Living in Eykenduinen, The Hague
Eykenduinen is a quiet, green neighbourhood in the southwest of The Hague, nestled between the Lozerlaan, the Laan van Eykenduinen and Zuiderpark. The neighbourhood consists mainly of post-war single-family homes and semi-detached houses from the 1950s and 1960s, with the occasional apartment complex. The streetscape is green and clear: wide avenues, front gardens, little high-rise development. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for families, which is also reflected in the demographics: the 25 to 45 age group is the largest (785 people), and 32% of households are married.
Resident Noah describes it aptly: "A real family neighbourhood. Mostly families live here. There are many schools and playgrounds. It is generally a safe neighbourhood, but people often drive too fast." That observation about traffic is a point of concern, although the neighbourhood as a whole scores highly on safety (8.5/10).
Facilities in Eykenduinen
Eykenduinen is well-equipped for daily life. For groceries, you can go to the supermarkets along the Lozerlaan and the Mgr.

The neighbourhood borders directly on Zuiderpark, one of the largest city parks in The Hague with sports facilities, playgrounds, a recreational lake and extensive walking and cycling paths. This explains the high score for green space (8.5/10). For schools, there are several primary schools in and directly around the neighbourhood, which partly explains the high score for education (8.5/10). Resident Noah confirms this: playgrounds and schools are well present. In terms of dining and shops, the offer within the neighbourhood itself is limited; for that you rely on surrounding neighbourhoods or the city centre.
