Scheveningen Badplaats, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1889 terraced house on Havenkade sits right in the heart of Scheveningen Badplaats, where the sea breeze and beach life are literally on your doorstep. With 110 m² of living space and a compact 48 m² plot, it's a typical old-town home with character. The asking price of €500,000 is in line with the market, the median in the neighbourhood is €499,500, and terraced houses in Den Haag sell for around that figure.
Scheveningen Badplaats is a lively seaside neighbourhood with a village feel behind the tourist strip. One resident says: "Wonderful place to live, just behind the tourist coast is 'the village', cosy with small shops." Another adds: "It's very nice but hard to park here." A third notes: "Many things are within reach like buses and trams." The area is densely built and very urban, with mostly smaller households and a mix of ages. The neighbourhood Scheveningen Badplaats has a high proportion of pre-war homes, which fits this 1889 house.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Hoogvliet is a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further, the nearest primary school is about a ten-minute walk. The beach and promenade are on your doorstep, with restaurants and cafés a few steps away. The municipality Den Haag offers all city amenities, though the train station is a longer trip.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Janson Makelaardij B.V. and also appears on another platform.

Unfortunately, people leave their rubbish lying around. Tourism is big, but visitors are usually up for a chat. Just behind the tourist coast is 'the village'. Cosy with small shops. Keizerstraat could be better signposted. There is a lot of vacancy; it could be a cosy street if property prices weren't so high. I'm in favour of a cosier Keizerstraat that isn't too touristy but does connect with a tourist area…

About Havenkade 56, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €500,000 is very close to the neighbourhood median of €499,500, so it's in line with the market. The average price per m² in the area is €5,793, which for 110 m² would come to about €637,000, but that average includes larger homes. Given the compact plot and older construction, the price seems reasonable.
The home has energy label D. In the neighbourhood, about 25% of homes have label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a house from 1889. Label D means moderate efficiency, you can expect higher energy costs than a modern home, but it's not the worst. The majority of homes in the area (40%) have label C, so D is a step below average.
Scheveningen Badplaats is very lively, with shops, restaurants and the beach within walking distance. Residents appreciate the cosy village atmosphere behind the tourist front. Parking is mentioned as a challenge. Public transport is good, with buses and trams nearby. The area is densely populated and very urban, so expect noise and activity.
One resident specifically notes that parking is hard. The neighbourhood is very dense (over 3,900 addresses per km²), so street parking is likely competitive. The home does not have a garage or private parking mentioned, so you would rely on public parking permits.
The house was built in 1889, so it's over 130 years old. The energy label D suggests some modernisation but not a full retrofit. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect original features but also potential maintenance needs typical of an old townhouse.
The nearest primary school is about 700 metres away, a ten-minute walk. Secondary schools are further, around 1.1 km. The area has several schools within a couple of kilometres, but the immediate vicinity is more focused on tourism and retail.
