Living in Bloemenbuurt-Oost: village character close to the sea

Bloemenbuurt-Oost is one of those neighbourhoods in The Hague where you sometimes forget you are living in a big city. The streets are named after flowers (Acaciastraat, Anjelierstraat, Aucubastraat) and have a quiet, almost village-like character. The buildings largely date from the interwar period and the early post-war era: lots of 1930s architecture with wide streets, characteristic front gardens and a mix of single-family homes, upstairs-downstairs flats and small-scale apartments. One resident describes it aptly: "The Bloemenbuurt is a neighbourhood with a somewhat village-like character. Cosy, friendly with a pleasant social signature. Beautiful architecture and lots of greenery." The neighbourhood score of 8.0 out of 10 based on resident reviews confirms that picture.

The Fahrenheitstraat is the shopping street where residents go most often. Within a few minutes' walk you will find an Albert Heijn, various specialist shops, restaurants, cafés and a pharmacy.

There are various sports clubs active in the neighbourhood, and the Zuiderpark and the Bosjes van Pex are within cycling distance.

Let's be honest: renting an apartment in Bloemenbuurt-Oost is not cheap and the supply is limited.
