What to consider when buying in Moerwijk-West
Pros:
- Train station Moerwijk is 800 metres away with direct connections to Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and Leiden.
- Housing stock is mostly post-war single-family homes and maisonettes with gardens; cheaper entry point than central The Hague.
- Supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo) and local shops on Escamplaan and Statenlaan.
- De Poel sports centre and Zuiderpark offer outdoor recreation without leaving the neighborhood.
Cons:
