Living in Bosweide, The Hague
Bosweide is a quiet, green residential neighbourhood on the southeastern edge of The Hague, located in the Ypenburg district. The neighbourhood has a distinctly suburban character: wide streets, plenty of greenery, spacious plots and little traffic. It is not a neighbourhood where you go shopping or sit on a terrace in the evening, but that is not why people come to live here either. Those who choose Bosweide consciously choose space, tranquillity and a green living environment within cycling distance of The Hague's amenities.
The homes are predominantly detached or semi-detached houses, built in the 1990s and early 2000s as part of the larger Ypenburg development. The architecture is varied but recognisable as Vinex heritage: functional, spacious, with attention to gardens and public green spaces. The greenery scores a perfect 10 in resident ratings, and that matches the layout of the neighbourhood: there are parks and water features in the immediate vicinity that give the area an almost rural feel.
In terms of amenities, Bosweide is well-served for a residential neighbourhood of this size. The nearby shopping centre in Ypenburg offers daily groceries, and for a wider range, the centre of Delft or The Hague is easily accessible. Residents give accessibility a 10, and that is no exaggeration: the neighbourhood is close to the A13 and A4 motorways, and Ypenburg railway station (within walking distance or a short bike ride) provides direct connections to The Hague Central and Rotterdam. By car, you can reach the centre of The Hague or Delft within twenty minutes. Schools and education score a 9, indicating that families are well catered for here. Primary schools are available in the immediate vicinity, and options for secondary education in Ypenburg and the surrounding area are more than sufficient.
Residents rate Bosweide an average of 7.9 out of 10. Resident Lily describes it succinctly but aptly: "Fine. A good place to live as a family." That says a lot, really. It is not a trendy city neighbourhood, but a neighbourhood that works. The community score of 4.0 stands out as the lowest sub-score, suggesting that neighbours do not seek each other out intensively. That fits the character of the neighbourhood: people live here pleasantly but also keep to themselves somewhat. Find all reviews and neighbourhood data on the Bosweide neighbourhood page.
For those who want to compare within the district: sister neighbourhood Morgenweide has a similar character, while Singels and Waterbuurt each bring their own atmosphere. Also Tedingerbroek and De Venen are worth exploring if you are undecided between neighbourhoods within Ypenburg. More information about the wider district can be found on the page about owner-occupied homes in Ypenburg.
Who is a home in Bosweide suitable for?
Bosweide mainly attracts families and people in their forties who are looking for space without completely leaving the city behind. The largest age group is 45-65 years, and 50% of residents are married. That characterises the neighbourhood: this is not a place for first-time buyers; prices start at €575,000 and the homes are large. Upsizers with equity or dual-income earners with a solid income are a better fit here. Be honest with yourself about the budget: with an average purchase price of over €950,000, overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. Supply is limited, with only a handful of homes sold per year. Those who want to be more flexible or are unsure can also look at rental properties in Bosweide, although that supply is scarce.
