The average income of €44,000 is also higher than The Hague average of €38,600.

Living in Koningsplein en omgeving, Den Haag

Koningsplein en omgeving is wedged between the Regentessekwartier and the centre of Den Haag. The neighbourhood has a recognisable The Hague character: wide avenues with stately pre-war townhouses, interspersed with smaller apartment buildings from the interwar period and a few post-war blocks. Many homes have high ceilings, bay windows and original details, making the neighbourhood attractive for those seeking character rather than new-build. Koningsplein itself functions as a central point, surrounded by a mix of residential streets that run towards the Weimarstraat and the Regentesseplein.

The population is predominantly young and highly educated: the largest group is 25 to 45 years old (nearly 3,000 of the 7,660 residents), and 61% are highly educated. Single-person households form the majority (2,415), which underscores the urban and dynamic character of the neighbourhood. Only 22% are married.

The Weimarstraat is the lifeline of this neighbourhood. Here you will find several supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo and various Turkish and Asian speciality shops) within walking distance.
