Rental homes in Zeeheldenkwartier, Den Haag

What does a rental property cost in the Zeeheldenkwartier?

The Zeeheldenkwartier is a true rental neighbourhood: no less than 67% of the more than 6,750 homes are rental properties. It is striking that the largest share (43%) is owned by private and other landlords, while 24% is owned by housing corporations. Social housing is therefore limited and waiting times are long. In the free sector, the average rent over the past year was €2,052 per month, with a range of €421 to €4,800. That is substantial, especially compared to the Hague average. The average WOZ value of €394,000 is also above the municipal average of €354,000, indicating that the Zeeheldenkwartier is a sought-after location. An average rental home in the free sector here has around 99 m² of living space. Want to know what is available today and at what price? Check the current overview at the top of this page.

Creative, diverse and sometimes raw: how residents experience the Zeeheldenkwartier

The Zeeheldenkwartier scores a 7.9 out of 10 based on resident reviews on the neighbourhood page of the Zeeheldenkwartier. That is a decent score, but it does not tell the whole story. What stands out: residents are most satisfied with the amenities (8.8) and accessibility (8.6). The Prins Hendrikstraat and the Piet Heinstraat are full of small speciality shops, restaurants and coffee bars. Tram 1 and 9 take you to Central Station or Scheveningen in a few minutes, and Hollands Spoor is also within cycling distance. Education also scores highly (8.2), which is logical given the proximity of several primary schools and the Montessori Lyceum.

But residents are also honest about the downsides. Resident Yas (7.6/10) describes the neighbourhood as a place "for everyone" with a lot of diversity, but also mentions that "there is sometimes crime". She sees it positively: "Beautiful neighbourhood that is currently under a lot of construction, it looks promising." Zoe (8.8/10) speaks of "creative luxury" and describes a mix of people who are sometimes "snobbish", but also "a lot of creative people who are sociable." The safety score of 7.0 is the lowest sub-score, and you notice it: some side streets of the Torenstraat and around the Anna Paulownaplein feel less pleasant in the evening. Wende (7.6/10) sums it up succinctly: "Cosy on one side, less so on the other."

In terms of green space, the neighbourhood scores a 7.6. The Westbroekpark and the Scheveningse Bosjes are within walking distance, and the small Bankaplein offers some relief between the buildings. Yet the Zeeheldenkwartier itself is quite stony. The streets around the Zoutmanstraat and the Witte de Withstraat are compact and densely built. It is a neighbourhood with character: the mix of old Hague architecture, small galleries and neighbourhood cafés gives it a unique face that you will not quickly find in other Hague neighbourhoods. More details about the neighbourhood, including all reviews, can be found on the page about the rental supply in the Zeeheldenkwartier neighbourhood.

Renting in the Zeeheldenkwartier: for whom, for whom not?

With 4,465 single-person households and a dominant age group of 25 to 45 years, the Zeeheldenkwartier is par excellence a neighbourhood for working singles and couples without children. Over 54% of residents are highly educated and the average income of €43,600 is above the Hague average. Renting a home in the Zeeheldenkwartier therefore requires a substantial wallet, especially in the free sector. If you are looking for space for a young family, the limited amount of green space and the compact street layout may disappoint. Families with older children might be better off looking at the more spacious Benoordenhout or the green Belgisch Park. Prefer to buy?
