Waterbuurt, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with real presence: a detached house on a plot of nearly 5,000 m², built in 1917 and full of character. The 290 m² of living space gives you room to spread out, and the energy label G means you'll want to budget for heating. At €1,600,000, it's the most expensive of the 10 homes currently for sale in Waterbuurt and sits 155% above the neighbourhood's average asking price of €627,800. For context, that's a premium that reflects the size and rarity of this property compared to other detached houses in Den Haag.
Waterbuurt is a mixed bag, according to residents. One long-term resident calls it "a good quiet family neighbourhood" with "lots of lovely families, schools, a big park" and easy motorway access. But others paint a different picture: "chaotic and fake", with aggressive neighbours, loitering youths, litter, and a feeling of insecurity. Another resident mentions cars racing through the streets and drug deals happening nearby. Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.91 out of 10. The neighbourhood has a strong family feel, 55% of homes are owner-occupied and 87% are single-family houses, but the experience clearly varies by street. You can read more about the neighbourhood Waterbuurt on its dedicated page.
For daily errands, the nearest supermarkets are Hoogvliet and Jumbo, both just under a kilometre away, a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are a bit further: Kindcentrum Regenboog is about a 15-minute walk, and there are several others within a couple of kilometres. The neighbourhood has a park or public garden just 400 metres away, so green space is close by. The municipality Den Haag offers a wide range of amenities, but you'll need a car or bike to reach most of them from this part of Ypenburg.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Westmaas Makelaardij B.V. and Funda. The price and details are as published by the agent.

I've lived here for almost 17 years, it's a beautiful neighbourhood, lots of lovely families, schools, a big park, you name it, it's great, it's very clean here, it's located near the motorway, it's super easy to reach
Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I first moved here, I thought, oh nice, a nice quiet neighbourhood, but that quickly faded. I myself have aggressive neighbours who throw their joints everywhere and just move your things without asking. Way too many loitering youths in the area, they terrorise the shopping centre every evening, and there's just nothing fun here. It's dirty everywhere, there's litter and rubbish, and it just stinks.
Auto-translated to English by AIYou can't sleep well here because of all the cars racing through the neighbourhood, and every month a corpse is found in the canal, which makes me and my family feel less safe, and that's really quite annoying. I think the location also plays a part; two streets away from me, drug deals happen more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many loitering youths in the neighbourhood, but recently they have been behaving reasonably. There is plenty for the children to do and there is a bit of greenery everywhere. The education is reasonable and at a good distance.

About Brasserskade 243, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 155% above the neighbourhood average of €627,800, making it the most expensive home currently for sale in Waterbuurt. However, it's also a detached house on a 4,980 m² plot with 290 m² of living space, far larger than the typical home in the area. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the character of a 1917 property with a poor energy label.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs are likely to be high. In Waterbuurt, 75% of homes for sale have label A or better, so this property stands out as one that will need significant investment in insulation and heating upgrades to bring it up to modern standards.
With 290 m² of living space, this home is 103% larger than the neighbourhood average of 143 m². The plot of 4,980 m² is also exceptionally large for the area. If you need space, both indoors and outdoors, this is a rare find in Waterbuurt.
Residents have mixed views. Some praise it as a quiet family neighbourhood with good schools and a park, while others mention issues with noise, litter, and safety concerns. The average review score is 6.91 out of 10. It's a suburban area with mostly single-family homes, and the motorway is nearby for easy commuting.
The nearest train station is 3.9 km away, so you'll need a car, bike, or bus to reach it. The area is more car-dependent than central parts of The Hague.
Yes, there are several schools within walking or cycling distance. The nearest primary school is Kindcentrum Regenboog at 1.6 km, and there are others within 2 km. A special secondary school, 't Kraaienest, is just 167 metres away.
