As a result, the rest of this page is mainly about the street and the neighbourhood, not the home itself.

Binckhorst is an industrial area with a few houses, and residents are candid about its drawbacks. One resident says: "It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature." Another adds: "No greenery in the Binckhorst, no supermarkets in the neighbourhood. Quite dangerous in the evening. And there is a lot of litter." Both reviews mention safety concerns after dark and a lack of community, though one notes the area is "easily accessible by bike and car" and that efforts are being made to improve it. The neighbourhood is home to around 2,075 people, with a high share of single-person households. This is a place that is still finding its identity, as reflected in the [neighbourhood] reviews.
For daily shopping, the nearest supermarkets are a Jumbo and an Aldi, both about 800 metres away, with an Albert Heijn just under a kilometre from the door. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer at roughly 700 metres and KC de Telescoop. For secondary education, Gymnasium Novum is around 1.4 kilometres away. The area is well connected by bike and car, though a busy road runs through it, which residents say can make some spots feel unsafe for cyclists. The municipality of Den Haag is working on the wider area, and [the municipality of Den Haag] is investing in the transformation of the Binckhorst.

How residents experience their neighbourhood
It's a neighbourhood with virtually no amenities. Recently a very small Albert Heijn opened, but you can hardly buy anything there. Apart from that, there are no facilities, and there's basically no nature. They are trying to make the neighbourhood nicer, though. It's easily accessible by bike and car, but that's also because there's a very busy road running through it. This makes some places dangerous for cyclists. There's a lot of litter, and it can be unsafe in the evening. Some lights don't work, and sometimes strange people are around. There isn't really a community since there are a lot of businesses in the area. There are also two reception centres that can sometimes cause nuisance in the evening and during the day (boys on fat bikes shouting things). This also makes safety less good, especially in the evening when there aren't many people around.
