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 Zeilstraat 75, 'S-Gravenhage
The asking price is 46% below the average asking price in Scheveningen Badplaats (€550,000), but the home is also much smaller than average (42 m² vs 100 m²). Given the compact size and poor energy label, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a fixer-upper in this location.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, only 24.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is one of the least efficient properties. Budget for significant energy bills and potential renovation costs.
Parking is a known issue. One resident says: 'It's very nice but hard to park here.' The area is very densely built and popular with tourists, so finding a spot can be challenging. If you have a car, check with the municipality about permits and availability.
The neighbourhood is well served by buses and trams, as residents note. The nearest train station is 5 km away, so for longer journeys you'd need a bus or tram to connect to the station. The area is very walkable for daily errands.
The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is about 6 km away, and secondary schools are similarly distant. This is not a neighbourhood where you can walk to school; you'd need a bike or car. For younger children, a child daycare is just around the corner (0.4 km).
The listing does not provide details on the interior condition, but the energy label G and the 1875 build year suggest it likely needs modernisation. The compact 42 m² layout and small garden (35 m² plot) are typical for a historic terraced house. Viewing is essential to assess the state.
