Scheveningen Badplaats, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis 1908 terraced house on Werfstraat sits in the heart of Scheveningen Badplaats, a stone's throw from the beach and promenade. With 42 m² of living space and an energy label F, it's a small home with character, and a price tag that reflects that. At €339,000, the asking price is 38% below the neighbourhood average of €550,000, which makes it a keen entry point into this sought-after coastal area. For context, terraced houses in Den Haag vary widely, but this one stands out for its affordability.
Scheveningen Badplaats is a lively seaside neighbourhood where tourism meets a tight-knit community. One resident describes it as a "Wonderful place to live," though they note that "people leave their rubbish lying around" and that the Keizerstraat could be better signposted. Another says, "It's very nice but hard to park here," while a third appreciates that "many things are within reach like buses and trams." Based on three reviews, the neighbourhood scores an 8.3 out of 10. It's a dense, urban area (over 3,900 addresses per km²) with a mix of singles and families. The neighbourhood Scheveningen Badplaats is known for its high proportion of pre-war housing and a vibrant, if sometimes messy, street life.
For daily errands, you have an Albert Heijn just around the corner and a Hoogvliet a couple of streets away. Schools are a bit further: the nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 6 km away, so you'd likely need a bike or car for the school run. The beach and restaurants are on your doorstep, the nearest restaurant is just 200 m away. The municipality Den Haag offers plenty of urban amenities, but this part of Scheveningen feels like its own village by the sea.
At the time of writing, the home is listed through several channels, including Dekker Makelaars. The listing is available on multiple platforms, so you can compare details easily.

Unfortunately, people leave their rubbish lying around. Tourism is big, but visitors are usually up for a chat. Just behind the tourist coast is 'the village'. Cosy with small shops. Keizerstraat could be better signposted. There is a lot of vacancy; it could be a cosy street if property prices weren't so high. I'm in favour of a cosier Keizerstraat that isn't too touristy but does connect with a tourist area…

About Werfstraat 40, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price of €339,000 is 38% below the average asking price in Scheveningen Badplaats (€550,000). However, the home is also much smaller than average (42 m² vs 100 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Given the compact size and poor energy rating, the price seems in line with what you'd expect for a small, characterful home in a prime seaside location.
The energy label is F, which is poor. In a neighbourhood where most homes have better labels (only 24.7% are D or lower), this home will have higher heating and electricity costs. You should budget for significant energy bills, especially in winter.
Parking is a known issue in Scheveningen Badplaats. One resident says, "It's very nice but hard to park here." The area is very dense and popular with tourists, so finding a spot can be challenging. If you have a car, you may need to rely on paid parking or a permit.
The nearest train station is 5 km away, so it's not within walking distance. However, residents mention that buses and trams are within reach, making it possible to get around without a car.
The house was built in 1908, so it's over a century old. The energy label F suggests it may need insulation or modernisation. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you should expect some maintenance and upgrades.
Scheveningen Badplaats has a mix of residents: about 13% of households have children, while 30% are single-person households. There are primary schools within a few kilometres, but the nearest is about 6 km away. The area is lively and touristy, which some families may enjoy, but others might find it busy.
