Living in Marlot, The Hague
Marlot is a villa neighbourhood in the southeast of The Hague, nestled between the Laan van Meerdervoort, the Bezuidenhoutseweg and the greenery of the Marlot estate. The neighbourhood was largely developed during the interwar period and early post-war years, with spacious detached villas and semi-detached houses on large plots. Many homes feature characteristic 1930s architecture with wide bay windows, tiled roofs and deep gardens. The streetscape is green and quiet, with wide avenues, old trees and little through traffic. It feels more like a suburb than a part of The Hague city centre.
Amenities around Marlot
Marlot itself has no shopping centre or supermarket. For daily groceries, you drive or cycle to the Mariahoeve shopping centre (Albert Heijn, Jumbo) about ten minutes away by bike, or to the shops along the Laan van Meerdervoort towards Benoordenhout.
