Living in Duinzigt, The Hague

Duinzigt is a green, quiet residential neighbourhood in the northwest of The Hague, nestled between the dune edge and the Laan van Meerdervoort. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s and consists of spacious single-family homes, semi-detached houses and apartments with generous balconies.

The streetscape is defined by the Duinzigterweg, the Abeelstraat and the Iepenlaan, streets with mature trees and relatively little traffic. It is the kind of neighbourhood where you mainly encounter dog walkers in the morning and where it is remarkably quiet in the evening.
