Living in Geuzenkwartier, The Hague
Geuzenkwartier is a compact, predominantly pre-war neighbourhood nestled between Laan van Meerdervoort, Fahrenheitstraat and Statenkwartier. The streets are named after figures from the Eighty Years' War, such as Piet Heinstraat, Willem de Zwijgerlaan and Prins Mauritsstraat. The housing stock mainly consists of townhouses and upper-floor apartments from the interwar period, with the occasional post-war apartment complex. Characteristic are the narrow, tree-lined streets that give the neighbourhood a village feel, despite its urban location.
Resident Richard describes it aptly: "Cosy neighbourhood with lots of young children." He notes that Geuzenkwartier sometimes stands in the shadow of the more expensive Statenkwartier. This modesty also has advantages: the atmosphere is down-to-earth, the community is close-knit, and you pay less for a similar type of home.
