Frequently asked questions
About Wassenaarseweg 159, 'S-Gravenhage
Was €1,100,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price was 23% above the neighbourhood average of €893,200, but the house was also 47% larger than the average (252 m² vs 172 m²). The price per square metre worked out to about €4,365, which was below the neighbourhood average of €5,360 per m². So while the total price was high, you were getting more space for your money compared to other homes in the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D, which is common for a house built in 1932. This meant heating costs would be moderate but not as low as a modern home. The neighbourhood has 40% of homes with label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing to improve efficiency.
How big is the garden?
Given the house is a terraced property, the garden is likely at the rear. The neighbourhood has many pre-war houses with generous gardens, so you can expect a decent outdoor space.
What is the neighbourhood like for families?
The Van Hoytemastraat e.o. neighbourhood is very family-friendly, with 405 households with children out of 1,080 total. There are several primary schools within walking distance, and the area has a low crime rate (85 total crimes per year). The streets are quiet and safe, and there are parks nearby.
How far is the train station?
The nearest train station is 1.9 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a short bike ride. This gives you direct connections to The Hague city centre and other major cities.
What supermarkets are nearby?
The closest supermarket is a SPAR at 370 metres, just around the corner. An Albert Heijn is 634 metres away, a five-minute walk. There is also a SPAR express at 900 metres. For a wider selection, you can reach several other supermarkets within a short drive.
Was the house in a conservation area or listed?
The listing did not mention any monument or conservation status. The house was built in 1932, and the entire neighbourhood consists of pre-war buildings, so it may be in a protected cityscape. You can confirm this with the municipality.
