Huygenspark, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis townhouse on Repelaerstraat sits in Huygenspark, a neighbourhood that has quietly improved over the years. With 207 m² of living space, it's a generous home for someone who wants room to spread out. The rent of €2,500 is on the high side, 25% above the neighbourhood average of €1,994, but the size is exceptional, 75% larger than the typical 118 m² rental in the area. For context, terraced houses in Den Haag in this price bracket are rare.
Huygenspark is a pocket of calm next to the busy Schilderswijk. One resident sums it up: "Green, quiet and accessible neighbourhood." They note that the park itself was renovated not long ago and is now a vibrant space for all ages. The area is well connected, you're quickly in the city centre, at the station, or on a tram to Scheveningen. Amenities are plentiful, with everything you need within reach. The neighbourhood Huygenspark is mostly flats (93% of homes), so a townhouse like this stands out.
For daily shopping, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Jumbo a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further out: De Parachute primary school is a ten-minute walk, and the Sint-Maartenscollege secondary school is about a 15-minute walk. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of cultural options, with a restaurant just around the corner and a library a short walk away.
At the time of writing the home is listed through several channels, including VERRA Makelaars, Funda, Pararius and Vastgoed Nederland.

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 Repelaerstraat 35, 'S-Gravenhage
The rent of €2,500 is 25% above the neighbourhood average of €1,994. However, this home is also 75% larger than the typical rental in Huygenspark (207 m² vs 118 m²). Given the size and the fact that it's a townhouse in an area dominated by flats, the price reflects the extra space. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value square metres.
Huygenspark is described by a resident as a green, quiet and accessible neighbourhood. The park was renovated recently and is a vibrant spot. The area is well connected to the city centre, the train station and trams. Amenities are plentiful, and despite being next to the Schilderswijk, residents say you don't notice any of that here.
The energy label is C. That means the home has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, but it's not the most modern. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. Label C is common for a house built in 1915.
The nearest train station is 0.6 km away, which is about a seven-minute walk. That makes it easy to get to other parts of The Hague or further afield.
There are several supermarkets within a few minutes' walk: an Albert Heijn at 467 m, a Jumbo at 468 m, another Albert Heijn at 496 m, and an Ekoplaza at 516 m. So daily shopping is very convenient.
Rental homes in Huygenspark are typically rented out within 17 days on average. That suggests a fairly active market, so if you're interested, it's worth acting promptly.
