Living in De Lanen, The Hague

De Lanen is a quiet, systematically laid-out residential neighbourhood in the district of Leidschenveen, built around the turn of the century. The streets are named after types of lanes, and the layout is green and clear, with wide pavements, plenty of greenery between the homes and a clear separation between residential and through traffic. The vast majority of homes consist of single-family homes, terraced houses and semi-detached houses. Apartments are also available, but they form a smaller part of the supply.

The neighbourhood attracts many families with children, which is also reflected in the figures: the 45-65 age group is the largest, but the 0-15 group is also well represented with 1,175 residents. You notice this in the streets: bicycles at the door, playing basketball on the street, and active use of public space. One resident describes it as follows: "Nice neighbourhood that is increasingly becoming an expat area." This internationalisation trend is noticeable in the composition of the neighbourhood but does not yet fundamentally change its character.

In terms of amenities, De Lanen scores well. Ypenburg shopping centre is within cycling distance and offers a full range of supermarkets, shops and eateries. Closer to home, there are also smaller amenities. For families, there are schools within walking or short cycling distance, a petting zoo, a swimming pool and a cinema, all accessible without a car. This makes the neighbourhood practical for families who do not need to take the car for every errand or activity.

Accessibility is one of De Lanen's strongest points. Residents give accessibility a 9.0, the highest sub-score. The RandstadRail stop Leidschenveen takes you to the centre of The Hague in about twenty minutes. Via the A4 and A12, you are quickly on the motorway towards Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Utrecht. The neighbourhood is also conveniently located relative to office locations in the Hague region, making it interesting for commuters. Education also scores a 9.0, which aligns with the presence of several primary schools and a broad school environment in the immediate vicinity.

Is a home for sale in De Lanen something for you?

De Lanen is primarily a family neighbourhood. With a high proportion of owner-occupied homes, good schools within cycling distance and a green, quiet living environment, the neighbourhood is most suitable for families who consciously choose a systematic, well-organised residential area away from the hustle and bustle of The Hague city centre. Movers who are looking for more space than an apartment in the city offers usually find what they are looking for here.

First-time buyers who buy an apartment in De Lanen can enter at the lower end of the market, but must take into account an average purchase price of over €627,000 and a range that already starts at €425,000. Overbidding is not uncommon in this neighbourhood. Those who want to be more flexible can also look at rental homes in De Lanen as an intermediate step. Seniors will find fewer lifetime-proof apartments here than in some other Hague neighbourhoods, although there are options.

What residents say about De Lanen

De Lanen receives an average resident rating of 8.2 out of 10, based on submitted reviews. The highest scores go to accessibility (9.0) and education (9.0), followed by safety (8.5) and amenities (8.5). The lowest sub-score is for community (7.0), which aligns with a resident's comment: "Nice neighbourhood that is increasingly becoming an expat area." This points to a neighbourhood in transition, where social cohesion is less self-evident than in a more stable, long-established residential area. Green scores a 7.5, which is reasonable but indicates room for improvement. View all reviews and sub-scores on the neighbourhood page of De Lanen.
