Rental homes in Bezuidenhout-Midden, Den Haag

Rental prices and market figures for Bezuidenhout-Midden, The Hague

The rental market in Bezuidenhout-Midden is firmly priced, which fits the position of this neighbourhood as one of the more expensive parts of The Hague. The housing stock of around 2,505 homes is split exactly fifty-fifty: 50% rental and 50% owner-occupied. Strikingly, only 3% of the total housing stock is owned by housing associations. The vast majority of rental homes (47%) therefore fall under private landlords and the free sector. Finding social housing here is particularly difficult.

In the free sector (excluding social housing and room rentals), the average rental price over the past twelve months was €2,258 per month, with a range of €425 to €4,000. With an average floor area of 111 m², this works out at around €20.30 per square metre. That is considerably higher than the average in the broader district Bezuidenhout and certainly more expensive than the The Hague average. The WOZ value of €464,000 confirms that picture: it is well above the district average of €371,000 and the municipal average of €354,000. The average income of €56,300 is also above average.
