Laakhaven-West, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis two-year-old apartment on Waldorpstraat feels fresh and efficient, with an A+ energy label keeping running costs low. At 51 m² it is compact, but the price of €299,500 is 16% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €355,966, a keen entry point for a new-build home. For context, apartments in Den Haag typically sell at €5,376 per m², so this one undercuts that too.

Crime figures are relatively high, but the area is well served by public transport, the train station is a ten-minute walk. The Laakhaven-West neighbourhood has seen almost all its homes built after 2010, so the housing stock is modern.
For your morning bread and groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and PLUS, Lidl and SPAR express are all within a ten-minute walk. Primary schools are a bit further out, the nearest, De Parachute, is about a 15-minute walk, but there are several options. The area falls under the municipality of Den Haag, which means city-centre amenities are never far away.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including Hooghlanden makelaars.
