Living in Moerwijk-Noord, The Hague
Moerwijk-Noord is a post-war residential neighbourhood in the southwest of The Hague, built in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the major urban expansion of that period. The neighbourhood largely consists of porch flats and terraced houses in the typical stamp structure of that time: straight streets, green strips in between, and a clear layout. It is not a neighbourhood that stands out for architectural features, but it does offer functional and affordable living for a mixed group of residents.
The population is young to middle-aged: the largest group of residents is between 25 and 45 years old (over 2,300 people), and single-person households are by far the most common (nearly 1,950). Only 24% of households are married. This makes Moerwijk-Noord a neighbourhood that suits singles and young couples well, but less so large families looking for space.

You can do your daily shopping in the immediate vicinity. On Thorbeckelaan and around Zuiderpark you will find supermarkets and small shops. For a larger range of shops, you will need to go to the centre of The Hague or the nearby shopping area on Leyweg. In terms of schools, primary schools are accessible in and around the neighbourhood; for secondary education you will need to look elsewhere in the city. Zuiderpark, directly adjacent to the neighbourhood, is one of the largest parks in The Hague and offers plenty of space for sports, recreation and greenery. Residents therefore give greenery a perfect score of 10 out of 10, which is understandable with this park within walking distance.
