Noordpolderbuurt, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Draaistraat sits in the Noordpolderbuurt, a quiet pocket of Den Haag with a strong community feel. At 140 m² of living space, it is 82% larger than the neighbourhood average, and the plot of 1580 m² is exceptional for an urban terrace. The asking price of €595,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood median of €279,999, but the size and energy label A set it apart. It is the most expensive of the 31 homes currently for sale in the area, and one of very few terraced houses in Den Haag with this much space.
The Noordpolderbuurt feels like a village within the city. One resident says: "Everyone grew up together, making the neighbourhood feel like one close-knit community." Another describes it as the "cosiest neighbourhood" with good neighbours and plenty of shops. A third notes that while the area has a bit of a reputation, it is "not that bad actually" and has nice parks. Based on six reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.2 out of 10. It is densely populated (5606 addresses per km²) and mostly consists of pre-war homes, but this house was built in 2005. For more on the area, see the Noordpolderbuurt neighbourhood.
For your morning bread, Jumbo and Aldi are just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk away. Primary schools are within walking distance: De Parachute is a ten-minute walk, and Protestants Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer is a bit further. Secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are about a 20-minute walk. The train station is 1.9 km away, so a 20-minute walk or short cycle. Parks and a petting zoo are nearby, and the city centre is easily reached. For more on the wider area, see the municipality of Den Haag.
At the time of writing, the home is listed via Vastelle Makelaars and appears on multiple platforms including Pararius and Funda.

I experience the Noordpolderbuurt as a quiet, pleasant neighbourhood where you can really feel at home. Almost everyone has known each other for years, creating a warm and close community. The neighbourhood feels safe, both during the day and in the evening, and there is a relaxed atmosphere. The homes are generally of good quality and well-maintained. The streets are clean and hygienic, which further enhances living comfort. There is also plenty of greenery in the area; the nature and parks make it a nice place to walk or unwind. In addition, there are sufficient amenities in the neighbourhood, making daily life easy and pleasant. Whether it's shops, schools, or other important facilities: everything is easily accessible. The accessibility of the neighbourhood is excellent, whether by public transport, car, or bike. In short: the Noordpolderbuurt is for me a quiet, safe, and social neighbourhood where people enjoy living and where the atmosphere feels positive and familiar.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a decent neighbourhood with plenty of parks and other amenities. However, there are quite a few problems in the area, such as nuisance and dangerous people who harass you. Additionally, it's often dirty because rubbish isn't collected often enough. Despite all this, I'm quite satisfied with living in this neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AIThis neighbourhood is very cosy and you feel at home here. Good communication with neighbours. Lots of shops in the area. Easy to travel by public transport. Close to the city centre, which is of course very nice. There is also a forest nearby where you can explore nature. Fun activities for children, like going to the petting zoo. There are also community centres where you can meet people and do fun activities. In short, this is where you want to live.

Auto-translated to English by AIIf something ever goes wrong, it's not immediately 'yes police', but we usually talk it out among ourselves. We trust each other that someone won't immediately be reported if, for example, they make noise. Usually we just address the neighbour directly instead of making a big deal out of it.
Auto-translated to English by AII’ve lived in Laak as an international student for over a year now and I had great experiences with the people and amenities available. Everyone speaks English and I have experienced no harassment about not being Dutch.

It is the most expensive of the 31 homes currently for sale in the Noordpolderbuurt, so it is priced at the top end of the market.
The plot is 1580 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house in this neighbourhood. The listing does not specify how much of that is garden, but the plot size suggests plenty of outdoor space.
