Living in Loosduinen: village character with urban conveniences
For many residents, Loosduinen feels like a village within The Hague. The district has its own historic centre around the Loosduinsekade and the Hervormde Kerk, with small shops, a weekly market and hospitality venues that you would expect more in a Westland village than in a big city. Residents of Loosduinen give the district an 8.1 out of 10 based on reviews on Buurtje.nl. Accessibility (8.4), green spaces (8.3) and sense of community (8.3) score particularly highly. Resident Helene describes it as follows: "Loosduinen is a cosy, wooded area. I have nice neighbours and a large, enclosed green garden, which I am very happy with." Another resident is even more emphatic: "I really enjoy living here, I never want to leave."
In terms of amenities, you are well catered for. Supermarkets such as Albert Heijn and Lidl can be found at the Loosduinse Hoofdplein and in the Savornin Lohmanplein shopping centre. For primary education, there are, among others, the Koningin Julianaschool and De Kleine Wereld primary school. Zuiderpark and Uithofpark are within cycling distance and offer space for running, walking and sports. Sportpark Loosduinen is home to several football and tennis clubs. Accessibility is excellent: tram lines 3 and 4 connect Loosduinen with the centre of The Hague and The Hague Central Station within twenty minutes. By car, via the Lozerlaan you are quickly on the A4 towards Amsterdam or Rotterdam. The beach at Kijkduin is a few minutes' cycle away.
To be fair, not everything is rosy. Resident Y. Bouman points to nuisance from fatbikes, speeders and shared scooters left here and there. He also notes: "Unfortunately, it is going downhill; what was once cosy and safe is no longer so." The scores for cleanliness (7.8) and education (7.0) are therefore the lowest sub-scores. The neighbourhoods within the district differ considerably. In Houtwijk you will find many terraced houses from the 1970s and 1980s with spacious gardens, while the old village centre is more compact and lively. Kerketuinen en Zichtenburg offers a mix of porch flats and newer apartments. It pays to compare per neighbourhood.
For which buyers is Loosduinen a smart choice?
With an entry price of around €185,000 for an apartment, buying a home in Loosduinen is achievable for starters who want to stay in The Hague. Families with children often choose Houtwijk because of the larger family homes and the proximity of schools and playgrounds. For seniors, the district is attractive due to the high level of amenities and good public transport connections. Bear in mind that you may need to overbid on popular homes, especially in the segment up to €350,000. Don't forget the additional costs: transfer tax (2% for owner-occupation), notary and estate agent fees add up. If you find the purchase prices too high, you can also look at rental homes in Loosduinen, because with 53% rental properties, the supply there is generally more extensive.

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!
Auto-translated to English by AII have nice neighbours and a large, enclosed American-style green garden, which I am very happy with.
Auto-translated to English by AIUnfortunately, it's going downhill; what was once so cosy and safe is no longer that at all.
Auto-translated to English by AII've been living in Houtwijk for a while now and overall I'm very satisfied with the neighbourhood. What I particularly experience as positive are the people here. The neighbours are friendly and helpful, and there is a pleasant atmosphere on the street. The area is also clean and well-maintained, which gives a nice and cared-for feeling. Moreover, it feels very safe here; I feel at ease in the surroundings at any time of day. What I find less pleasant is the accessibility of Houtwijk by public transport. There are buses and trams, but the service is limited and connections to other parts of the city are sometimes a bit cumbersome or time-consuming. This makes it difficult for people without a car to get to other places quickly. All in all, I think Houtwijk is a nice and quiet place to live, especially because of the friendly neighbours, the cleanliness and the feeling of safety. Hopefully public transport will be better organised in the future.
Auto-translated to English by AII really enjoy it here, don't want to leave anymore
Auto-translated to English by AIEveryone is always open for a chat, the neighbours look out for each other. All amenities are close by. Actually, this is the perfect neighbourhood. Everyone neatly cleans up the mess on the street, the houses are beautiful and well-insulated, green spaces are next to the centre which is also nice and spacious. Moreover, there is plenty to do for the children. Accessibility by both public transport and car is fine.
Auto-translated to English by AIQuiet residential area with lots of greenery. Pleasant living environment and friendly neighbours. Hardly any nuisance. The only downside is no shops in the immediate vicinity.
