House prices and market figures for Lage Veld, The Hague
The owner-occupied market in Lage Veld is relatively quiet in terms of transaction volume: in the past twelve months, 10 homes were sold here, with an average purchase price of €574,350. Prices ranged from €385,000 to €775,000, indicating that both starter homes and larger family homes are available. With an average sold living area of 143 m², this works out at a price per square metre of approximately €4,016. This is notable, because the average WOZ value in the neighbourhood is €387,000, clearly lower than the district average for Wateringse Veld (€460,000) and also slightly above the municipal average for The Hague (€354,000). Purchase prices are therefore higher than the WOZ values suggest, which fits the current market dynamics. Around 55% of the housing stock is owner-occupied, with the remainder largely consisting of housing association rentals (42%). The supply mainly comprises ground-floor family homes from the 1990s, characteristic of the Wateringse Veld expansion.

Living in Lage Veld, The Hague
Lage Veld is one of the quieter neighbourhoods within the district Wateringse Veld, a relatively young urban district on the southwestern edge of The Hague that was developed in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The neighbourhood has the recognisable face of planned new-build: wide streets, spacious pavements, plenty of greenery between the homes and predominantly semi-detached houses and terraced houses with gardens. It is not a neighbourhood you drive through by chance; Lage Veld has a closed, inward-looking character that works well for families but can feel dull for those seeking hustle and bustle.
The largest age group is 45- to 65-year-olds, but there are also many families with children. This is reflected in the streets: bicycles at the front door, basketball hoops on the driveway and playgrounds within walking distance. The labour participation rate is 61% and the average income of €36,800 is slightly below the Hague average, giving the neighbourhood a mixed but predominantly middle-class character.
In terms of amenities: the Leyweg shopping centre is within cycling distance and offers a wide range of supermarkets, a pharmacy and various shops for daily groceries. For schools, there are several primary schools in the immediate vicinity of Wateringse Veld, including schools within walking distance of Lage Veld. There is no secondary school in the district itself, so for secondary education children are dependent on neighbouring districts or the city centre. Sports clubs and recreational facilities are available via the Wateringse Veld park and the green buffer zone towards Westland.
Accessibility is a pain point that residents regularly mention. There is no train station in the immediate vicinity; the nearest public transport connections run via bus lines towards The Hague Central Station or Laan van NOI. By car, the A4 and A12 are relatively quickly accessible, but the centre of The Hague is a 20 to 30 minute journey by public transport. The accessibility score of 4.0 out of 10 in the resident reviews speaks volumes. Residents strongly appreciate the safety (8.5) and sense of community (8.0), but are critical of the neighbourhood's appearance (beauty scores 4.0) and amenities (5.5). One resident describes it as: "Quiet and safe, but you are completely dependent on the car for everything beyond groceries."

Compared to neighbouring areas such as Hoge Veld and Zonne Veld, Lage Veld has a similar character, although prices and housing type may vary slightly per sub-neighbourhood.

Who is a home in Lage Veld suitable for?
Lage Veld mainly appeals to families who prioritise space, peace and safety over urban liveliness. The combination of ground-floor homes with gardens, a safe living environment and reasonable schools in the area makes the neighbourhood attractive for families with young children. First-time buyers will find that buying in Lage Veld with an entry price around €385,000 is financially challenging; overbidding is not unusual in the current market. Seniors seeking peace but dependent on public transport may find the limited public transport connections a drawback. Those considering renting as an alternative or as an intermediate step can find the supply of rental homes in Lage Veld on this website. The limited number of transactions per year (10 in the past 12 months) means that supply is scarce and goes quickly.
