House prices and market figures Kom Loosduinen, The Hague
Kom Loosduinen is predominantly a rental neighbourhood: only 33% of the 2,989 homes are owner-occupied, a large proportion of which are owned by housing associations (42% of the total stock). This makes the supply of owner-occupied homes in Kom Loosduinen relatively limited, but the market is moving. In the past twelve months, 33 homes were sold with an average purchase price of €355,470. The range runs from €185,000 to €595,000, indicating that both first-time buyers and movers can find something here.

The WOZ value is €253,000, which is clearly lower than the district average for Loosduinen (€303,000) and well below The Hague average of €354,000.

Living in Kom Loosduinen, The Hague
Kom Loosduinen is the historic heart of the district of the same name, and you can tell. Around the Loosduinen village centre, with the Loosduinse Hoofdstraat as its backbone, you will find a mix of older terraced houses, porch flats and some detached homes, mostly built between the 1930s and 1970s. The streetscape is varied, sometimes a bit dated, but has a village character that is not a given in The Hague. Resident Helene describes it aptly: "Loosduinen is a cosy, wooded area." She has a large walled garden, something that occurs more often in this neighbourhood than you might expect.
The neighbourhood has an older population: the largest age group is 65-plus (over 1,600 residents). That colours the atmosphere. It is quiet, social cohesion is present, but it is not a buzzing neighbourhood. Single-person households dominate (1,475 of the households), and only 29% are married. This translates into a mixed population composition with diverse backgrounds and lifestyles, something several residents mention.
For daily shopping, you can go to the local shopping centre on the Loosduinse Hoofdstraat, which includes a supermarket and small specialist shops. For a larger range, the Leyweg shopping centre in the nearby Escamp district is within cycling distance. Green space is well represented: the neighbourhood scores an 8.2 for green space in resident reviews, and that is accurate. The Westduinpark and Zuiderpark are within cycling distance, and within the neighbourhood there are also green strips and quiet tree-lined streets.
Accessibility is remarkably good for a neighbourhood that is somewhat on the edge of the city. Residents give accessibility a 9.2, the highest sub-score. Tram 1 and several bus lines connect Kom Loosduinen with the centre of The Hague and The Hague Central Station, in about twenty minutes. By car, the A4 and A20 are easily accessible via the Lozerlaan.
Not everything is rosy. Resident Y. Bouman has mixed feelings: he points to fatbikes driving too fast, cars using the street as a racetrack, and shared scooters blocking the pavement. He also indicates that the neighbourhood has deteriorated in some respects. Safety scores a 7.4, the lowest sub-score, and that aligns with his observations. These are points of attention that you as a buyer should take seriously. Read all reviews on the neighbourhood page of Kom Loosduinen for a complete picture.
Compared to neighbouring communities such as Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg or Houtwijk, Kom Loosduinen has a distinct identity due to its village centre and historic buildings. The broader district Loosduinen offers more variety in housing types and has a higher average WOZ value, but Kom Loosduinen is the most accessible in terms of entry price.
Who is a home in Kom Loosduinen interesting for?
Buying in Kom Loosduinen is particularly attractive for first-time buyers who want to get a foot in the door in The Hague, and for those aged 50-plus or seniors who appreciate peace, green space and good public transport connections. The relatively low WOZ value and the wide price range (€185,000 to €595,000) make the neighbourhood more accessible than many other The Hague neighbourhoods. Young families can find a place here, but the supply is more limited than in surrounding districts. Keep in mind that the supply of owner-occupied homes is small: on average only 33 homes are sold per year. Acting quickly pays off. Considering renting as an intermediate step?

I am very satisfied
Auto-translated to English by AIMany fatbikers who run you over or knock the creases out of your trousers, there still needs to be more enforcement on that. Cars racing through the street as if it's Zandvoort! Shared scooters parked everywhere on the pavement. Many residents here are visually impaired; this is simply life-threatening for this group. A trip by ambulance to the hospital costs more than parking that scooter somewhere safe. The housing corporations need to better maintain/insulate the homes for the exorbitant rent they charge! The trees in the street need to be pruned/trimmed. On a gloomy day, we have the lights on by 3 PM, so high energy bills! More activities should be held in the shopping centre. The rents for the shop premises are far too high, there is a lot of vacancy!
