Living in Groente- en Fruitmarkt: market sounds, trams and a lively neighbourhood
Groente- en Fruitmarkt is one of the liveliest corners of The Hague. The neighbourhood owes its name to the historic market that is still held there, and you can feel that character daily. Residents of Groente- en Fruitmarkt give the area an 8.4 out of 10, a high score driven by excellent accessibility (10/10) and amenities (10/10). Sylvia, one of the reviewers, describes it aptly: "Nice neighbourhood to live in. The market nearby, always cosy. Shops in the area, good connections with trams and buses." At the same time, she is honest about a downside: litter on the streets and rubbish next to the bins. The score for cleanliness (5/10) confirms that this remains a point of attention. Those looking for a polished, quiet residential area should take that into account.
In terms of amenities, the neighbourhood is well provided. Daily shopping can be done at the nearby supermarkets on Spui or Grote Marktstraat, and the weekly market on the square itself is a true neighbourhood institution. For green spaces, you also score highly: Malieveld and Haagse Bos are within cycling distance, and residents give greenery a 9/10.

Accessibility is downright strong. Several tram lines connect the neighbourhood directly to The Hague Central Station, less than a ten-minute walk away. Via the station, you are quickly in Amsterdam, Rotterdam or Leiden. The A12 and A4 motorways are accessible via the Utrechtsebaan. This explains why 25- to 45-year-olds form the largest group in the neighbourhood: people who work in the city or region and want to live centrally. Those looking for a quieter alternative outside the city centre can also look at Benoordenhout or Belgisch Park, both with a greener appearance and different types of homes.
