Living in Oud Scheveningen, The Hague

Oud Scheveningen is the oldest and most authentic part of Scheveningen, located directly behind the boulevard. The neighbourhood has a distinct working-class character that you will find in few other The Hague neighbourhoods in such a pure form. Narrow streets, terraced houses from the early twentieth century and a neighbourhood culture strongly linked to Scheveningen's fishing history: that is Oud Scheveningen. Johan O. aptly describes it as a "nice working-class neighbourhood" where it is pleasant to live in a child-rich environment, and you recognise that feeling when you walk through it.

The housing stock largely consists of older terraced houses and smaller apartments. New construction is scarce here; the buildings mainly date from the period 1900-1940. This gives the neighbourhood character, but also means that homes sometimes have smaller floor areas and are less energy-efficient. The average gas consumption of 920 m³ per year is therefore higher than in new-build neighbourhoods.

Facilities in Oud Scheveningen

You do your daily shopping on the nearby Badhuisstraat and Keizerstraat, where you will find an Albert Heijn and various specialist shops. For a larger range of shops, the centre of Scheveningen is within cycling distance. The neighbourhood has its own primary school and is close to several schools in the surrounding neighbourhoods of the Scheveningen district. For sports, you benefit from the proximity of the beach, which is within walking distance and serves as an informal recreational area in summer. Swimming pool De Blinkerd in Scheveningen is accessible by bicycle. Hospitality venues are mainly found towards the boulevard and Keizerstraat, with a mix of eateries and fish restaurants that keep the fishing tradition alive.

Accessibility of Oud Scheveningen

By public transport, you can reach the city centre via tram 11 (towards The Hague Central) in about twenty minutes. Bus 22 and various other lines connect the neighbourhood with other parts of The Hague. A car is handy but not necessary; parking in the narrow streets requires a resident's permit and can be extra difficult in the summer months due to the flow of tourists towards the beach. By bicycle, you can reach the centre of The Hague in about twenty-five minutes via the coastal route or the Lozerlaan. The connection to the A44 towards Amsterdam and the A12 towards Utrecht is accessible via the Hubertustunnel and the Utrechtsebaan, about ten to fifteen minutes' drive away.
