Valkenboskwartier, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis is a home with presence. Laan van Meerdervoort is one of The Hague's longest and most distinguished streets, and this 1907 townhouse sits on it with real authority. The floor area of 293 m² is exceptionally generous, more than three times the average in the Valkenboskwartier, and the price reflects that: at €1,165,000 it is the most expensive of the 104 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood, and 158% above the average asking price. For context, that's a premium you pay for space and character in a city where terraced houses in Den Haag are always in demand.
The Valkenboskwartier is a lively, urban area with a real mix of people. Of the 11,640 residents, a third are between 25 and 45, and there are plenty of singles (3,555 one-person households) alongside families with children (1,445). The neighbourhood is densely built, 8,568 addresses per km², so it feels very much like city living. Reviews are mixed: one resident calls it a "very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible", while another complains "it smells very bad". A third says it's "quite noisy because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood". The municipality Den Haag covers a huge area, but this pocket is well placed for both the city centre and the coast.
For your morning bread and milk, the PLUS is just around the corner, and the Jumbo is a couple of streets away. The Albert Heijn is a five-minute walk. Schools are a bit further out, the nearest primary, De Parachute, is a ten-minute walk, and the Protestant Christian primary Groen van Prinsterer is about the same. For secondary education, Sint-Maartenscollege and Gymnasium Novum are both within a ten-minute walk. A GP and a restaurant are on your doorstep, and the library is a couple of streets away.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Hans Scheenstra Makelaardij and also appears on Huispedia, so it is available through several channels.

Very nice neighbourhood, near the centre and easily accessible
Auto-translated to English by AIit smells very bad
Auto-translated to English by AIQuite noisy neighbourhood because you live next to a busy road, but otherwise always a very nice neighbourhood. You can live here in larger or smaller homes. It's tidy and you're quickly in the centre of The Hague or at the beach, for example. Lovely people around you. It's a 5-minute walk from the Albert Heijn. There are also small shops within walking distance. There's a good driving school, Phillipo.
Auto-translated to English by AIA normal neighbourhood, not busy or anything like that. Lots of shops nearby.
Auto-translated to English by AIAs far as the hygienic condition is concerned, there is much room for improvement. This by making offenders clean up their own mess and imposing much higher fines. This does mean that there should be better monitoring and that the supervisory service should not just drive by. This prevents nuisance from pests and pollution. But it also gives a safer feeling for the entire neighbourhood.

About Laan van Meerdervoort 360, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 158% above the average asking price in the Valkenboskwartier (€451,726) and is the highest of the 104 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, this home is also exceptional: at 293 m², it is 212% larger than the average home in the area. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value that extra space and the character of a 1907 townhouse on a famous avenue.
The energy label is C. That is a middling score, the home is not particularly efficient, but it is not a draughty old building either. In the Valkenboskwartier, 22.3% of homes have label C, while 40.2% have a label D or lower. You can expect reasonable energy costs, but not the low bills of a modern A-label home.
The plot is 166 m². The listing does not mention a garden, terrace or balcony, so it is not clear what outdoor space is included. The home is a townhouse on a busy road, so any garden is likely to be at the rear. You would need to check the floor plan or visit to see what is there.
The nearest train station is 4.1 km away. That is a ten-minute cycle or a short bus ride. The home is better placed for tram and bus routes along Laan van Meerdervoort, which connect to the city centre and The Hague Central station.
The Valkenboskwartier has a mix of residents: 1,445 households with children and 1,475 without. One resident says it is a "good neighbourhood for families", though notes it can be noisy due to the busy road. There are several primary and secondary schools within walking distance, and parks are about a ten-minute walk away.
The listing does not state the number of rooms or bedrooms. With 293 m² of floor space over several floors, it is likely to have multiple bedrooms and living areas, but the exact layout is not provided. You would need to check the floor plan or contact the agent.
