Living in Duttendel, The Hague

Duttendel is one of the quietest and greenest corners of The Hague, nestled between Westbroekpark and the dune edge towards Kijkduin and Ockenburgh. The neighbourhood has about 1,310 residents and thus has a village-like, almost secluded character, while the city starts just around the corner. The streets are wide, the gardens are large, and you won't hear trams or the bustle of a shopping street here. That is exactly what residents appreciate.

The housing types are predominantly detached or semi-detached, with a fair share of two-under-one-roof homes. Many properties date from the 1950s and 1960s, built in a period when space was still taken for granted. This translates into plots that you rarely encounter elsewhere in The Hague for comparable budgets. The average home has an area of 162 m², but there are also larger properties that exceed €2 million.

In terms of amenities, Duttendel is deliberately modest. There is no supermarket within walking distance, and public transport is nothing to write home about. Resident Emma puts it well: "Nice neighbourhood, could have done with some supermarkets and public transport closer. But otherwise a nice neighbourhood close to the city and next to the dunes." For daily shopping, you rely on the surrounding neighbourhoods, such as Loosduinen or the centre of Kijkduin. By car that is no problem, but those without a car notice the difference. The nearest bus stop connects you to the centre of The Hague, but the frequency is modest. By bike you are in the city centre in twenty minutes, thanks in part to the quiet routes through the park.

Westbroekpark borders directly on the neighbourhood and offers a rose garden, ponds and walking paths. The dunes of Ockenburgh are within cycling distance, as is the beach of Kijkduin. If you take living outside the city seriously, you are in good hands here. Primary schools can be found in the adjacent neighbourhoods; secondary schools are reachable by bike towards Loosduinen or Scheveningen.

Compared to neighbouring community Westbroekpark, Duttendel is even quieter and more residential in nature. Westbroekpark has slightly more through traffic due to its proximity to the park itself. If you want to combine the tranquillity of Duttendel with more urban dynamics, you could also look at neighbourhoods such as Belgisch Park or Benoordenhout, which have a different character but are also in the higher segment. More about the atmosphere, daily life and opinions of residents can be found on the neighbourhood main page of Duttendel.

The largest age group in Duttendel is 65-plus (405 out of 1,310 residents), followed by the 45-65 age group. This is reflected in the quiet atmosphere and the composition of the neighbourhood: few students or young families with small children live here, but rather established households that have consciously chosen peace and space. The average income of €79,600 per household is well above the The Hague average of €38,600, and 53% of residents have a high level of education.

Who is a home for sale in Duttendel interesting for?

Duttendel is not a neighbourhood for first-time buyers, unless you have substantial personal assets or an exceptionally high income. The average purchase price of over €1.2 million speaks for itself. The neighbourhood best suits movers or seniors who consciously choose peace, greenery and space, and are willing to take the car for daily shopping. Families with older children who can cycle independently to school or sports are also well placed here. If you really need the city for daily life, you will find that the location on the edge of The Hague is sometimes inconvenient. If you are looking for an alternative in a lower segment, it is also worth looking at rental homes in Duttendel as an intermediate step.
