Plan Zuid, Westland
NeighbourhoodThis two-bedroom apartment on Lenteblok 129 sits in a leafy part of Plan Zuid, a neighbourhood that feels more like a village than a suburb of The Hague. At €765 per month, the rent is slightly above the local average of €700, but the 77 m² floor area is half the size of the typical rental in the area, so you are paying a premium for the location rather than space. For context, apartments in Westland tend to be smaller, but this one is still compact.
Plan Zuid is a well-established residential area with a mix of houses and low-rise flats. One resident, who has lived here for 16.5 years, calls it a "lovely neighbourhood" and says it is "absolutely fine" with "plenty of nature and amenities." The streets are quiet, the gardens are well kept, and there is a real sense of community. The neighbourhood Plan Zuid is home to many families and older residents, nearly a third of the population is 65 or over, and the average household size is 2.3 people. With a very high density of addresses (2,732 per km²), it is an urban setting, but the many parks and green spaces soften the feel.
Your morning routine could start at Albert Heijn, just a couple of streets away, or Jumbo, which is a five-minute walk. For a quick top-up, SPAR express is also within walking distance. There are three primary schools within a few hundred metres: OBS De Kyckert (a two-minute walk), WSKO Mariaschool, and WSKO St. Jozefbasisschool, so the school run is a doddle. The municipality Westland is known for its greenhouse horticulture, but here in Plan Zuid you are also close to parks and a library, both about a ten-minute walk away.
