Living in Duinzigt, The Hague

Duinzigt is a quiet, green-edged neighbourhood on the western edge of The Hague, nestled between the dunes and Benoordenhout. Those who live here have nature literally around the corner: Westbroekpark, Bosje van Poot and the dune areas towards Kijkduin and Scheveningen are within cycling distance. This makes the neighbourhood attractive for people who want to combine urban comfort with space and greenery, without feeling like they live in the city.

The buildings largely date from the 1950s and 1960s. You see many apartment blocks with gallery access and spacious single-family homes on larger plots, interspersed with stately villas towards the dune edge. The streets are wide, the gardens generally decent in size, and there is relatively little traffic. This contributes to the quiet atmosphere that residents appreciate.

In terms of amenities, Duinzigt is not the most bustling neighbourhood, but that suits its character. For daily shopping, you can go to the shops along Laan van Meerdervoort or towards the shopping area around Fahrenheitstraat. The neighbourhood has a number of primary schools in the immediate vicinity, including schools in adjacent neighbourhoods such as Nassaubuurt and Van Hoytemastraat en omgeving. For sports, there are opportunities via tennis clubs and bridle paths in the dunes.

Accessibility is reasonable, although you are not at a transport hub here. By tram (lines 1 and 9 are within cycling distance) you can reach the centre of The Hague in twenty minutes. The connection to the A4 and A12 motorways is accessible via Utrechtse Baan within a quarter of an hour by car. Parking is not a problem on most streets, which is an advantage for a neighbourhood in The Hague.

The residents of Duinzigt are predominantly older: the 65-plus group, with 1,345 people, is by far the largest age category. The proportion of highly educated people is 69% and the average income of €56,800 is clearly above The Hague average. This translates into a neighbourhood that feels quiet, tidy and well-maintained. One resident writes on the neighbourhood page of Duinzigt: "It is green, quiet and safe here. You notice that people have lived here for a long time and are proud of their street." Critical notes sometimes concern the limited range of shops in the neighbourhood itself and the somewhat dull atmosphere for younger residents.

Compared to neighbourhoods such as Arendsdorp or Waalsdorp, Duinzigt has a slightly more accessible price level, while the green character is similar. Compared to the wider district of Benoordenhout, the price level here is somewhat lower, which makes Duinzigt interesting for those who want the atmosphere of the district but are looking for a bit more room in the budget.
