Heemskerckstraat 24

A grand townhouse on a leafy street

This is a home with presence. On the Heemskerckstraat in the Zeeheldenkwartier, this 1880 terraced house offers 224 m² of living space over four floors, with a 139 m² plot. The asking price of €1,365,000 is well above the neighbourhood average of €657,936, but the floor area is more than double the local norm of 104 m², so the price per square metre is actually in line with the market. For context, terraced houses in Den Haag vary widely, and this one sits at the upper end.

Zeeheldenkwartier: a lively, central neighbourhood

The Zeeheldenkwartier is one of The Hague's most sought-after areas, with a dense urban feel (address density 6,873 per km²). It's a mix of young professionals, families and older residents, with many single-person households. Residents appreciate the diversity: one says 'Lots of diversity, unfortunately sometimes crime, Beautiful neighbourhood where a lot is currently under construction, it looks promising.' Another, newer to the area, calls it 'Pretty good'. The neighbourhood has a strong sense of community, and the municipality of Den Haag invests in its upkeep.

Daily life on the Heemskerckstraat

For your morning bread, the Coop is just around the corner, and Albert Heijn is a couple of streets away. There are several primary schools within walking distance, including De Parachute (a ten-minute walk) and the Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer (a bit further). Secondary schools like Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are also within reach. The street itself is quiet for its central location, with a park or garden square a five-minute walk away.

The home is listed through two channels: Beeuwkes Makelaardij B.V. | Baerz & Co and Funda. At present, the asking price reflects the generous space and location.
