Living in Duttendel, The Hague
Duttendel is nestled between the dunes of Westbroekpark and the Scheveningse Bosjes, in the northwest of The Hague. It is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood consisting mainly of detached houses, semi-detached houses and spacious linked houses from the 1950s to 1970s. There are also some larger apartments here and there, but the streetscape is dominated by low-rise buildings with large gardens. The neighbourhood has around 1,310 residents and a notably large proportion of over-65s (405 people), followed by the 45-65 age group. This is not a neighbourhood where you expect late-night bustle: the atmosphere is more village-like than urban.
Facilities in and around Duttendel
To be honest, the facilities in Duttendel itself are limited. There is no supermarket in the neighbourhood. For daily groceries, you need to go to the Frederik Hendriklaan shopping area in Statenkwartier (about a ten-minute bike ride) or towards Scheveningen village. Resident Emma summed it up aptly: "There could have been a few more supermarkets and better public transport nearby. But otherwise a nice neighbourhood close to the city and next to the dunes." There are schools in the immediate vicinity: the International School of The Hague on Wijndaelerduin is within walking distance, and towards Benoordenhout you will find several primary schools. For sports and recreation, Westbroekpark right on your doorstep offers walking routes, a rose garden and playing fields. Tennis park Leimonias is a stone's throw away. The dunes and beach of Scheveningen are within a few minutes by bike.
