Rental homes in Waldeck, Den Haag

What does a rental property cost in Waldeck?

Waldeck is a neighbourhood where renting is the norm: 58% of the more than 10,000 homes are rental properties. A significant portion of these, around 41%, are owned by housing associations. The private sector is therefore more limited than you might expect. In the past twelve months, 152 homes were rented out in the private sector, at an average rent of €1,708 per month. The range varies from €310 to €3,850, with an average floor area of 83 m². That is substantial for a neighbourhood where the average WOZ value of €287,000 is below The Hague's average of €354,000. The disposable income (€33,900) is also below the municipal average of €38,600. So renting in Waldeck is not cheap, but compared to neighbourhoods like de Archipelbuurt or het Benoordenhout, you generally pay less here for a similar apartment.

Waldeck: an ageing neighbourhood with village-like tranquillity in the city

Waldeck is a neighbourhood that doesn't immediately appear on your radar when you move to The Hague, and that might be precisely its charm. The largest group of residents is aged 65 and over (nearly 5,700 out of 17,760 inhabitants), and you can tell from the atmosphere. It is quiet, tidy and well-organised. Residents on the Waldeck neighbourhood page give the area a score of 8.0 out of 10 and particularly appreciate the safety (9.0) and the greenery (8.0). One resident sums it up succinctly: "Quiet, clean, no nuisance." Another calls it "a quiet neighbourhood with a supermarket and small shops." That is correct. Along the Fahrenheitstraat and in the shopping centre around the Mozartlaan, you will find daily groceries, a pharmacy and a hairdresser, but for extensive shopping or going out, you need to go to the centre of Den Haag.

The neighbourhood consists of clearly distinct areas. In Waldeck-Zuid, you will find many porch flats from the 1950s and 1960s, mostly owned by housing associations. Nieuw Waldeck is more modern and greener in layout, with more single-family homes. The Componistenbuurt, named after composers like Mozart and Beethoven, has a mix of rental and owner-occupied homes and also attracts younger families. Waldeck-Noord borders the Zuiderpark, which is nice if you enjoy running or walking.

In terms of accessibility, Waldeck scores an 8.0 from residents. Tram lines towards the centre and Hollands Spoor station stop along the Laan van Meerdervoort, and by bike you can reach Kijkduin beach in fifteen minutes. The municipality of Den Haag is investing in the public space of this part of the city, but major changes are slow. The neighbourhood feels more like a stable, established area than a neighbourhood in transition.

Renting in Waldeck: for whom and for whom not?

Waldeck is well-suited to singles and older people seeking peace and safety. With 5,125 single-person households, that is by far the largest group. Renting an apartment in Waldeck is attractive if you have no need for nightlife or a bustling street scene. For young couples or families with children, the supply of schools and playgrounds is limited compared to neighbourhoods like Westbroekpark en Duttendel. The labour participation rate of 54% reflects the ageing population: many residents are retired.
