Housing

Willemspark

Comfortable Living in the Center of the City The Willemspark-complex is in the Mesdag quarter of The Hague, on the corner of the Javastraat and the Zeestraat. From here, it is but a short walk to the Peace Palace and to the Scheveningse Woods, as well as to the city’s fashionable

N

shopping district.

Not only that, it is a mere 200 meters from the tram and bus stops that will take you to the city center, The Hague Central Station or the beach of Scheveningen. Also by car, via the Javastraat, you exit the city within minutes, on your way to Amsterdam, Utrecht, Rotterdam, or the airport. This early twentieth-century Willemspark building (designed in 1928) used

to house the Ministry of Social Affairs, but has now been converted into a monumental apartment complex that is surrounded by historical 19th-century buildings. It is divided in 66 luxurious rental apartments, varying in size from 70 to approximately 285 m2. More than anything, living comfortably means having control over your

environment. The high-tech facilities of the complex assure you of this. There is a video-intercom connection with the entrance, the doors and windows are fitted with high-quality locks and hinges, while the apartments have an alarm installation, a three-point lock on the front door and a safe. The grounds are surrounded by a six-foot high gate. Furthermore, the complex has a facility manager who lives by the building. Great care and attention has been paid to noise and heat insulation, including special sound-absorbing floors and other sound-absorbing measures. Double glazing, well-insulated roofs and outer walls ensure optimum heat insulation, resulting in lower heating costs and a pleasant indoor environment. Of course, you can regulate the temperature in your apartment with your own heating controls. The property has 91 parking spaces and 11 garages on the grounds and the decorative gates can be opened by remote control. Tenants can make use of the fully-equipped gym in the basement. On the grounds, you will find 150-year-old trees, dating from when the Willemspark was first created. Today they still stand, contributing to the complex’s stately feel. The new plants and trees, as well as the ponds and the lighting will contribute to the restoration of the grounds to their former glory, and the beautifully landscaped and restored gardens will help you find peace of mind in the middle of the lively city of The Hague.
