Renting in Forepark: a small private sector in a buyer's neighbourhood
Forepark is one of the smallest and most exclusive neighbourhoods in The Hague. The housing stock consists of only 47 homes, of which just 13% is available for rent. There are no social housing units: housing association ownership is zero percent, and the entire rental stock consists of private rentals. This makes renting in Forepark scarce and expensive. The average WOZ value is €755,000, more than twice the Hague average of €354,000. This difference is reflected in rental prices: anyone looking for a rental home here almost always operates in the higher segment of the private sector. Current rental prices and the average time on the market can be found at the top of this page, where the most recent market data is updated daily.
Forepark: living among greenery and tranquillity, far from the hustle and bustle of The Hague
Forepark does not feel like a city neighbourhood. The area borders the Forepark itself, a large recreational area on the edge of The Hague, and the buildings mainly consist of spacious detached houses and villas. With 145 residents, it is one of the smallest neighbourhoods in the city, and you can tell. It is quiet. There are no trams, no supermarkets within walking distance, and the streets are wide and peaceful. Those who live here consciously choose space and privacy over urban vibrancy.
On the neighbourhood page for Forepark you will find resident reviews and extensive neighbourhood data. Residents appreciate the tranquillity and green surroundings, but are also honest about what the neighbourhood lacks. A frequently mentioned point is the limited walkability: for daily errands you rely on a car or bicycle. Public transport is also not a strong point of Forepark. The nearby neighbourhood De Rivieren offers slightly more amenities and is a good alternative for some renters, as is the adjacent Vlietzoom-Oost.
The resident population is striking: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years old, followed by those aged 65 and over. Young families and students are hardly represented. This colours the atmosphere of the neighbourhood: it is quiet, affluent, and not very anonymous. The average income of €53,900 per year is well above the Hague average of €38,600. Renting in Forepark suits a specific type of resident, and that is visible in the streets.
Renting in Forepark: who does it work for, and who not?
Renting a home in Forepark is mainly interesting for professionals or retirees who seek peace, space, and a green environment and are willing to pay a higher rent for it. Singles and couples without young children best fit the profile of this neighbourhood. For those who depend on public transport, want daily amenities within walking distance, or are looking for a social rental home, Forepark is not a logical choice. The supply of homes for sale in Forepark is, by the way, considerably larger than the rental stock, which makes the neighbourhood primarily a buyer's area.
