Living in Duinoord: quiet streets, high expectations

Duinoord is nestled between Zuiderpark and the coast, but the neighbourhood itself has a distinctly urban character. The buildings largely consist of late 19th and early 20th century properties: wide streets with maisonettes, upper and lower apartments, interspersed with some larger ground-floor houses. The neighbourhood mainly attracts young professionals and dual-income couples, which is also visible in the figures: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years, accounting for nearly 3,000 of the over 8,800 residents. Education levels are high, 70% have completed higher education, and the average income of €57,500 is significantly above The Hague average.

On Buurtje.nl, Duinoord scores a 5.8 based on resident reviews. Accessibility stands out with a 10, but the neighbourhood scores much lower on sense of community (3.5) and green space (4.0). Resident Bert leaves no doubt: he writes that he would rather leave the neighbourhood sooner rather than later. That kind of honest feedback is valuable for anyone considering buying a home here. More reviews and all neighbourhood data can be found on the Duinoord neighbourhood page. The high accessibility score is no coincidence: tram lines 11 and 12 run through the neighbourhood towards the city centre and The Hague Central Station is within cycling distance. Via the A4 and A12 you are quickly on the motorway. For those who commute daily to Amsterdam or Rotterdam, the location is favourable.

There is no shortage of daily amenities. On and around Sweelinckplein, one of the livelier hubs in the neighbourhood, there are supermarkets, bakeries and eateries. For larger shopping trips, the shopping area on Fahrenheitstraat is within walking distance. Primary schools are present in the neighbourhood itself, and you hardly need to leave Duinoord for secondary education either. Education therefore scores a 7.0 in resident reviews. Green space is scarcer: the neighbourhood has little park space, although Zuiderpark is accessible. Those looking for more greenery and space can also look at Westbroekpark en Duttendel or Benoordenhout. Within Duinoord itself, Stadhoudersplantsoen and Sweelinckplein en omgeving are the two sub-neighbourhoods, each with its own character and offerings. More information about living and residing in the municipality can be found on the website of the municipality of The Hague.

For whom is buying in Duinoord realistic?

With an average sale price of over €761,000, Duinoord is no longer a starter neighbourhood. The neighbourhood mainly appeals to movers with substantial equity or capital, and dual-income couples who consciously choose urban living with good accessibility. Overbidding is not uncommon in this segment. In addition to the purchase price, also take into account additional costs such as transfer tax (2% for owner-occupiers) and notary fees. Those who are not yet willing or able to take the step to buying can also look at rental homes in Duinoord as a temporary alternative.
