Waterbuurt, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis mid-terrace house on Koxwater sits in a quiet corner of Waterbuurt, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than part of a city. With 116 m² of living space and a 406 m² plot, it's a proper family home with room to breathe. The energy label A means it's efficient to run, and the price is notably keen: at €425,000 it's the cheapest of the ten homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood and 32% below the average asking price. For context, that's a significant gap compared to other terraced houses in Den Haag.
Waterbuurt is a neighbourhood of contrasts, according to its residents. One resident, who has lived here for 17 years, calls it "a good quiet family neighbourhood" with "lots of lovely families, schools, a big park" and easy motorway access. But others paint a less rosy picture: "chaotic and fake" is how one describes it, citing aggressive neighbours, loitering youths and litter. Another mentions cars racing through the streets and safety concerns. Based on four reviews, the average score is 6.91 out of 10. The neighbourhood is predominantly family-oriented, 55% of homes are owner-occupied and 87% are single-family houses, and most properties were built between 1990 and 2010. This is the neighbourhood Waterbuurt.
For your daily bread, Jumbo and Hoogvliet are both just around the corner, and a SPAR express is a ten-minute walk away. Primary school 't Kraaienest is a couple of streets away, while the nearest secondary school is about a ten-minute walk. The park or public garden is on your doorstep, just 400 metres, so weekend strolls are easy. The municipality Den Haag covers a large area, but here in Ypenburg you're a bit removed from the city centre, with the train station a ten-minute drive away.
At the time of writing, this home is listed through several channels, including Van Oosterom & Verhagen Ypenburg B.V. and on Funda.

Auto-translated to English by AIWhen I first moved here, I thought, oh nice, a nice quiet neighbourhood, but that quickly faded. I myself have aggressive neighbours who throw their joints everywhere and just move your things without asking. Way too many loitering youths in the area, they terrorise the shopping centre every evening, and there's just nothing fun here. It's dirty everywhere, there's litter and rubbish, and it just stinks.
Auto-translated to English by AIYou can't sleep well here because of all the cars racing through the neighbourhood, and every month a corpse is found in the canal, which makes me and my family feel less safe, and that's really quite annoying. I think the location also plays a part; two streets away from me, drug deals happen more often.
Auto-translated to English by AIThere are many loitering youths in the neighbourhood, but recently they have been behaving reasonably. There is plenty for the children to do and there is a bit of greenery everywhere. The education is reasonable and at a good distance.
