Living in Duindigt met Groenendaal, Wassenaar
Duindigt met Groenendaal is one of the smallest and most exclusive neighbourhoods of Wassenaar, with only 235 residents spread across 97 homes. The neighbourhood takes its name from the renowned Renbaan Duindigt, one of the oldest and most famous horse racing tracks in the Netherlands, and the Groenendaal estate bordering the Haagse Bos. Its character is rural and secluded: large plots, spacious villas and detached homes surrounded by greenery. This is not a neighbourhood of apartment blocks or terraced houses. Anyone looking for a rental home here seeks space, privacy and a green environment within walking distance of The Hague.
The 45-65 age group forms the largest demographic, and nearly half of the residents are married. The average income is €58,500 per year, slightly below the municipal average of €63,400 but well above the national median. More than half of the residents have a higher education degree.
