Living between the beach and the Scheveningse Bosjes: how residents experience Belgisch Park

Belgisch Park scores an 8.9 out of 10 based on resident reviews on the neighbourhood page of Belgisch Park. That is high, and as you walk through the streets you understand why. The neighbourhood is nestled between the Scheveningse Bosjes and the coast, with the Frederik Hendriklaan as its beating heart. On that street you will find bakeries, specialist shops, restaurants and terraces. Residents rate amenities, accessibility and green spaces all 10 out of 10. Resident Thorsten (8.6/10) sums it up: "Nice people, never any nuisance, easily accessible by public transport. Next to the neighbourhood is a beautiful nature reserve." That nature reserve is Meijendel, directly north of the neighbourhood, where you can walk or cycle.

Accessibility is indeed strong. Tram lines 1 and 9 stop in the neighbourhood and take you to The Hague Central Station in a quarter of an hour. By bike you are at Scheveningen beach in ten minutes. This does have a downside: in summer it gets busy. Thorsten mentions "busy summers" and resident Egai (9.1/10) confirms this with the remark that the neighbourhood is "nicely touristy" in season. You notice this along the Belgischestraat and towards the boulevard. Parking is then difficult, and the terraces on the Fred are full. If you like peace and quiet, you should know that July and August show a different Belgisch Park than the rest of the year.

In terms of population composition, the neighbourhood is diverse in age but with a focus on those aged 45 and over. The largest group is 45 to 65 years old (2,315 residents), and the 65-plus group is also well represented with 1,750 people. Yet families and young people also live there. Almost half of the residents are highly educated (47%). The atmosphere is refined, quiet outside the season, with a village feel despite the urban location. The Belgisch Park neighbourhood itself forms the core, with the most beautiful pre-war architecture along the Wassenaarsestraat and the avenues towards the sea. Education scores the lowest with a 7.0 in the reviews, something to consider if you have school-age children.

Renting in Belgisch Park: for whom and for whom not?

With an average rent of €2,638 per month in the private sector, a rental home in Belgisch Park is mainly for dual-income couples, expats and professionals with an above-average income. The neighbourhood also attracts pensioners who are comfortably off and want to live close to the beach and green spaces. Are you a starter or looking for something affordable? Then Belgisch Park is probably not the right place, unless you are lucky with the limited supply of housing association homes. Renting an apartment in Belgisch Park is more realistic than a whole house, especially if you live alone. Considering buying instead of renting?
