Rental homes in Duinoord, Den Haag

What does a rental property cost in Duinoord? Free sector from €880 to €6,000

Duinoord is a neighbourhood where renting and buying are almost evenly split: 50% of the housing stock is rental, 49% owner-occupied. Notably, only 5% of rental properties are owned by housing associations. The vast majority, around 45%, is offered by private landlords and investors. This means you can hardly find a social rental property in Duinoord and will almost always be looking in the free sector. The average rent in the free sector over the past twelve months was €2,242 per month, with a range of €880 to €6,000. The average floor area was 98 m². That is substantial, especially when compared to the average income of €57,500 in the neighbourhood. The WOZ value of homes in Duinoord is €518,000, well above The Hague average of €354,000.

Duinoord according to residents: excellent accessibility, but where is the community?

On Buurtje.nl, Duinoord scores a 5.8 out of 10 based on resident experiences. That is not a score to write home about, and the sub-scores show why. Accessibility gets a perfect 10: the tram lines on Thomsonlaan and Frederik Hendriklaan take you to Den Haag Centraal or Scheveningen in a few minutes. By bike, you can be at the beach in ten minutes. Education scores a 7.0, logical given the proximity of schools on Stadhoudersplantsoen and in the surrounding streets.

But there are clear pain points. Community feeling scores a meagre 3.5 and green space a 4.0. Duinoord is densely built, mainly with pre-war apartment buildings and few parks within the neighbourhood boundaries. Westbroekpark is just outside the neighbourhood, and for serious greenery you need to head towards Westbroekpark and Duttendel. Resident Bert summed up his experience succinctly with the words: "I hate it here, please get me out." Despite the title "super respectful", he gave it a 3.0 out of 10. With only two reviews, that picture is not representative of the entire neighbourhood, but the signal about a lack of connection and green space comes up more often in conversations about Duinoord.

The Frederik Hendriklaan, called "de Fred" by locals, is the neighbourhood's shopping street. Here you will find speciality shops, an Albert Heijn, coffee shops and restaurants. The amenities score is 6.0, which fits the picture: daily necessities are within reach, but for major shopping or a cinema you go to the city centre. The area around Sweelinckplein is slightly greener and quieter, with the music school and a bit more space. Housing itself scores a 4.5. Many buildings are old and not always well insulated, which is reflected in the relatively low gas consumption of 1,050 m³ (many residents heat frugally because it is expensive, not because the insulation is good).

Renting in Duinoord: suitable for working singles, less so for families on a tight budget

If you are looking for more space and greenery, Benoordenhout is an option, although prices there are even higher. Students and starters with a smaller budget are out of luck: with an average of €2,242 per month, a rental home here is not cheap. Considering buying instead?
