House prices and market figures for Kijkduin, The Hague

This price level reflects the seaside location and the relatively exclusive character of the neighbourhood.

Living in Kijkduin, The Hague

Kijkduin is a neighbourhood you won't easily forget once you've been there. It lies on the southwest coast of The Hague, right against the dunes and the beach, and you notice it in everything: the air, the tranquillity, the wide streets, and the way residents go about their daily lives here. It's not a bustling city neighbourhood, but neither is it a boring dormitory suburb. Levi puts it aptly: "It's an area that has the perfect balance between nature and the city. As soon as you walk into the dunes, you get the feeling that..." The sentence speaks for itself.

The housing stock largely consists of homes built in the 1960s and 1970s, with a mix of detached houses, semi-detached homes, and apartment blocks along the coastal strip. Around the Kijkduinsestraat and the beach square, there is a bit more liveliness, with shops, a supermarket, eateries, and the well-known beach pavilion. In summer, the beach attracts many visitors from outside, which Stefanie honestly mentions: "the summers are busy." Those who prefer peace and quiet should choose a street further from the beach, towards the edge of the dunes.

For families, there is sufficient educational provision in the immediate vicinity. Babs writes: "Many schools in the neighbourhood. Both primary and secondary schools. Everything is within walking distance." The sub-score for education of 8.7 confirms that picture. Green space scores a perfect 10.0, which is not surprising with the Ockenburgh dunes within walking distance. Ockenburgh Park and the surrounding nature are literally just around the corner.

In terms of accessibility, Kijkduin is less strong, which is also reflected in the neighbourhood scores (accessibility 8.3, but amenities 6.3). Buses run towards the centre of The Hague, including lines 23 and 26 towards Central Station and Scheveningen. By car, you can quickly reach the A4 or A12 via the Machiel Vrijenhoeklaan. A bicycle is practically indispensable in this neighbourhood: the centre of The Hague is about 8 kilometres away, doable but not for daily walking. A car or scooter is not a luxury for most residents.

The neighbourhood has relatively many residents aged 65 and over (735 out of 2,085 inhabitants) and many single-person households (540). This gives Kijkduin a quiet, mature character. The average income is €49,700, slightly below the district average but well above The Hague's average. The resident score is 8.1 out of 10.

Who is a home in Kijkduin interesting for?

Kijkduin mainly attracts buyers who consciously choose peace, nature, and a certain distance from the hustle and bustle of the city. Seniors and those aged 55 and over who want to downsize but still seek quality will find suitable apartments here. Families who value space and greenery can opt for the detached homes and semi-detached houses, although those prices put starters out of the running. With an average purchase price of over €930,000, buying a home in Kijkduin is reserved for movers or buyers with substantial personal assets. Be prepared for limited supply and quick decisions. Those who first want to explore whether the neighbourhood suits them can also look at rental homes in Kijkduin as a temporary or alternative option.
