Living in Hoge Veld, The Hague
Hoge Veld is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the district Wateringse Veld on the southwestern side of The Hague. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1990s and early 2000s as part of a large-scale Vinex expansion. This is immediately visible: wide streets, spacious green strips, terraced houses, semi-detached houses and detached houses alternate. Apartments are also present, but the neighbourhood predominantly has a ground-bound character. Living in Hoge Veld therefore feels more like a quiet suburban municipality than a typical The Hague city district.
Residents give the neighbourhood an overall score of 8.0 out of 10, and that is easy to understand when you walk around. Resident Queenie, who has lived there for seventeen years, describes it as: "Have lived here for 17 years, think it's a nice neighbourhood, lots of playgrounds, shops nearby, quite cosy." The high scores for amenities (9.2) and education (9.0) stand out and are no coincidence.
Amenities in Hoge Veld
The Wateringse Veld shopping centre, a short bike ride away, offers a wide range of supermarkets and daily shops. Closer to home, there are also smaller shopping strips with a supermarket, bakery and pharmacy. Families are well catered for in terms of schools: the neighbourhood has several primary schools within walking distance, and secondary schools are also easily accessible in the immediate vicinity. The high education score (9.0) confirms that parents are satisfied with this. For sports, there are football clubs, a sports hall and extensive playgrounds spread throughout the district. The greenery in and around the neighbourhood scores an 8.4: the spacious layout of the district with parks, water features and public gardens makes it pleasant to be outdoors, also with children.
Accessibility of Hoge Veld
Accessibility scores a 6.8, which is realistic for a suburb of The Hague. By car, you can quickly reach the motorway towards Amsterdam, Rotterdam or the centre of The Hague via the A4 and N14. Public transport in the neighbourhood is less strong: you are dependent on bus lines that take you to The Hague Ypenburg station or The Hague Central station. This requires a bit more travel time than neighbourhoods closer to the centre. The bicycle is the daily choice for many residents: the centre of The Hague is about 25 to 30 minutes away by bike. Parking is free on most streets, which is pleasant compared to the busier The Hague districts.
To be fair: long-term resident Aro Aziz (7.9 out of 10) enjoys living there, but notes that in recent years there have been more frequent incidents involving firearms. "This makes it less safe in the evening," he writes. The safety score of 7.4 is therefore the lowest sub-score. Those who like to walk outside in the evening would do well to take this into account. During the day, the neighbourhood is quiet and child-friendly.
Compared to sister neighbourhoods such as Lage Veld and Zonne Veld, Hoge Veld has a similar character: spacious, green and family-oriented. Erasmus Veld and Parkbuurt Oosteinde are also in the same district and are worth considering if you want to compare more options. More background on the neighbourhood, resident figures and all reviews can be found on the Hoge Veld neighbourhood page.
Is renting in Hoge Veld right for you?
Hoge Veld is most suitable for families with children and dual-income couples who value space, greenery and good schools more than urban vibrancy. The largest age group is 25 to 45 years (2,495 residents), followed by the 45 to 65 group. There are relatively many families with children (1,900 households) and 36% are married. First-time buyers on a tight budget will struggle: private sector rents start at around €1,045 per month, but the average is almost twice as high. Social housing is available through housing associations, but waiting lists in The Hague are long. Registering with the municipality of The Hague and with Woonnet Haaglanden is the first step.

Private-sector rental properties in Hoge Veld are scarce: only 32 homes were rented out in a whole year, so responding quickly to available rental properties is essential.

I've lived here for over 8 years and have had virtually no bad experiences, never had bad neighbours and always enjoyed living here. The only remark is that in recent years incidents involving guns have become more frequent. This makes it less safe, especially in the evenings. A big plus is the variety of cultures, where no one is discriminated against. Children attended the primary school called Fontein where they had a lot of fun, and in the shopping centre there is plenty of choice, not just 2 supermarkets, but also a hairdresser, a chemist, a bakery and a toy shop. All in all, a top neighbourhood.

Auto-translated to English by AII like most people here and everything is close by, which is very nice, but still some stranger things happen at Hoge Veld and Lage Veld, and because of this I feel unsafe. It's about the murder at Hoge Veld and the shooting at Lage Veld. Apart from these 2 experiences, everything is fine!
