What does a rental property cost in Van Stolkpark and Scheveningse Bosjes?

For the current daily price and available properties, you can consult the overview at the top of this page.
Of the 435 homes in the neighbourhood, 44% are rental properties. Only 11% are owned by a housing association, meaning the social rental market here is virtually non-existent. The remaining 33% are rented out by private landlords and investors. Anyone looking for an affordable rental home must therefore reckon with free sector prices. Compared to the broader supply of rental properties in The Hague, you are in the absolute top segment here.
Living among the old trees and embassies: what does Van Stolkpark really feel like?
Van Stolkpark and Scheveningse Bosjes is not an average Hague neighbourhood. The area around the Scheveningseweg and Van Stolkpark has a very distinct atmosphere: wide avenues with monumental beech and oak trees, stately nineteenth-century villas, and a tranquillity you would not expect five minutes by bike from the city centre. It is the neighbourhood of embassy residences, the Peace Palace and the Congress Centre. That sounds posh, and it is. But residents mainly describe it as pleasantly quiet, with a village feel despite its central location.
On the neighbourhood page of Van Stolkpark and Scheveningse Bosjes you can read residents' experiences. A recurring theme: the combination of greenery and accessibility. The Scheveningse Bosjes border directly on the neighbourhood and offer walking and running routes towards Scheveningen. At the same time, you are within ten minutes of The Hague Central Station via tram line 1 or the Scheveningseweg. Residents call the area "an oasis in the city" and appreciate the peace, greenery and safety. There are also criticisms: the range of shops in the immediate vicinity is limited (for daily groceries you go to the Fred or Belgisch Park), and the parking pressure around the embassies can be annoying.
The population composition matches the character. The largest age group is 45 to 65 years (245 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (225). There are families with young children (100 residents under 15), but the neighbourhood mainly attracts dual-income earners and pensioners with higher incomes. The average income is €75,400, almost double the Hague average. In terms of education, 62% are highly educated. It is a neighbourhood where you meet your neighbour walking the dog in the park in the evening, not a neighbourhood with a vibrant nightlife.

Renting in Van Stolkpark: which tenants is it realistic for?
With rents starting around €2,250 per month, renting an apartment in Van Stolkpark and Scheveningse Bosjes is only accessible to tenants with above-average incomes.
