Vogelwijk, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1923 terraced house on Sportlaan sits in the leafy Vogelwijk, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than part of a big city. With 154 m² of living space and a 152 m² plot, it offers generous proportions for a family home. The energy label B means it's reasonably efficient for its age. At €885,000, the asking price is 21% below the neighbourhood average of €1,117,333, making it a keen entry point compared to other terraced houses in Den Haag.
Vogelwijk is one of The Hague's most sought-after residential areas, and the numbers back it up: 90% of homes are owner-occupied, and 73% are single-family houses. Residents give it an 8.13 out of 10. One resident says: "Safe neighbourhood with lots of nature, just a bit lacking in amenities." Another adds: "Very nice neighbourhood, I've lived here since birth. You're at the beach in a few minutes and in the city centre in half an hour. Quiet area, lots of green, good community." The municipality Den Haag has a strong urban density here (2,884 addresses per km²), yet the area feels calm and spacious.
For your morning bread, Albert Heijn is just around the corner, with PLUS and Hoogvliet a couple of streets away. Schools are close by: De Parachute primary school is a ten-minute walk, and the Protestant Christian Groen van Prinsterer school is a bit further. The neighbourhood park is on your doorstep, and a GP is a five-minute walk. The train station is 6 km away, so you'll likely cycle or drive for longer journeys.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Joost van Vliet Makelaars o.g. and Funda.

Safe neighbourhood with lots of nature, just a bit lacking in amenities
Auto-translated to English by AIVery nice neighbourhood, I've lived here since birth. You're at the beach in a few minutes and in the city centre in half an hour. Quiet area, lots of green, good community. You know the whole street and neighbours regularly come by for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. It's a clean neighbourhood without litter lying around, many detached and semi-detached houses. Helderingschool and RKBS De Parkiet are less than 5 minutes apart. There is also room for special education. There is little car traffic, many people cycle in the neighbourhood. This gives a lot of peace.
Auto-translated to English by AIDe Vogelwijk in The Hague is really a nice place! It's so quiet and green, perfect for a relaxing walk. You can stroll through the Vogelwijkpark, enjoy nature, and maybe even spot some local animals. It just feels very pleasant to be there, especially when the sun is shining!
Auto-translated to English by AIMy parents and I have been living in De Vogelwijk for 5 years now and we like it. Apart from the relatively high average age, quite a lot still happens. There are many schools in the neighbourhood and plenty of space for children to play outside. There are no high-rise buildings, so it's very light everywhere. The location is great because the sea is a 10-minute walk away and the Jumbo, hairdresser, baker and Kruidvat are even closer. It's usually very quiet in the evenings, except when there's been a party at the Westwood, but even that is minimal. Overall, I think De Vogelwijk is a nice and beautiful neighbourhood.

About Sportlaan 53, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 21% below the average asking price in Vogelwijk (€1,117,333) and also below the median of €1,167,500. Given that similar homes in the area sell for an average of €1,040,808, this listing is priced keenly. However, the house dates from 1923, so you may want to factor in potential maintenance costs.
Vogelwijk is very family-friendly: 45% of households have children, and the area is quiet with little car traffic. Residents mention that children can cycle safely and that there is a strong sense of community. Schools like De Parachute and Groen van Prinsterer are within walking distance.
The home has energy label B, which is good for a house built in 1923. It means the property is reasonably energy-efficient, with likely double glazing and decent insulation. You can expect lower energy bills compared to older homes with labels D or lower.
Residents say you can reach the beach in a few minutes by bike or car, and the city centre in about half an hour. The train station is 6 km away, so public transport to other cities is accessible but not on your doorstep.
For daily groceries, Albert Heijn is 472 metres away, and PLUS and Hoogvliet are within a kilometre. A GP and a park are also close. However, one resident notes that amenities are "a bit lacking", so for a wider range of shops or restaurants, you may need to travel a bit further.
Given the house type (terraced), you can expect a private outdoor space, but you would need to view the property to see the exact setup.
