Huygenspark, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis monumental 1885 townhouse in Huygenspark is a rare find: 271 m² of living space on a 266 m² plot, with a B energy label. At €1,195,000 it's the priciest of the 17 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and 135% above the average asking price of €509,353, but then you're getting 140% more space than the typical home here.

Just one resident has reviewed the neighbourhood Huygenspark, giving it an 8.13. They say: "Over the years, this neighbourhood has improved in my opinion. Huygenspark was renovated not long ago and is a vibrant park for all ages." They add that it's an extension of the Schilderswijk district, "but you don't notice any of that here; up to the level of Holland Spoor station, everything is perfectly fine." The neighbourhood is densely populated (8,160 residents) and very urban (7,852 addresses per km²), with mostly flats (93%) and a young skew: 35% are 25-45. The resident sums it up: "Accessibility is top-notch; you're quickly in the city centre, quickly at the train station, and quickly on the tram towards Scheveningen or other places in The Hague."
Daily errands are a breeze: Albert Heijn is just around the corner, Jumbo is a couple of streets away, and Ekoplaza is a five-minute walk. For schools, the nearest primary is De Parachute, with Protestant Christelijke Basisschool Groen van Prinsterer a bit further. Secondary options include Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum, both about 2.5 km away. The municipality Den Haag offers everything you'd expect from a major city, with restaurants and a library within walking distance.

Over the years, this neighbourhood has improved in my opinion. Huygenspark was renovated not long ago and is a vibrant park for all ages. The Huygenspark neighbourhood is an extension of the notorious Schilderswijk district. But you don't notice any of that here; up to the level of Holland Spoor station, everything is perfectly fine. Accessibility is top-notch; you're quickly in the city centre, quickly at the train station, and quickly on the tram towards Scheveningen or other places in The Hague. Plenty of amenities; everything you need can be found in the neighbourhood.

About Huijgensstraat 4, 'S-Gravenhage
It's the most expensive home currently for sale in Huygenspark, and 135% above the neighbourhood average of €509,353. But the house is also 140% larger than the average (271 m² vs 113 m²), on a 266 m² plot, and has a B energy label. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and a central location in a sought-after part of The Hague.
Huygenspark is a green, quiet pocket within the city, according to the one resident review. It's very urban with a young population, mostly flats, but the street itself has a mix of older townhouses. The park is a recent renovation and popular with all ages. Accessibility is excellent: you're close to the train station, trams, and the city centre.
The nearest train station is 0.6 km away, about a seven-minute walk. That's Holland Spoor station, which gives you direct connections to Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and other cities.
Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both within a couple of streets away (about 300 m), and Ekoplaza is a five-minute walk. For a wider selection, the city centre is a short tram ride or a 15-minute walk.
It has an energy label B, which is good for a house built in 1885. In the neighbourhood, 29.2% of homes have label A, 12.5% label B, and 33.3% label C, so this one is above average. You can expect reasonable energy costs, though a monumental house may have higher heating needs.
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 271 m² of living space over multiple floors, it likely has several, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
The plot is 266 m², which suggests there is outdoor space, but the listing does not explicitly mention a garden.
