Living in Erasmus Veld, The Hague
Erasmus Veld is a relatively young neighbourhood in the southwest of The Hague, part of the Wateringse Veld district. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1990s and early 2000s, and this is visible in the architecture: spacious semi-detached houses, detached homes and terraced houses with gardens, wide streets, plenty of greenery and a planned layout. It is not a neighbourhood you would describe as vibrant or urban. Rather, it is quiet, orderly and family-oriented. Those who live here consciously choose space and greenery, not the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
The homes are mostly located in quiet residential streets around the green area that gives the neighbourhood its name. There are playgrounds, green strips and water features that give the neighbourhood an airy character. Families with children feel at home here: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old, and households with children form the largest category. Schools are nearby, including primary schools in Wateringse Veld that are easily accessible by bike. For daily shopping, the Wateringse Veld shopping centre is the closest option, with a supermarket, pharmacy and various shops within walking distance or a short bike ride.
Accessibility is a point that residents often mention. By car, the A4 and A12 are relatively quickly reachable, which appeals to commuters to Rotterdam or Amsterdam. You can drive to The Hague city centre in a quarter of an hour. For public transport, there are bus lines connecting to The Hague Central Station and The Hague Laan van NOI. Cycle routes to the centre are available, but the distance is not insignificant: expect 25 to 35 minutes of cycling to the city centre. That is a conscious trade-off that buyers make here.
Residents appreciate the peace, space and greenery. On the neighbourhood page for Erasmus Veld, you can read resident experiences and scores. One resident writes: "It's really quiet living here, the children can play outside and the streets are clean. But for going out or nice restaurants, you really have to take the car." That sums it up well: Erasmus Veld is not a neighbourhood for those who want to do something every evening in the area, but for those who consciously choose a quiet family environment with enough space.
Compared to neighbouring neighbourhoods such as Zonne Veld and Lage Veld, Erasmus Veld has a similar character: planned, green and family-oriented. Hoge Veld and Parkbuurt Oosteinde are also in the same district and have a similar housing supply. The municipality of The Hague offers more information about facilities, permits and developments in this part of the city via denhaag.nl.
Who is a home in Erasmus Veld interesting for?
Erasmus Veld mainly appeals to families looking for space and willing to pay a Hague price for it. With an average sale price of over €640,000 and homes averaging 146 m², these are not starter homes. Upsizers moving from an apartment or smaller home to a ground-based family home will find what they are looking for here. Seniors who already live in the neighbourhood and want to downsize have fewer options here: the supply is predominantly spacious and family-oriented. Be honest with yourself: the supply is limited (22 sales in a year), so overbidding is realistic. If you are more flexible on location, you can also look at homes for sale in Wateringse Veld as a whole, or the broader supply of homes for sale in The Hague. Renting as an intermediate step?
