Componistenbuurt, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis terraced house on Parsifalstraat sits in a quiet corner of Den Haag, where the streets are lined with mature trees and pre-war architecture. With 143 m² of living space, it is a roomy home for someone who values space over a modern layout. The asking price of €680,000 is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €476,000, which is a keen price for a home of this size, but then, it is also 38% larger than the typical Componistenbuurt home. For context, terraced houses in Den Haag vary widely, and this one sits at the upper end.
The Componistenbuurt is a residential pocket of Den Haag with a calm, almost village-like atmosphere. Most homes are owner-occupied (86%), and the population skews older, a third of residents are 65 or over. There are few children here, and the streets are quiet. The neighbourhood has no resident reviews to share, but the figures speak for themselves: it is a place where people stay put. The Componistenbuurt neighbourhood is well established, with most homes built before 1970.
For your morning bread run, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, and Aldi is similarly close. A Jumbo is a ten-minute walk away. Schools are a bit further, the nearest primary school, WSKO r-.k basisschool Verburch-hof, is a 4 km drive, so this is not a neighbourhood where you walk the kids to school. A GP is on your doorstep, and the park is just a couple of streets away. The municipality of Den Haag covers a large area, so amenities vary by pocket.
At present, the home is listed through several channels, including Olsthoorn NVM Makelaars, Olsthoorn Makelaars Haagse Hout B.V. on Pararius, and Olsthoorn NVM Makelaars on Funda.

About Parsifalstraat 11, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €476,000, but the home is also 38% larger than the typical Componistenbuurt home (143 m² vs 104 m²). The price per m² works out at about €4,755, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,547 per m². So you are paying a premium for extra space, not for the location alone.
The home has energy label D. That is a middling score, not terrible, but not efficient either. In the Componistenbuurt, all homes for sale have label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. You can expect higher heating costs than a modern home, but no surprises for the neighbourhood.
The nearest train station is 5.8 km away. That is a drive or a bus ride rather than a walk. The neighbourhood is not well connected by rail, so a car or bicycle is more practical for longer journeys.
The Componistenbuurt has few children, only about 200 residents under 15 out of 1,815. Most households are single-person or couples without children. The streets are quiet, and there is a park nearby, but schools are a 4 km drive away. It is more suited to older residents or professionals who value peace and space.
There are currently 5 homes for sale in the Componistenbuurt, with prices ranging from €275,000 to €850,000. This home is at the higher end, but it is also one of the largest. In the past year, 14 homes sold, with an average selling price of €559,107 and an average time on market of 228 days.
The neighbourhood recorded 58 total crimes in the latest data. That is a low number for an urban area with over 1,800 residents. The area feels safe and residential, with little street-level activity.
Given the house is a terraced property from 1936, a rear garden is common, but it is not confirmed in the data.
