Kijkduin, Den Haag
NeighbourhoodThis corner house on Westkapellelaan sits right where the dunes meet the city, with the sea breeze never far away. At 240 m² on a 1013 m² plot, it is a substantial home from 1925 with an energy label C. The asking price of €1,950,000 is the highest of the 19 homes currently for sale in Kijkduin and sits 68% above the neighbourhood average of €1,162,316, so it is on the high side, reflecting the size and location. For context, end-of-terrace houses in Den Haag vary widely, but this one stands out.
Kijkduin is a special place on the coast of The Hague, with an atmosphere somewhere between quiet and lively. One resident describes it as "natural and healthy" and notes the perfect balance between nature and the city: "As soon as you walk into the dunes, you get the feeling that the hustle and bustle of the city is much further away." Another calls it a "cosy neighbourhood" that feels safe, with plenty of rubbish bins and little litter. The neighbourhood has 2,085 residents, many of them older (735 are 65+), and half the homes are owner-occupied. The neighbourhood Kijkduin is a place where the beach and dunes are part of daily life.
For daily shopping, the Coop is just around the corner, and the Jumbo is a ten-minute walk away. Schools are within walking distance too: primary and secondary schools are about a kilometre away, and there are several sports clubs nearby. The beach, shops and sports facilities are all close, so you can walk to most things. The municipality Den Haag offers a mix of urban and coastal living, and here in Kijkduin that means a quiet residential street with the sea as your backdrop.
At the time of writing the home is listed via Beeuwkes Makelaardij B.V. | Baerz & Co and also appears on Funda, so it is available through several channels.

Kijkduin is a special place on the coast of The Hague, with an atmosphere somewhere between quiet and lively. I remember a summer afternoon when I walked through the neighbourhood. It's an area that has the perfect balance between nature and the city. As soon as you walk into the dunes, you get the feeling that the hustle and bustle of the city is much further away. The beach in Kijkduin is wider than you might expect for a city beach, and the dunes are extensive and fairly quiet. There is always a spot where you can sit without it being too crowded. The sea, the sounds of the waves and the smell of salt water give the whole place a calming vibe. What I also like about Kijkduin is the combination of modern and traditional elements. The boulevard has a few trendy cafés and restaurants, but there are also old beach huts that exude the charm of days gone by. The contrast between the new and the old gives the neighbourhood a unique character. Besides the beach, Kijkduin also has a nice mix of green spaces and residential areas. You can enjoy walking or cycling, and everywhere there are small parks or open spaces that enhance the feeling of freedom. It's the place where you can sit in the evening and enjoy the sunset, accompanied by an ice cream or a drink. All in all, Kijkduin is a place you should visit not only for a holiday. It is a quiet but lively neighbourhood that has a lot to offer both locals and tourists. Whether you love the sea, nature, or just a relaxing day in a pleasant environment, Kijkduin has it all.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living here for a few years but there's nothing here, everything is expensive and the summers are busy, luckily it is very beautiful with little mischief.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood feels safe and as far as I know, no unsafe things happen. There are also plenty of rubbish bins and there is rarely litter on the streets. Many schools in the area. Both primary and secondary schools. Everything is within walking distance. Think of the beach, shops and of course the sports clubs.
