Willemspark, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Schelpkade sits in the heart of Willemspark, one of The Hague's most elegant neighbourhoods. With 184 m² of living space spread over several floors, it offers generous proportions for a city home. The asking price of €1,100,000 is 52% above the neighbourhood average of €723,518, but the home is also 67% larger than the typical 110 m² in the area, so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Den Haag vary widely in price.
Willemspark is a sought-after area with wide streets and monumental architecture. The neighbourhood has 1,745 residents, many of whom live alone (660 single-person households), and a high proportion of 25- to 45-year-olds. It's a very urban setting (address density 4,385 per km²), so you'll find plenty of restaurants and cafés just around the corner. The municipality Den Haag is known for its mix of historic and modern districts, and Willemspark is one of its most prestigious.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and another Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. Schools are within walking distance: De Parachute primary school is a ten-minute walk, and secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege are a bit further but still reachable by bike. The train station is 1.8 km away, so a pleasant walk or short cycle.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via NassauHuis Makelaardij and also appears on Funda, so it's available through several channels.

About Schelpkade 48, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 52% above the neighbourhood average of €723,518, but this home is also 67% larger than the typical 110 m² in Willemspark. The price per square metre works out to about €5,978, which is below the neighbourhood average of €6,796 per m². So while the total price is high, you're getting more space for your money compared to other homes in the area.
The home has energy label B, which is quite efficient. In Willemspark, only about 35% of homes have label A or better, so label B puts it above average. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though the house was built in 1907, so some older features may still be present.
Willemspark has a mix of residents, but only 165 households with children out of 1,090 total households, so it's not a typical family neighbourhood. There are primary schools within walking distance (De Parachute at 0.5 km) and several secondary schools nearby. The area is very urban with plenty of amenities, but green spaces like parks are a ten-minute walk away.
The nearest train station is 1.8 km from the home, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle.
At 184 m², this home is 67% larger than the average home in Willemspark (110 m²). The plot is 63 m², which is modest for a corner house, but the living space is generous. Most homes in the neighbourhood are apartments (82% are multi-family), so a corner house of this size is relatively rare.
In the most recent data, there were 123 total crimes reported in the neighbourhood. Given the population of 1,745, that works out to about 7 crimes per 100 residents per year, which is moderate for a city centre area.
