Living in Arendsdorp, The Hague

Arendsdorp is nestled between the Laan van Meerdervoort, the Haagse Beemden and the greenery of the Scheveningse Bosjes.

Here you will find detached houses, semi-detached houses and spacious apartments, often with a balcony or garden. There is hardly any new construction; the streetscape has remained fairly consistent since the post-war building period.
