What does a rental property cost in the Bomen- en Bloemenbuurt?
The Bomen- en Bloemenbuurt is predominantly an owner-occupied district: 68% of the more than 7,700 homes are owned, and only 32% are rented. Of those rental properties, only 6% are managed by a housing association, meaning the social rental market here is extremely tight. The vast majority of rental supply (26% of the stock) comes from private and other landlords in the free sector. With an average WOZ value of €408,000, well above The Hague average of €354,000, you are in one of the more expensive districts of Den Haag.
Rental prices in the free sector reflect that. Over the past twelve months, the average rent was €2,189 per month for an average area of 116 m². The range is considerable: from around €750 for a smaller apartment to €4,900 for larger family homes. These are annual averages based on 223 rented properties in the free sector, excluding social housing. Want to know what is available today and at what price?

Village character behind The Hague facades: how residents experience the neighbourhood
With a resident score of 8.5 out of 10 based on 11 reviews, the Bomen- en Bloemenbuurt scores remarkably high. Residents are particularly positive about safety (9.0), accessibility (8.8) and amenities (8.9). One resident sums it up succinctly: "Beautiful neighbourhood to live, work and grow old in." That review also mentions the village character, the friendly atmosphere and the beautiful architecture. That is true: the 1920s and 1930s buildings with wide avenues, front gardens and plenty of greenery give the district a look you do not find everywhere in The Hague. More experiences and all sub-scores can be found on the district page with resident reviews.
The Fahrenheitstraat is the beating heart of the neighbourhood: a lively shopping street with specialist shops, terraces and daily groceries. Residents call it a "cosy, atmospheric neighbourhood with many amenities and schools, next to a nice shopping street." Those looking with children will find in Bloemenbuurt-West, among others, the Zonnebloemschool and the Bosjes van Pex, where children can entertain themselves for hours. Sports clubs such as riding school De Wildhoef, HBS and Quick are within walking distance. The education score of 8.4 is therefore not surprising in a district where 56% of residents are highly educated.
Not everyone is equally enthusiastic, however. One resident gave a 6.1 and called the neighbourhood "superficial and boring," with some neighbourhood inconvenience. That is the downside of a neat, quiet district: if you are looking for a vibrant nightlife or cultural dynamism, you will have to take the tram to the city centre. Accessibility for that is excellent, with tram lines towards Central Station and Scheveningen. In Bloemenbuurt-Oost and the Bomenbuurt you will find subtle differences in atmosphere and price level, so it pays to compare per neighbourhood. Information about parking permits and municipal facilities can be found on the website of the municipality of Den Haag.

Auto-translated to English by AII live here so I think it's a nice place. There are many children and you can easily entertain your child at the playground of the Zonnebloemschool or in the woods; the Bosjes van Pex. There you have the riding school De Wildhoef, HBS, Quick and many more clubs and sports associations. It's a nice neighbourhood, there are many animals, lots of greenery and it's a sporty neighbourhood. You know almost everyone here and it's a nice community. Both child and parent enjoy themselves in de bloemenbuurt!

Auto-translated to English by AII live opposite a school playground, which is very nice for the children to play outside. The Fahrenheitstraat is close for practically everyone, and there are also various sports clubs in the neighbourhood. There is a super fun Halloween party every year, and the EBA (an organisation for the Aucubastraat, Egelantierstraat and Berberisstraat) is great.
Auto-translated to English by AIIn my experience, I've lived in the neighbourhood for a long time, but it doesn't take long to get to know people. This is partly due to the Fahrenheitstraat, where you might run into neighbours and other people from the area, so you get to know them quickly. Being alone is also possible, of course; you can enjoy nature in the park near the Albert Heijn or take a walk on the Ieplaan. You can also easily walk your dog here, as there are many trees in the neighbourhood (which matches the name ;)). The neighbourhood is always taken care of, including after festivals on the Fahrenheitstraat that generate a lot of mess. However, a downside is that there is often uncollected dog poop on the pavement, but this eventually gets cleaned up (partly by other residents). The Bomenbuurt is very centrally located, so you can easily get to Scheveningen, the city centre, and several schools to choose from. The amenities are therefore virtually endless. I hope to see you soon if you also come to live in the neighbourhood; good luck!
