What does a rental property cost in the Vruchtenbuurt?
The Vruchtenbuurt is predominantly an owner-occupied neighbourhood: 77% of homes are owned, and only 22% are rented. Of those rental properties, only 5% are owned by a housing association, meaning social housing is virtually non-existent here. The vast majority of rental supply (18%) comes from private landlords and falls in the free sector. This is reflected in the prices: the average rent in the free sector over the past year was €2,188 per month, with a range of €750 to €4,443. The average rented floor area was 121 m², so you get relatively spacious homes for that amount. By comparison, the average WOZ value in the Vruchtenbuurt is €421,000, well above The Hague average of €354,000. This higher price level directly translates to the rental market.

Family neighbourhood with short lines: how residents experience the Vruchtenbuurt
The Vruchtenbuurt scores a 7.7 out of 10 from residents on Buurtje.nl, and as you browse the reviews, one thing stands out: safety and accessibility both score 8.5. That is high for a neighbourhood in The Hague. Resident Noah describes it aptly: "A real family neighbourhood. Mostly families live here. There are many schools and playgrounds." That observation matches the figures: the largest age group is 45 to 65 years (2,800 residents), but there are also nearly 1,700 children under 15. The Applestraat, Perzikenstraat and Abrikozenstraat form the heart of the neighbourhood, with a mix of small shops, a supermarket and eateries on the Thomsonlaan.
What residents also appreciate is the sense of community, which also scores 8.5. Thomas sums it up succinctly with "just a good neighbourhood", and Max calls it a "very nice neighbourhood". At the same time, residents are honest about the downsides. The score for cleanliness is the lowest at 6.8: Noah notes that "more rubbish bins would be welcome" and that motorists in the neighbourhood regularly speed. Green spaces score 7.2, which is logical for a fairly densely built pre-war neighbourhood. For parks and greenery, you need to go to the nearby Westbroekpark en Duttendel, within walking distance towards the sea. You can read more experiences and all sub-scores on the neighbourhood page of Vruchtenbuurt.
In terms of accessibility, you are well placed: tram lines on the Loosduinsekade take you to Den Haag Centraal in a quarter of an hour, and the Laan van Meerdervoort quickly connects you to the Statenkwartier and Scheveningen. You can do your shopping on the Thomsonlaan or cycle in five minutes to the larger shops at the Loosduinse Hoofdplein. The Vruchtenbuurt neighbourhood itself is compact and clear, while the adjacent Eykenduinen offers a bit more space and greenery for those seeking that.
Does the Vruchtenbuurt suit you as a tenant?
With an average income of €45,000 and 53% highly educated, the Vruchtenbuurt mainly attracts dual-income earners and families with above-average incomes.
