Statenkwartier and Duinoord

For decades, the Statenkwartier has been one of the city’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Spacious townhouses dating from the early 20th century, wide avenues, and its proximity to both the beach and downtown explain the enduring interest in the area.

Duinoord is located closer to the city center and has a livelier atmosphere, with Reinkenstraat and Fahrenheitstraat serving as its shopping hub. The housing options there consist mainly of spacious upstairs apartments and renovated townhouses.

Bezuidenhout and Benoordenhout

Bezuidenhout benefits from its direct connection to The Hague Central Station and the Haagse Bos. The neighborhood attracts many commuters and international households, ensuring stable demand in both the sales and rental markets.

Benoordenhout is greener and quieter, with significantly higher prices. Detached and semi-detached homes are in limited supply and typically sell quickly, often within a few weeks.

Scheveningen and the Coast

Living by the sea has its own unique charm. The Havenkwartier and Scheveningen Dorp have undergone a significant revitalization in recent years, with new construction and renovated apartments that appeal to a wide audience.

Keep in mind that the sea breeze requires maintenance: window frames, paintwork, and systems have a noticeably shorter lifespan here than further inland. This is a factor to consider when estimating costs.

Where You Get the Most Value

The neighborhoods with the strongest appreciation in property values are rarely the ones that are already the most expensive today. Areas that benefit from a new tram line, a revitalized shopping district, or large-scale renovation of the housing stock often see the biggest jump in value.

In every purchase recommendation, we take that trend into account rather than just the current price per square meter. Would you like to know what that means for your search area? Feel free to stop by.
