Den Haag

Living in Den Haag

As the seat of the Dutch government and home to a large international community linked to embassies and international organisations, Den Haag has a noticeably international housing market alongside its Dutch residents. The city centre combines government and business districts with residential streets, while Scheveningen, on the coast, offers a distinct seaside character with its beach, pier, and harbour. Segbroek and Haagse Hout are established residential areas with a mix of housing types, and Laak has seen newer development along the water. Den Haag is well connected by tram and bus, and its coastal location means some neighbourhoods offer easy access to the beach alongside city amenities. Because rental demand from international residents is significant in certain districts, it is worth comparing both centrally located and coastal or suburban areas to find the balance of commute, budget, and lifestyle that suits you.
