Frequently asked questions
About Waldorpstraat 1108, 'S-Gravenhage
Is €850 a fair rent for this studio?
The rent of €850 is 34% below the neighbourhood average of €1,294, which makes it a keen price for a studio in Laakhaven-West. The average rent per square metre in the area is €25.29, and at 23 m², this studio works out at about €37 per m², which is above that average. However, the absolute price is low, reflecting the compact size. It is a competitive option for those looking for an affordable rental in this part of Den Haag.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is designed to be energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration, so it is a reliable indicator of the home's energy performance. It is a positive feature, especially for a compact studio where heating and electricity bills are already modest.
How big is this studio?
The floor area is 23 m², which is compact but well-suited for a single person or a couple who want a low-maintenance base. The space is 65% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 65 m², so it is on the smaller side. This means you will need to be creative with storage and layout, but for a rental, it offers a straightforward, efficient living space. The compact size also keeps the rent down, which is a trade-off many renters find worthwhile.

The area is well connected, with the train station about 1.4 km away, and daily amenities like supermarkets and schools within easy reach.
