Market around the corner, tram at your doorstep: what it's really like to live here
Residents of Groente- en Fruitmarkt give their neighbourhood an 8.4 out of 10 based on resident experiences. That is a strong score, especially for an urban neighbourhood that is not exactly known as a quiet residential area. Sylvia, one of the reviewers, describes it as follows: "Nice neighbourhood to live in. The market nearby, always lively. Shops in the area, good connections with trams and buses." But she is also honest: "Hygiene leaves something to be desired. Household waste on the street, rubbish next to the bins." That is exactly the picture that the sub-scores confirm: accessibility scores a perfect 10, amenities also a 10, green spaces a 9 and education also a 9. Cleanliness gets stuck at a 5. That is no small point.
The location is undeniably one of the neighbourhood's strong points. Trams and buses run frequently, and the centre of The Hague is within walking distance. The proximity of the market gives the area a lively, almost village-like atmosphere in the middle of the city. This mainly attracts young residents: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, accounting for more than a third of the population. Single-person households are the most common household type, with 995 units. Only 24% of residents are married, reinforcing the image of a neighbourhood popular with singles and starters.
