Living in Drie Papegaaien, Wassenaar

Drie Papegaaien is one of the quietest and most secluded neighbourhoods of Wassenaar. The streets are hidden behind high hedges and mature tree lines, the houses are set far back from the road, and most plots are generously sized. Those who live here consciously choose peace, privacy and a green living environment. It is not a neighbourhood you drive through by chance: Drie Papegaaien has no through roads, and that is exactly what residents appreciate.

The housing stock consists largely of villas and large single-family homes, many built between the 1920s and 1960s. Architecturally, there is variety: from stately 1930s villas with thatched roofs to more modern extensions on large plots. New construction is rare. Anyone considering buying an apartment in Drie Papegaaien will notice that this type of home is hardly available here: the neighbourhood is almost entirely geared towards spacious ground-based homes.

In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is deliberately kept simple. There are no supermarkets or shops in the neighbourhood itself, but the centre of Wassenaar with its local shops, bakers, butchers and speciality stores is within cycling distance. The Wassenaarse Slag and the dunes are a short distance away, as is the Clingendael estate with its Japanese garden. For daily groceries, residents usually drive to the centre or to The Hague. Primary schools in the area can be found in the centre of Wassenaar; for secondary education, families look towards Wassenaar or The Hague.

Accessibility by car is good: via the Rijksstraatweg and the A44 you are quickly on the motorway towards Amsterdam or The Hague. Public transport is more limited: bus lines run via Wassenaar to The Hague Central Station, but a car is practically indispensable for most residents. The Hague Central Station is about a twenty-minute drive away. Cyclists can reach the centre of Wassenaar via quiet routes in a quarter of an hour.

Residents describe the neighbourhood as exceptionally quiet and green. On the neighbourhood page of Drie Papegaaien you can read all reviews and neighbourhood scores. One resident writes: "You hardly hear any traffic here, only birds. That's exactly why we came to live here." Recurring criticisms are the limited walking distance to amenities and the relatively high cost of living in the area. Compared to neighbourhoods such as Oud-Wassenaar or Nieuw-Wassenaar, Drie Papegaaien is more compact and exclusive in character. De Kieviet and Oud-Clingendaal are similar neighbourhoods for those seeking a quieter and more secluded living environment within the Zuidwestelijk deel der gemeente.

Who is a home for sale in Drie Papegaaien interesting for?

The 45-65 age group is the largest (320 of the 900 residents), followed by those aged 65 and over (260). First-time buyers and young families are hardly represented, which is not surprising given the prices.

Overbidding is realistic for sought-after properties. Supply is scarce: only a handful of homes are sold per year. Those who want to be more flexible or first explore the neighbourhood can also look at rental homes in Drie Papegaaien as a temporary alternative.
