwijk is one of The Hague's most sought-after neighbourhoods, and the reviews back that up. One resident says: "Very nice neighbourhood, I've lived here since birth. You're at the beach in a few minutes and in the city centre in half an hour. Quiet area, lots of green, good community." Another adds: "Safe neighbourhood with lots of nature, just a bit lacking in amenities." The neighbourhood scores an 8.13 out of 10 from four reviews. It's a place where most homes are owner-occupied (90%) and three-quarters were built before 1945, giving it a classic, established feel. The community is strong, with many families and a mix of ages.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet and Jumbo are a couple of streets away. Schools are close too: De Parachute primary school is a ten-minute walk, and Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is a bit further. The neighbourhood is very urban (address density 2884), but the Vogelwijkpark is on your doorstep for a green escape. The train station is 6 km away, so you'll likely cycle or drive for longer trips.

Safe neighbourhood with lots of nature, just a bit lacking in amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood, I've lived here since birth. You're at the beach in a few minutes and in the city centre in half an hour. Quiet area, lots of green, good community. You know the whole street and neighbours regularly come by for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. It's a clean neighbourhood without litter lying around, many detached and semi-detached houses. Helderingschool and RKBS De Parkiet are less than 5 minutes apart. There is also room for special education. There is little car traffic, many people cycle in the neighbourhood. This gives a lot of peace.
Auto-translated to English by AIDe Vogelwijk in The Hague is really a nice place! It's so quiet and green, perfect for a relaxing walk. You can stroll through the Vogelwijkpark, enjoy nature, and maybe even spot some local animals. It just feels very pleasant to be there, especially when the sun is shining!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy parents and I have been living in De Vogelwijk for 5 years now and we like it. Apart from the relatively high average age, quite a lot still happens. There are many schools in the neighbourhood and plenty of space for children to play outside. There are no high-rise buildings, so it's very light everywhere. The location is great because the sea is a 10-minute walk away and the Jumbo, hairdresser, baker and Kruidvat are even closer. It's usually very quiet in the evenings, except when there's been a party at the Westwood, but even that is minimal. Overall, I think De Vogelwijk is a nice and beautiful neighbourhood.

About Nachtegaalplein 22, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is €1,195,000, which is above the neighbourhood average of €1,117,333 and the median of €1,167,500. However, corner houses are rare in Den Haag, and the 252 m² plot is generous. Recently sold homes in Vogelwijk went for an average of €1,040,808, so the price is on the high side, reflecting the property's unique position and size.
The home has an energy label E, which is below average for the neighbourhood where over half of homes have labels D or lower. Label E means higher energy costs for heating and electricity, so you can expect significant utility bills.
