What does a rental home in Zorgvliet cost? Expect double the Hague average
Zorgvliet is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods to rent in all of The Hague. In the free sector, the average rent over the past twelve months was €2,604 per month, with a range of €1,535 to €4,700. These are substantial amounts, but they fit the character of the neighbourhood: large homes (averaging 610 m²), an average WOZ value of €892,000, and a median income of €73,500. For comparison: the average WOZ value in The Hague as a whole is €354,000, and the average income is €38,600. Zorgvliet is therefore playing in a completely different league.
Only 32% of the 417 homes in Zorgvliet are rental properties. Social housing is virtually absent (2%), meaning social rent hardly exists here. The remaining 30% of rental homes are owned by private landlords and investors. This makes the supply of rental homes in Zorgvliet limited and exclusive. At the top of this page you can see the current listings with daily prices, so you can directly compare what is available now. Those looking for more affordable options would do well to also check the broader supply of rentals in The Hague.
Living in Zorgvliet: embassy district with village-like tranquillity
Zorgvliet is nestled between Westbroekpark, Scheveningse Bosjes, and the stately avenues leading to the Peace Palace. It is a neighbourhood where you are more likely to see the flag of a foreign embassy flying than a billboard. The streets are wide, the gardens deep, and the atmosphere remarkably quiet for a place that is less than two kilometres as the crow flies from The Hague city centre. Residents often describe Zorgvliet as a green enclave: many old trees, little traffic, and an almost rural silence, especially in the evenings.
On the Zorgvliet neighbourhood page you can view extensive resident experiences and scores per category. What comes up in reviews is the appreciation for the peace and greenery, but also the honest note that daily amenities are scarce. There is no supermarket in the neighbourhood itself. For groceries, you rely on the Frederik Hendriklaan area in the adjacent Archipelbuurt or the shops along Groot Hertoginnelaan towards Belgisch Park. One resident summed it up aptly: "You don't live here for convenience, but for the space and tranquillity. And those are priceless."
In terms of accessibility, Zorgvliet is well located. Trams 1 and 9 stop at the edges of the neighbourhood, and by car you can quickly reach the motorway via Scheveningseweg. Scheveningen beach is within cycling distance. The population is relatively ageing: the largest age group is 65-plus (270 of the 720 residents), and almost half of the households are married. It is not a neighbourhood with a vibrant nightlife or trendy coffee shops. It is a place you consciously choose if you value space, greenery, and privacy. The Zorgvliet neighbourhood forms the core of this area, with the most characteristic villas and townhouses.
Renting in Zorgvliet: for whom, and for whom not?
With an average rent above €2,600 per month, a rental home in Zorgvliet is reserved for a select group. Think of expats working at international organisations (the ICC and Europol are nearby), diplomats, or dual-income high earners who consciously choose space and greenery over urban vibrancy. Starters and students can forget Zorgvliet: the prices and lack of social housing make it unaffordable. Also, for those looking for a compact apartment to rent in Zorgvliet, options are limited, as the supply mainly consists of large single-family homes and villas. Considering buying instead of renting? Then check the supply of homes for sale in Zorgvliet, although purchase prices are in the same exclusive category.
