Rental homes in Bezuidenhout, Den Haag

What does a rental property cost in Bezuidenhout?

Bezuidenhout is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: 58% of the more than 10,800 homes are rental properties. Strikingly, only 14% of these are owned by housing associations — the vast majority (44%) are rented out by private landlords and investors.

The average rental home measures around 100 m². If you compare the WOZ value of €371,000 with The Hague average of €354,000, you can see that Bezuidenhout is slightly above the city average — but not extremely so. The rental prices, however, are, especially at the upper end. Check the overview at the top of this page for current daily prices and available supply.

Bezuidenhout according to residents: quiet, accessible, but not without frustrations

On Buurtje.nl, residents rate Bezuidenhout a 7.4 out of 10. That's a decent score, but there's nuance behind it. What stands out: accessibility scores an 8.2 — and that's no surprise. Den Haag Centraal station lies on the edge of Bezuidenhout-West, the Utrechtsebaan quickly gets you onto the motorway, and tram and bus lines run throughout the neighbourhood. Safety is also rated highly at 8.0. Resident Danylo describes it as a "calm and quiet environment, without incidents or hassle". Resident W simply calls it a "nice, quiet and safe residential area with many amenities nearby".

Yet the picture is not entirely rosy. Kitty, who gives the neighbourhood a 6.5, notes that "it was a nice area at first, but has now deteriorated". She specifically points to nuisance around waste containers — people dumping rubbish next to the bins instead of in them. It's a recognisable problem in The Hague, but in a neighbourhood that otherwise looks tidy, it stands out even more. The municipality of The Hague focuses on enforcement via denhaag.nl, but residents' experiences vary. The score for cleanliness (7.2) confirms that picture.

In terms of atmosphere, Bezuidenhout varies by area. The western part around the station is more urban and busier, with offices and the Haagse Markt within walking distance. The middle section feels more like a classic Hague residential area with pre-war porch flats and 1960s buildings, while the eastern part towards the Haagse Bos becomes greener and more spacious. Green space scores a 7.8 — the Haagse Bos and the Rosarium are real plus points. Education remains the weakest point with a 6.0; there are primary schools in the neighbourhood, but for secondary education you have to leave the area.

Renting in Bezuidenhout: for whom, for whom not?

For single people on a median income, it becomes tight: with an average rent above €2,100 per month in the free sector, you need a solid salary. Social housing is scarce (14% housing association ownership), so the waiting time is long. Families with school-age children should take into account the limited educational facilities.
