The average WOZ value is €396,000, slightly below the district average of the Bomen- en Bloemenbuurt (€408,000), but clearly above the municipal average of €354,000 for owner-occupied homes in The Hague.

Living in Bomenbuurt, The Hague

Bomenbuurt is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood in the west of The Hague, nestled between the Fahrenheitstraat and the Westbroekpark. The streets are named after trees, which not only explains the name but also sets the atmosphere: wide avenues, plenty of greenery between the homes, and a pace that is slightly slower than in the busy city centre. The buildings largely date from the first half of the twentieth century, with a mix of 1920s and 1930s porch flats, upper-floor apartments, and detached and semi-detached villas towards the park. This makes the architecture varied and the neighbourhood visually appealing.

The Fahrenheitstraat is the social heart of the neighbourhood. Resident D describes it aptly: "In my experience, I have lived in the neighbourhood for a long time, but it doesn't take long to get to know people. This is partly due to the Fahrenheitstraat, where you might run into neighbours and other people from the neighbourhood, so you get to know them quickly." That street has a varied range of shops, from daily groceries to specialist stores, and forms a natural meeting point for residents. Another resident simply calls it a "cosy, atmospheric neighbourhood with many amenities and schools, alongside a nice shopping street."

In terms of education, the neighbourhood scores well: there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and residents give education a 9.0. This is also reflected in the demographics: the largest age group consists of 25- to 45-year-olds, and there are relatively many families alongside many single-person households. Green space scores slightly lower (7.8), but the Westbroekpark and the Scheveningse Bosjes are within cycling distance and compensate for the lack of large parks within the neighbourhood itself.

Accessibility is a real strength of Bomenbuurt: residents give this a 9.5. Tram lines 1, 9 and 17 run along or through the neighbourhood towards the centre of The Hague, which you can reach in about ten to fifteen minutes. Den Haag Centraal station is a quarter of an hour away by bike. By car, the A4 and A12 are accessible via the Lozerlaan or Westersingel. Parking can sometimes be a search in busy streets, but that is more the rule than the exception in this part of The Hague.

Compared to the neighbouring Bloemenbuurt-West and Bloemenbuurt-Oost, Bomenbuurt has a slightly quieter character and higher average house prices. Those who want to understand the neighbourhood from a broader district perspective will find more context on the page about the Bomen- en Bloemenbuurt. All resident reviews and neighbourhood scores can be found on the Bomenbuurt overview page.

Who is a home in Bomenbuurt interesting for?

Bomenbuurt mainly attracts families and dual-income earners in their thirties and forties who are looking for peace and greenery without leaving the city. The high level of education (57% highly educated) and the average income of €42,300 per year fit a neighbourhood where owner-occupied homes start at €225,000 but the middle range is well above four hundred thousand. First-time buyers with a limited budget will find few entry-level homes here; for them, the rental homes in Bomenbuurt or neighbourhoods elsewhere in The Hague may be a more realistic starting point. Those who want to buy in Bomenbuurt would do well to act quickly: supply is limited and popular homes sell fast.
