Rental homes in Mariahoeve en Marlot, Den Haag

What does a rental property cost in Mariahoeve and Marlot?

Mariahoeve and Marlot is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: 62% of the housing stock of nearly 8,900 homes is rental housing. Of these, about 42% are owned by housing associations, meaning the social rental sector is strongly represented here. The remaining 20% is rented out by private landlords and investors. In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €1,942 per month, with a range of €589 to €4,750.

The WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €278,000, well below The Hague average of €354,000, making Mariahoeve and Marlot attractive for tenants who want relatively more space without paying top dollar.

Mariahoeve and Marlot: green and well-connected, but keep your eyes open

On the neighbourhood page of Mariahoeve and Marlot, residents rate the neighbourhood a 7.5 out of 10. That is a decent score, but the nuances are important. Accessibility scores the highest at 9.0, and that makes sense: tram lines 2 and 6 take you to the city centre or Den Haag Centraal in a quarter of an hour, and via the Lozerlaan and Benoordenhoutseweg you are quickly on the A12 towards Utrecht or Rotterdam. Resident Sabrine describes it as a "green residential area that is centrally located" and mentions the good amenities in the immediate vicinity. Shopping centre Mariahoeve on Laan van Nieuw Oost-Indië offers supermarkets, a pharmacy and various small shops. Amenities therefore score an 8.5.

But there is also another side. Resident Wesley is honest: "Something often happens and shady characters with bad intentions sometimes walk around. That is not safe for women and children." The safety score of 6.5 confirms that picture. Especially around the flats on Landréstraat and the shopping centre, it is not always pleasant in the evenings. At the same time, the greenery in the neighbourhood is a big plus (score 8.0). The Vermeerbos and the waterways along the Landrésingel give Mariahoeve a park-like character that you rarely find in other The Hague neighbourhoods. Wesley advocates for even more nature, but compared to many other neighbourhoods in The Hague, you already have quite a bit of greenery around you here.

The atmosphere differs per sub-area. In the villa area Marlot, it is quiet and spacious, with detached houses and plenty of privacy. The sub-areas Landen and Kampen consist more of porch flats and gallery flats from the 1960s, where the atmosphere is more urban and diverse. In Burgen and Horsten you will find a mix of single-family homes and apartments. The sense of community scores a 7.0: not bad, but not particularly close-knit either. The neighbourhood has a mixed population with many single-person households (4,760 of the households) and a sizeable group of over-65s (3,230 residents). You notice that in the quiet street scene during the day.

Renting in Mariahoeve and Marlot: for whom and for whom not?

With an average income of €37,400 and a labour participation rate of 57%, Mariahoeve and Marlot is not an expat enclave. The neighbourhood mainly attracts singles and starters looking for an affordable rental home with good public transport connections. For young families, the greenery and space are attractive, but the safety concerns mentioned by residents are worth considering. If you are looking for more peace and a villa neighbourhood atmosphere, then Marlot is for you, but expect higher rents. If you are considering buying a home, you can look at homes for sale in Mariahoeve and Marlot, where the WOZ value is more favourable than elsewhere in The Hague. If you are looking for more urban vibrancy, a neighbourhood like the Archipelbuurt might suit you better.
