Rental prices and market figures for Lage Veld, The Hague
Of the more than 1,630 homes in Lage Veld, 45% are in the rental sector. That sounds like a substantial rental market, but a large part of that is social housing: around 42% of all homes are owned by a housing association. Only 3% fall under other (private) landlords. The free sector is therefore limited in size.
In the free sector (excluding social housing), 28 homes were rented out in Lage Veld over the past twelve months. The average rent was €2,282 per month, with an average living area of 125 m². That works out to about €18 per m². The range runs from €1,073 to €3,450 per month, indicating that the supply varies greatly in type and size. Check the current rental prices at the top of this page for the most recent situation.
The average WOZ value in Lage Veld is €387,000. That is lower than the district average of Wateringse Veld (€460,000), but higher than The Hague average of €354,000. In terms of property value, Lage Veld is therefore in the middle range of The Hague, but clearly below the level of the broader district. For comparison: rental homes in Wateringse Veld generally have higher prices due to the newer construction in other sub-neighbourhoods.
Living in Lage Veld, The Hague
Lage Veld is a quiet, predominantly family-oriented neighbourhood in the south of The Hague, part of the Wateringse Veld district. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1990s and early 2000s, as part of a large-scale Vinex expansion. This is reflected in the streetscape: spacious terraced houses, semi-detached houses and a limited number of apartment complexes, with relatively much greenery between the streets. It is not a neighbourhood with a pronounced urban atmosphere, but rather a residential area where peace and space are central.
The largest age group consists of 45- to 65-year-olds (over 1,300 residents), and families with children are the most common household type. This colours the neighbourhood: it is generally quiet during the day, the streets are child-friendly and there is relatively little nuisance.
Facilities in Lage Veld
For daily shopping, residents rely on the nearby Wateringse Veld shopping centre, a short bike ride away. There you will find, among others, an Albert Heijn and other daily shops. Within the neighbourhood itself, facilities are limited. Schools are available in the immediate vicinity: the Vinex expansion was originally planned with primary schools within walking distance. For secondary education, you have to go to other districts in The Hague. For sports, there are opportunities at Sportpark Wateringse Veld, and the Groene Hart offers space for walking and cycling. There is hardly any catering in Lage Veld itself; for that you have to go to the centre of Wateringen or The Hague.
Accessibility of Lage Veld
Accessibility is one of the weaker points of the neighbourhood, and this is also reflected in the resident score: accessibility scores only 4.0. There is no train station nearby. Bus lines connect Lage Veld with The Hague Central, but the frequency and travel time are not ideal. By bike, you are in the centre of The Hague in about 30 to 40 minutes, depending on your starting point. By car, the A4 is relatively quickly accessible, which makes commuting to Rotterdam or Amsterdam easier than by public transport. Parking is free on most streets, which is an advantage for motorists. Those who depend on public transport must take longer travel times into account.
What residents appreciate and what they like less
On the neighbourhood page of Lage Veld, residents give the neighbourhood an average score of 6.0 based on 2 reviews. Safety (8.5) and sense of community (8.0) score remarkably high. One resident describes the neighbourhood as: "Quiet and safe, you know your neighbours and the children play outside. But for everything you need, you have to get in the car." That sums up the character of Lage Veld well. The lower scores for accessibility (4.0) and beauty (4.0) indicate points for attention: the streetscape is functional but not particularly attractive, and the public transport connections leave something to be desired.
Compared to neighbouring communities Hoge Veld and Zonne Veld, Lage Veld has a similar character: quiet Vinex development, family-oriented, with the same accessibility limitations. Also Erasmus Veld and Parkbuurt Oosteinde are related neighbourhoods in the same district, with slightly different housing types and facility levels.
Is a rental home in Lage Veld right for you?
Lage Veld is most suitable for families and people who value peace and space over urban dynamics. The neighbourhood is less attractive for starters or young people who depend on public transport or value a lively environment within walking distance. Expats with a car and a preference for a quiet living environment can do well here, although the free sector rental prices at an average of €2,282 per month are on the high side. The supply of rental houses in the free sector is limited (28 rentals in a year), so it is wise to respond quickly to available rental homes. For social housing, you must be registered with a Hague housing association such as Staedion or Vestia; waiting lists in The Hague are long. As an alternative, the homes for sale in Lage Veld are worth considering, especially now that the WOZ value is still below the district average. More information about living and permits can be found on the website of the municipality of The Hague.
