House prices and market figures for Arendsdorp, The Hague
Arendsdorp is a neighbourhood where buying is not cheap, but you get something in return. Of the approximately 1,130 homes, 40% are owner-occupied and 59% are rental properties, a significant portion of which are with private landlords. The average WOZ value is €517,000, which is clearly above The Hague average of €354,000, but slightly below the district average of Benoordenhout (€624,000). That difference says something about Arendsdorp's position within the district: it is a quieter, greener enclave, but not the most expensive part of Benoordenhout.
In the past twelve months, 28 homes were sold at an average purchase price of €527,786. The range runs from €270,000 to €1,385,000, indicating that both compact apartments and more spacious detached homes come onto the market. The average living area in those transactions was 107 m², which works out to an average price of around €4,933 per square metre.

Living in Arendsdorp, The Hague
If you don't know Arendsdorp, you could drive right through it without realising it exists. The neighbourhood is wedged between the Haagse Bos and the villa district that Benoordenhout has traditionally been, giving it a character you find in few other The Hague neighbourhoods: it is green, quiet, yet within walking distance of everything. The name refers to the estate of the same name, and that estate atmosphere still hangs in the air a little.
The buildings largely consist of homes from the first half of the twentieth century, supplemented by post-war additions. You will find porch apartments, larger single-family homes, and occasionally a detached property. The streets are wide, there are mature trees, and cars rarely roar past the front door here. Residents appreciate the peace and the immediate proximity of the Haagse Bos, one of The Hague's larger city parks, where you can literally walk or cycle for a stroll or a run.
For daily shopping, the Fahrenheitstraat or Theresiastraat are easily accessible by bike, and the shops on Laan van Meerdervoort are not far either. A large supermarket just around the corner is lacking in Arendsdorp itself, which some residents mention as a minor drawback. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity of the district; for secondary education, there are several options towards Scheveningen and the city centre. Sports clubs and tennis courts can be found in and around the Haagse Bos.
In terms of accessibility, Arendsdorp scores reasonably well. Tram and bus lines connect the neighbourhood with The Hague city centre and Den Haag Centraal station, which is about a ten-minute bike ride away. By car, you can quickly reach the A44 towards Amsterdam or Leiden via the Wassenaarseweg. Parking is still relatively relaxed in most streets compared to the more densely built-up part of Benoordenhout.
Residents describe the neighbourhood on the Arendsdorp neighbourhood page as pleasant and green, with a high degree of tranquillity. One resident writes: "You live here in the middle of the city but it feels like you live on the edge of a forest. That is truly unique for The Hague." Criticism sometimes focuses on the limited shopping options within walking distance and the traffic pressure on the main roads at the edge of the neighbourhood. Compared to neighbourhoods like Nassaubuurt or Van Hoytemastraat en omgeving, Arendsdorp is quieter and greener, but also a bit less lively at street level.
Who is a home for sale in Arendsdorp interesting for?
Given the age structure, with a large group of over-65s and relatively few young people, Arendsdorp mainly attracts downsizers and seniors looking for peace and greenery without leaving the city. The high average income of €76,100 and the high education level of 74% confirm that picture. First-time buyers will have to do some serious calculations with an average purchase price of over €527,000 and a lower limit of €270,000, and in many cases will have to bid over the asking price. If you would rather try out the neighbourhood first, you can also look at rental properties in Arendsdorp. The changing supply of homes for sale means you need patience: with 28 transactions in a year, this is not a neighbourhood where something new appears every week.
