What does a rental property cost in the Regentessekwartier?
The Regentessekwartier is pre-eminently a tenant neighbourhood: 67% of the more than 7,600 homes are rental properties. Strikingly, only 17% are owned by housing associations, while as much as 49% are rented out by private landlords and investors. This means that supply is mainly in the free sector, where competition is fierce. Over the past twelve months, 212 homes were rented out in the free sector, at an average rent of €1,588 per month. The range runs from €511 to €3,795, with an average floor area of 84 m². This puts the Regentessekwartier close to the Hague average in terms of WOZ value (€349,000 versus €354,000 for all of Den Haag), but the rents feel steep for what you get in square metres.

Cosy and central, but not flawless: how residents experience the Regentessekwartier
The Regentessekwartier scores an 8.0 from residents on Buurtje.nl, based on 15 reviews. That is a decent score, and it does not come out of the blue. The neighbourhood has an unmistakable character: wide avenues with early twentieth-century townhouses, interspersed with smaller porch flats and newer apartments. The Regentesselaan and the Weimarstraat form the backbone of daily life. The Weimarstraat in particular is a household name in The Hague, with a mix of Turkish bakeries, Surinamese toko shops, vintage stores and brown cafes. Resident Shantie sums it up succinctly: "Plenty of supermarkets, nice restaurants and cafes, but also quiet, especially in the evening." And Sarah, who has lived there for ten years, simply calls the neighbourhood "cosy" and "friendly".
Residents score accessibility an 8.3, and that is accurate. Tram lines on the Loosduinsekade and the Laan van Meerdervoort take you to Den Haag Centraal or Hollands Spoor in ten minutes. By bike, you are in Scheveningen in a quarter of an hour. The area around Koningsplein is especially sought after because of its proximity to Huygenspark and the direct connection to the centre. Towards the neighbourhood Rond de Energiecentrale you will find a bit more space and larger homes, although supply there is limited.
Yet not everything is rosy. Resident John van der Ham repeatedly asks for more greenery and better maintenance thereof, and more residents recognise this. The sub-score for greenery is therefore the lowest at 7.9, together with that for cleanliness (7.5). The streets are narrow, parking is a struggle, and on warm days you notice that there are few trees. Dewi van der Weerd confirms this: "Nice centrally located neighbourhood with good amenities, but it could be a bit greener." If you need parks on your doorstep, you should know that Zuiderpark and Westbroekpark are a bike ride away.

Renting in the Regentessekwartier: for whom and for whom not?
With 53% highly educated and a dominant age group of 25 to 45 years, the Regentessekwartier is especially popular among young professionals and couples without children. The many single-person households (4,570 of the approximately 7,600 homes) confirm that picture. Renting an apartment in Regentessekwartier is the most realistic scenario: most rental properties are apartments of 50 to 100 m². For families with growing children, the limited outdoor space and lack of greenery can be a drawback. Looking for more space or prefer to buy? Then check the supply of homes for sale in Regentessekwartier. Those with a lower budget must take into account the limited social housing stock: with only 17% housing association ownership, the waiting time is long.

Auto-translated to English by AINice centrally located neighbourhood with good amenities. Could be a bit greener.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood to live in. Plenty of supermarkets. Nice restaurants and cafes. But also quiet, especially in the evening.
Auto-translated to English by AII love all the nature and the park with children. It's soothing and it makes you cheerful. It's quiet, but in 5 minutes you can cycle to all the hustle and bustle you want. My personal neighbours sometimes even organise barbecues with the neighbours. All in all, it's a quiet neighbourhood with lots of nature and it's close to get everywhere from this neighbourhood. Yet my address is sometimes hard for people to find, which is why accessibility is a bit difficult. Sometimes people describe where we are and we explain to them how to get to our house from there. So it's quiet, safe with even a children's park, very green, there aren't many amenities in the neighbourhood itself, but everything is very close, hygienic with responsible residents and a sense of community (at least with my neighbours).
