Zuidwal, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis apartment on the Gedempte Gracht sits right in the thick of things, the city centre buzz, the shops, the trams. Built in 2022, it offers a generous 157 m² of living space, which is 51% larger than the average rental in the Zuidwal neighbourhood. The rent of €2,720 is 17% above the local average, so you are paying a premium for the size and newness. For context, apartments in Den Haag vary widely, but this one is clearly at the upper end.
Zuidwal is the historic core of The Hague, dense, lively and very urban. With an address density of 8,658 addresses per km², it is one of the most intensely built-up areas in the country. Two residents have shared their thoughts: one calls it a "Multicultural neighbourhood with many amenities" and notes "Increasing greenery, everything in the neighbourhood." Another describes it as "Very centrally located in the shopping district and easily accessible by public transport or bike" but adds that it is "usually very busy on the streets at weekends and sometimes an unsafe atmosphere on the streets at night." Based on these two reviews, the neighbourhood scores a 7.6 out of 10. Most homes are rented (87%), and the area is popular with singles and young professionals. For more detail, see the Zuidwal neighbourhood.
