Frequently asked questions
About Kompasstraat 153, 'S-Gravenhage
Was €701 a fair rent for this studio?
Yes, €701 was very competitive for a studio in Oud Scheveningen. The neighbourhood average rent was €1,569, and the median was the same. This studio was also significantly smaller than the average rental (41 m² vs 116 m²), which explained the lower price. It was one of only two rentals at the time available in the area, so it was priced to move quickly.
What is the neighbourhood like?
Oud Scheveningen is a friendly, working-class neighbourhood with a strong community spirit. Residents describe it as cosy and safe, with lots of children and a mix of ages. It's densely populated, over 3,900 addresses per km², so it feels lively. You'll find shops, restaurants and a library within walking distance, and the beach is nearby.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 5.3 km away, so it's not within walking distance. You'd need a bus or bike to get there. However, the neighbourhood has good bus connections and the tram runs through Scheveningen, making it easy to reach Den Haag Centraal or other parts of the city.
What is the energy label D like?
Energy label D is average for a home built in 1912. It means the property has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern homes. Heating costs would be moderate, not as low as an A-label, but not as high as a G-label. You can expect reasonable energy bills for a 41 m² studio.
Is this a social housing rental?
Yes, this was a social housing rental, which meant the rent was regulated and below the liberalisation threshold (€879.66 in 2025). To qualify, you typically need to register with Woonnet Haaglanden and meet income requirements. The low rent of €701 reflected its social housing status.
How many rooms does the studio have?
The listing described it as a studio, so it was a single open-plan space with a separate bathroom and kitchen. The exact layout is not specified, but studios typically combine the living, sleeping and dining areas into one room. The floor area is 41 m², which is compact but functional for one person.
What supermarkets are nearby?
There are several supermarkets within walking distance. An Aldi is just around the corner (257 m), an Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk (361 m), and Hoogvliet is about six minutes away (459 m). Jumbo is also within a ten-minute walk (599 m). So daily shopping is very convenient.
Is the neighbourhood safe?
Oud Scheveningen has a total of 130 recorded crimes, which is moderate for a dense urban area. Residents in reviews mention it feels safe and friendly, with a strong community where people look out for each other. As with any city neighbourhood, it's always wise to be aware of your surroundings.
