Houtwijk, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Q.A. Nederpelstraat in Houtwijk feels generous from the moment you step in. With 134 m² of living space and a 168 m² plot, it's noticeably roomier than many homes in the area, 29% larger than the neighbourhood average. The price of €525,000 is on the high side compared to the local median of €495,000, but you're getting a well-built home from 1982 with energy label C. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Den Haag in this price range don't always offer this much square footage.
Houtwijk is a residential area with 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 "hardly any nuisance." A third review mentions the neighbourhood is "clean and well-maintained" and feels safe at any time, though public transport connections could be better. Based on three reviews, the overall score is 8.43 out of 10. The neighbourhood Houtwijk is home to many families and older residents, with a mix of owner-occupied and rental properties.
For your morning bread, Hoogvliet is just around the corner, and SPAR express is a couple of streets away. Albert Heijn is a ten-minute walk. Schools are a bit further out: the nearest primary school, WSKO r.-k basisschool Verburch-hof, is about a five-minute drive, and there are several others within a short cycle. The municipality Den Haag keeps the area well-maintained, with a park or garden just a couple of streets away for a quick stroll.

Very good · 3 residents
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.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet residential area with lots of greenery. Pleasant living environment and friendly neighbours. Hardly any nuisance. The only downside is no shops in the immediate vicinity.

About Q.A. Nederpelstraat 63, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €525,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €495,000 and the average sale price of €459,519. However, this home is 29% larger than the typical home in Houtwijk (134 m² vs 104 m²), and it's a corner house with a 168 m² plot. Given the extra space and the energy label C, the price is on the high side but reflects the size advantage.
Energy label C means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, better than older homes with labels D or lower, but not as low as A or B. In Houtwijk, about 36% of homes have label A, 19% label B, and 33% label C, so this home is in line with the local average.
Residents describe Houtwijk as safe, clean, and friendly. One says it feels safe at any time of day, and another notes that neighbours look out for each other. The area is quiet with lots of greenery, and there's hardly any nuisance. The total number of crimes recorded in the neighbourhood is 620, which is moderate for a densely populated area.
The nearest supermarket, Hoogvliet, is 331 metres away, just a few minutes' walk. SPAR express is 467 metres, and Albert Heijn is 783 metres. The closest primary school is WSKO r.-k basisschool Verburch-hof at 2.3 km, and the nearest secondary school is ISW Irenestraat at 2.9 km. Both are a short drive or cycle.
Public transport is available but not the neighbourhood's strongest point. The nearest train station is 5.4 km away, which is a significant distance. Buses and trams run, but residents note that connections to other parts of the city can be time-consuming. A car is more practical for getting around quickly.
Given it's a corner house, you can expect outdoor space on at least two sides. For specific details, you would need to view the property.
