The largest age group is 65-plus, with over 4,000 residents. This gives the district a calm, sometimes somewhat sedate character.
Yet Benoordenhout is also suitable for families. Resident Sam writes that it is "a very nice neighbourhood with friendly people" and mentions the proximity of schools and playgrounds as a plus point. Specifically: the Montessori School on Wassenaarseweg, De Kleine Prins primary school and the Dalton Lyceum are all in or near the district.

Quite good except that there are many elderly people living there
Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a very pleasant neighbourhood with friendly people and almost always clean and hygienic. It's a really nice place to live, also with children, because there is a playground nearby and also many schools.
