Living in Bosjes van Pex, The Hague
Bosjes van Pex is a small, quiet residential neighbourhood on the edge of the dune area in western The Hague, located in the district Bohemen en Meer en Bos. The neighbourhood owes its name to the woods and green strips that surround the area, and that greenery is also the most characteristic feature of living here. It is not an urban neighbourhood with busy shopping streets, but a subdued, green enclave with detached homes, villas and more spacious semi-detached houses. The buildings largely date from the 1950s and 1960s, with solid construction, large gardens and wide streets. Apartments are rare; the vast majority of the supply consists of ground-floor homes.
With 380 residents, Bosjes van Pex is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in The Hague. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (130 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (105 residents). That says something about the character: this is not a neighbourhood for students or starters looking for a vibrant nightlife. It is quiet, neighbours know each other, and that is both appreciated by residents and sometimes experienced as a drawback if you are looking for more liveliness.
Facilities in and around Bosjes van Pex
The neighbourhood itself has hardly any independent facilities, which is not surprising for such a small residential area. For daily groceries, residents rely on the surrounding neighbourhoods. An Albert Heijn and other supermarkets can be found towards Kijkduin or via the Nieuwe Parklaan. Primary schools in the immediate vicinity are located in adjacent neighbourhoods such as Meer en Bos and Bohemen. For secondary education and high schools, The Hague is well equipped, but that requires a bike ride or a bus trip. Westbroekpark and the Scheveningse Bosjes are within cycling distance and offer space for walking and recreation. Sports clubs and tennis clubs can be found in the neighbouring districts. The proximity of the dunes and the beach of Kijkduin is a conscious choice for many residents to live here.
