Living in Koningsplein and surrounding area: urban, lively and surprisingly quiet in the evenings

Koningsplein and surrounding area is one of those neighbourhoods in Den Haag where you live right in the city centre but still don't feel overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle. The neighbourhood is nestled between the Weimarstraat, the Laan van Meerdervoort and the Regentesseplein, in the heart of the Regentessekwartier. The buildings largely date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: characteristic upstairs and downstairs apartments, townhouses with high ceilings and ornate facades, and the occasional post-war block. If you want to buy an apartment here, you will mainly find porch flats and upper-floor apartments with original features.

The Weimarstraat is the lifeline of the neighbourhood. You will find a mix of small specialist shops, hairdressers, eateries and a handful of supermarkets. Resident Shantie describes it aptly: "Plenty of supermarkets. Nice restaurants and cafes. But also quiet, especially in the evening." That combination of liveliness during the day and tranquillity in the evening is exactly what many residents appreciate. At the Regentesseplein you can visit the market, and there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity, such as the Koningin Juliana School and OBS de Walvis, a little further away.

In terms of accessibility, the neighbourhood scores an 8.9 from residents, and rightly so. Tram stops on the Laan van Meerdervoort and the Weimarstraat take you to Den Haag Centraal within ten minutes. Hollands Spoor station is within cycling distance. By car, via the Laan van Meerdervoort you are quickly on the Utrechtsebaan towards the A12. The only point where residents are more critical is greenery: with a 7.7, that is the lowest sub-score. Dewi vd Weerd also mentions this: "Nice centrally located neighbourhood with good amenities. Could be a bit greener." Westbroekpark and the Scheveningse Bosjes are within cycling distance, but greenery in the neighbourhood itself is limited to some street trees and small squares.

The neighbourhood has 7,660 residents, the largest group (2,990) being between 25 and 45 years old. Single-person households are by far the majority (2,415), which fits the urban character. The education level is high: 61% of residents are highly educated, and the average income of €44,000 is above the Den Haag average. Residents give the neighbourhood an overall score of 8.2. If you compare the supply with the neighbouring neighbourhood Rond de Energiecentrale, you will sometimes find slightly lower prices there.
