A social spot by the sea
This apartment on Tesselsestraat sits in Duindorp, a neighbourhood where people genuinely look out for each other. At €982 per month, the rent sat well below the local average, and it was one of the more affordable options among the [apartments in Den Haag]. The home itself is a social housing rental, so it is let through the usual channels rather than the open market. This home has not been online since 2 September 2026.
Duindorp
Duindorp is a close-knit community, and one resident sums it up neatly: "A very social neighbourhood where people look out for each other and help each other. Sometimes people wash each other's cars, repair bikes, spontaneous gifts. Help when something is wrong." The same resident notes the only downside as "a lot of fireworks on New Year's Eve," and adds that it "could use more greenery and better public transport to the city." The biggest draw, they say, is being "right on the beach and sea and the beautiful Westduin area." Based on one review, this is a place where neighbours become friends. The area is part of [the municipality of Den Haag], with a mix of families and single-person households.
Life on the street
For daily errands, the Hoogvliet supermarket is just around the corner, with an Albert Heijn and a Jumbo a short walk further. The nearest primary school, De Parachute, is a bit further out, while secondary options like Sint-Maartenscollege are within reach. The beach and the Westduin area are a real highlight, offering a quick escape to the coast. The train station is about six kilometres away, so a car or bike is handy for longer trips into the city.
