Sweelinckplein en omgeving, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis is a substantial pre-war townhouse in the heart of Duinoord, one of The Hague's most elegant residential areas. With 229 m² of living space spread over several floors, it offers generous proportions that are rare in this part of the city. The asking price of €1,650,000 is on the high side compared to the neighbourhood average of €885,472, but that reflects the exceptional size and the A+ energy label, only 6% of homes for sale in the area have that rating. For context, terraced houses in Den Haag at this level are a niche market.
The neighbourhood is a mix of grand 19th-century architecture and quiet, tree-lined streets. One resident describes it as a "fantastic neighbourhood with many facilities within walking distance," adding that it's "close to the sea, city centre and shops" with a "good community spirit." Another review notes the area is "very accessible by public transport and other modes of transport" yet still has "small streets where you can play outside." The neighbourhood Sweelinckplein e.o. is densely populated, with mostly smaller households, many singles and couples, and a strong presence of families with children. The average income is above the city norm, and the housing stock is predominantly pre-war, giving the streets a cohesive, historic feel.
For your morning bread, the nearest Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and there are several other supermarkets within a ten-minute walk. Schools are also close by: a primary school is a couple of streets away, and secondary schools are within walking distance too. The neighbourhood has a few playgrounds and small parks that are safe for children, according to residents. The municipality Den Haag offers a wide range of cultural amenities, with the city centre and the beach both easily reachable by bike or tram.

Auto-translated to English by AII hate it here, please get me out.
Auto-translated to English by AII think this is a very nice place to have grown up, it is very accessible by public transport and other modes of transport. Yet there are also small streets where you can play outside. There are a few playgrounds and small parks that are safe for children. And there are enough shops in the neighbourhood that you have all your amenities close by.

About Groot Hertoginnelaan 156, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 86% above the neighbourhood average of €885,472, but this home is exceptional: 229 m² is 59% larger than the average of 144 m², and it has an A+ energy label, which only 6% of local listings have. Comparable large pre-war townhouses in Duinoord rarely come to market, so the premium reflects its size, efficiency and location.
An A+ label means the home is very energy-efficient, so you can expect low heating and electricity bills compared to older homes in the area, 92.9% of the neighbourhood's housing stock was built before 1945, and most have much lower labels. The exact savings depend on usage, but the label is a strong indicator of modern insulation and efficient installations.
