Homes for sale in Kampen, Den Haag

House prices and market figures for Kampen, The Hague

The owner-occupied market in Kampen is relatively modest in size: only 36% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, the rest is rental housing. This makes supply scarce and competition for available homes noticeable. The average WOZ value is €254,000, which is lower than the district average for Mariahoeve en Marlot (€278,000) and well below The Hague average of €354,000. However, actual transaction prices are higher: in the past twelve months, 34 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €337,926. The range runs from €185,000 to €450,000, indicating that both starter homes and larger owner-occupied houses come onto the market. With an average living area of 83 m², the price per square metre works out at approximately €4,070. That is affordable by The Hague standards, although you should take into account overbidding in a tight market.

Living in Kampen, The Hague

Kampen is a quiet, green-dominated residential neighbourhood in the northeast of The Hague, part of the district Mariahoeve en Marlot. The neighbourhood was largely built in the 1960s and 1970s and consists mainly of porch flats, gallery flats and a limited number of ground-level terraced houses. This explains the relatively compact average living area of 83 m². The streets are spacious, there is plenty of street greenery and the neighbourhood has a clear, quiet appearance that you recognise in many post-war Hague districts, but here with a bit more space and greenery than average.

Sabrine, a resident, aptly describes the neighbourhood as a "green residential area that is centrally located" with "many good amenities nearby" and "greenery in the surroundings". That combination is precisely what makes Kampen attractive. The Escamplaan and the immediate area offer supermarkets, a pharmacy and daily shops within walking distance. The Leyweg shopping centre, one of the larger shopping centres in this part of The Hague, is within cycling distance and provides a wide range of goods. For families with children, there are primary schools in the immediate vicinity, and the greenery of the Haagse Beemden and Zuiderpark can be reached within a few minutes by bike.

Accessibility scores remarkably high: residents give this a perfect 10 out of 10. That is not an exaggeration. Several bus lines connect Kampen with the centre of The Hague and with Den Haag Centraal station. The RandstadRail stop Leyenburg is a short bike ride away and offers a fast connection to the city centre and Zoetermeer. By car, the A4 and A12 are quickly accessible via the Neherkade or Lozerlaan, which also makes the neighbourhood attractive for commuters.

The overall resident score stands at 8.0 out of 10, based on reviews you can read on the Kampen neighbourhood page. Greenery (9.0) and accessibility (10.0) are the positive outliers. Safety, community and housing each score 7.0, indicating an average, stable neighbourhood without major problems but also without a strong neighbourhood feel. Compared to neighbouring areas Landen and Marlot, Kampen has a somewhat more anonymous, urban character due to the higher proportion of flats. Marlot, on the other hand, has more detached houses and a higher WOZ value. If you are looking for an owner-occupied home in a quieter, village-like setting, you could also look at Burgen en Horsten, the fourth neighbourhood within the same district.

Does an owner-occupied home in Kampen suit you as a buyer?

Kampen mainly attracts young working people and couples: the largest age group is 25 to 45 years old and single-person households are the most common. For starters, the neighbourhood is interesting because the entry price of €185,000 is relatively low for The Hague, although for that amount you should expect a smaller apartment and possibly deferred maintenance. Movers looking for space can also find ground-level homes in the higher price range up to €450,000. Families can live here perfectly well, but the supply of spacious single-family homes is limited; for that, the neighbouring district Mariahoeve en Marlot as a whole is a better search area. If you are unsure whether buying is the right time now, you can also look at rental homes in Kampen as an alternative, although 64% of the stock is already rented out via housing corporations and other landlords.
